When you realize that it is up to you to promote the values of your own youth.

Things like saying, "Sir," "Ma'am," opening doors for ladies, being courteous and most importantly, saying, "Thank You" and "Please" more often.

After all, how are the kids supposed to learn manners if they are not shown by example?

My Best,

Scott

true au.............my 10-year-old grandson was in Walmart the other day. Not sure what it was but someone knocked a bunch of stuff onto the floor. An employee and another shopper started picking it all up. My grandson walked over and helped get it all up without being told or asked. When they were done, the customer said "Here son, thanks for the help" and handed him a $5 bill. He went on to say something like, "not many kids these days would just do that on their own". I wasn't there but it made me proud. He'll be alright!!

I was contemplating one of those hover around motorized chairs for people my age...but would have to get it modified with a hitch to carry my "stuff" to the beach hunt and of course add full tracks to it so it won't get stuck in the sand, and a 300cc engine

 

[AU24K]

Smokey, my Friend,

Get "Baja" tread tires, and befriend a neighborhood kid with exciting tales of lost treasure washed up on the beach and that you will "show" him where and how to search, and you should be OK.

And, yes, at LEAST a 300cc engine. (nitrous optional....)
But remember, NO WHEELIES!
(Because, old bones break easily and heal slowly....)

My Best,

...when moldy cheese and bread is still fresh.

 

[AU24K]

Bigscoop,

I believe, on the fly, that it was Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) who admonished the youth in the 70's to:
"Stay in school; if they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can make something out of you."


Me? I just cut off the mold and keep pushin' on...

My Best,

When you realize why that you've never seen a "U-Haul" behind a hearse....

[AU24K]

When it occurs to you that tomorrow may be the best day of your life. Or your last........
(sorry)

What will you make of tomorrow?


My Best,

Scott

 

[NGE]

When O' Bummercare kicks in and the only penicillan you can afford, is to go buy, or pick from trash bins moldy old bread and veggies.

AU24K , You must have missed my James Dean post. " Dream as if you will live forever. Live as if you will die today." Frank

You know the 48 states


What There's 50 now

No, it's 57 states dang it!!! Why does everyone keep getting it wrong?

What honey? I was born in 57 and there are 50 states? Are you sure? You mean I don't get to retire next year? Fiddlesticks!!!

. . . Never mind.

The traffic was maddening today, the weekend before Christmas.

I found myself behind a "Poke-along" driver and thought to myself,
"Either hitch it to the side or saddle up and ride, ya galoot!"

Then I thought, "What did I just think?"

I CAN'T be that old, am I?

Best,

Scott

Most people slow down because there eyesight or reflexes have diminished, But there are those that have always driven slow, I believe, because of FEAR . We all harbor some sort of fear. Mine is height to a certain extent. I don't like to look down from the edge of high places. It feels like I am being pulled over the edge, But looking down from an ultralight doesn't bother me at all. Go figure? Frank

 

[AU24K]

Frankn my Friend,

Come along camping with me in my mountains and you will find peace with heights.


Unless you fall down....

But, I will be there to offer a saving hand...


I wish all a Blessed Christmas!

Best,

Scott

When you call grown men, "Son." (as in: "Son, if you want to live to be as old as me, you best not do that....")

(Sheesh....)

Best,
Scott

When you call everyone "honey" who is younger than you! Red
