And possibly a radio! Hehe

I wasn't actually in Nam, having missed it by mere months, but served with many who were.
The hours spent with them, talking about their tours, and really just listening to them, helped them to try to find a way to begin putting the past in the past....

One Vet told me that he feared a new arrival "Butter Bar" who had the "PX shine" still on his rank insignia. He said that they usually had no idea what was ahead for the next week or two.
If they lived that long....

Perhaps a joke within a story....

As I have mentioned, I used to be fond of illegal substances....
Ahem!

When I was much younger, a few of us would drop some "Vitamin A."

Late one summer night, 4-5 of us were tripping and we decided to walk to a large park to throw some "Hippy Disc."
(Frisbie, that is...)

Well, as we were walking to the park, one Friend started telling a joke. He had a beer in hand and it took the entire time of the walk for him to finish the joke.
I noticed during the walk that he was still sucking on the same beer.
Upon closer examination, I saw that the beer can was empty.
And upside down!

Anyway, here's the joke...

One day on Sesame Street, the bus was traveling down the street. Possibly going to Mr. Hooper's store to buy some candy.
Well, on this bus, near the front, were two large girls named "Patty."
Now, when I say large, I mean overweight....
Also on the bus, near the back was a fellow named, "Ross."
Ross is not all there. Perhaps he has a hole in his marble bag?
Sometimes he will argue with himself....

Anywhich, the bus is going down Sesame Street when all of a sudden ol' Cheat and Lester jump out in front of the bus from behind a parked car!
The bus screeches to a halt and Cheat and Lester start beating on the sides of the bus and raising hell.
The bus driver turns on his CB radio to call the police to report the incident.
Finally, on Channel 19, a police officer keys the mike and says, "What's going on?"

The bus driver says,
"You are not going to believe this Officer, but,
I've got two obese Patty's, special Ross and Cheat and Lester pickin' on a Sesame Street Bus!"

And, in case you don't get it......

Midnight here in Georgia and the rain falls....
Beating a rhythm on my doorstep.
A rhythm that proves hard to follow with my guitar.....
Yet, lyrics come easily....
My "Lyric Notebook" will feed well tonight.

When it rains, I sometimes feel sad, but then, I'm not camping in it, am I?
Not this time....



Reached #4 in 1970.

Best,

Scott

As one from the North, Kansas, and now having lived in Georgia for the last 10 years or so, can't I call myself a Southerner?
Yet?
Have I mentioned that I love boiled peanuts?

At the Job Fair, I introduced myself to the representatives of Kipper Tool and thanked them for recognizing me as a Veteran and providing the Scholarships that I received from them. They offered me a note-type journal that I accepted, thinking that it would be perfect to take on my upcoming journey to record my experience!

I can't wait to get "lost" in some unfamiliar mountains and write of my experiences to later post for my Friends!

Be Well, Y'all!

Scott

 

[AU24K]

And, whenever it rains,
The drops of rain are the tears that I cry for my Friends, my fellow Vets....
Those who are no longer "in the game....of life...."




Rest comfortably, my Fellow Vets. Your watch over America is complete.
It is now our tour of Duty.
Veterans present and Patriots now will carry on your vigilance....

We will NEVER forget your sacrifice.
America and I thank you for your Service.

Someone said play some funky music.

OK.

Here ya go, kids....



Reached #1 in 1976!

I had an afro and wore bell bottoms.

And then the Army gave me a haircut and introduced me to a new wardrobe....
But, that was so long ago.....

Another bottle emptied.
Another past memory relived.
Another night of sleep not possible.

How does one reconcile the thought of a Friend dying?
How does one live with them self, wondering if they could have done something.... to save another....

Thoughts you may not consider that I think of daily....

I want to fly away....



Forget the pain, forget the loss.
Fly.

Perhaps why I am looking into skydiving....
