My uncle Moe use to say this a lot. In Indian days, the men hunted the women did everything else and than the white guy showed up and thought he could make it all better?
I have never faced book. I joined an arrowhead site because of H.P guy showing Florida stuff. His collection is so over the top and he likes talk and showing them. I like to learn about them and he is great.
Everything else is my evolution. I really try and just keep myself occupied and happy.

WHATIFIND,

Speaking of train tracks here you go take a little tour through the rocky mountains.


The Mrs said she'd like to take it one day. I said gee as an employee I got to ride the passenger train free, just showed the employee card-freebee.:headbang:
I believe the Employee card # started 480***, then again I was 16 yrs old and started with the B&B Gang in the mountain division.

It's not always about size.

That so right Bill, lots of smaller short fellows can handle themselves.

When my oldest brother got his walking papers. He came into the bedroom to give me the worldly big brother talk.
"I'm not always going to be around to protect you so you listen up. You hit them as hard as you can, if they're still standing, hit them again harder. If they still stand-you run as fast as you can-ok?"
Such wise words I always thought. :laughing7:

Kid's Alright by Bettie Serveert of the Netherlands.
Lead singer, Carol Van Dijk, was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada of Dutch parents who moved back to the Netherlands in 1969. English was her first language, and she had problems with the Amsterdam version Dutch. She formed the band in the late '80's with fellow Amsterdam students. They has several albums, but PALOMINE that contains this song is great from beginning to end.

Jim,

I started in 1967 at the CPR and we still had free passes so I went to Vancouver on a free pass with 2 buddies for the Grey Cup. We spent more on food and booze than if we had of flown out there....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

That was awesome! I still remember watching Japan Today in the early nineties. They always had The Wrestling Report and there was this Hawaiian guy that was the best sumo wrestler ever.

Akebono- from Hawaii. I had to look it up. That guy was a badazz!
 

Welp...by looking at the clock on the wall....time to go. :sleepy2:
