I was sposd to be there Aug 26th but she broke another hip June 1st at the fridge getting some midnite sorbet. Years’re getting hard to come by and segue more as bucket list idear than real come true. Fandango in Caborca may hafta do but one I earned dearly.

Whatever? Will beat Mar ’10 in Gold Resource open pit mine opened in Oaxaca. Tom and I “detained” an hour under armed St Mine Police for entering GOROs open entrance KMs long rd and chased down cornered by 2 large guys on 4 wheels with big clubs. Took passports and called the cop. We joked awhile but apprehensive until the hip gun cop had a SUV full of kids to see the gringos. Relaxed some, he took a pencil stub and wrote names and we’ve laughed heads off 6 yrs since. PT? He’d meet us waiting half hr at the bob ware gate and we’d bring sirloins. There’s a thing of take self too serious and Reids did get some ritzy late. Me? Shoot from hip and lotza lip.8

In college I both sold shoes and waited tables and we DID men’s sox sizes hygienicswise draping the heel to toe over the fist w no complaints as 1st of all a majority fit M, 10-13 is why is made thus. Extreme small and large is ready known to a buyer . So to my experience The Donald my NOT have an extra point there!

Still, selling to guys it was not such an issue but occasionally a really lovely lady, and we at Sommer%Kauffman fought for them when on the floor and UP salesmsn, were a complete gas. Nice fashioned dressed, large boobs and small 7 1/2 Bs ‘d buy a matched set croq pumps and handbag and make both a dream night
and comiss pay day. AH youth!

Always gone by shoe store closing BUT when just waiting bar in hot spot pizza parlor still there closing time? might get both the croq lady and her daughter! Separate or 2 meat combo! Some things better than than a pay day cash out!

But more yet… aint sold shoes nor pizza in 57 years. Good paycheck meant became bought them on my own ever since, still…. AH, youth! Money aint all. But damn close all’s considered ! 8

Really torn today I feel I put up with a lot of unneeded foot dragging and endless complaint of the PT/MEXUS failings. Got some don’t know a gdamnthing spouting off I’m not impreesed at all cept to say go ta hell! Why do I write as I do.? Quite simple I was encouraged by some of the best teachers to just develop natural bent. I think I blogged the progression oncet but will get and link here.

TODAY tho: In Oct ’62 I was about in Nav tng Day Celestial at Waco J Connally AFB. Meant quit reading maps and made own position shooting what you can see in the day. Is sun, always but moon most days and an occasional Mercury 3 “star” fix for exact position. BANGO! All classes halted and Instructors making own maps for every C-123 AF lined up on the field ready to load Ft Hood troops off to Fl bases to hit Cuba. JFK backed the, call them Cuban Nuke Terrorists?, down, we resumed school and combat Air Craft and troops stood down. POTUS kissin up the same thugs today and all’s happy and I’d say Iran’s wanting to join N Korea n the same threat 55 yr later. Who’d a thunk. Soviets yes but even China never put short range missles 90 miles aways and was ready to let them be launched.

Fought it all tooth and nail and carry the scars today. Guess shoulda become a skinny little fink and organized Chicago S side some. 8

Is pretty simple to know about the only one here as aware of the future direction? When you wish upon a candle? Really tough to get a handle. Try, “Your’re lookin at him!” Chuck’s 2nd book lists his young B-57 troops right up there. I was then teaching old desk pilots how to effectively dive bomb day or night. No back seat to a soul! STILL. 8

NEVER FORGET! 1966-1967 Chuck delivered my San Miguel beer. Chilled cases  to draw  Combat  pay and tax  exclusion that  month  and a few broke on delivery 800 mi at 30K! DI Phillips, Capt USAF Snack Bar Officer and everybody had a share!

Lived with it now 50 years. In 80’s VA had me in discussion gps with mostly young guys there in last stages 70’s Nice no cigar. Days of ice cream and decent milk W of Hawaii. Not much assist. Had it diagnosed when it got a name but the Shrink wanted his cash before he’d even say so and I just let it rest with the VA and more than enough to 100% disabled called unemployability as boost to Max benefits but take the pay and got hell away from 6 mo apts in jam packed waiting rooms with great DoD Tricare Well Med gp finally. At least we won that war against recruiter lies way back. Became house hubby rising son while she sold houses and THEN found a way to make a fortune sitting at table drinking coffee. Very simple family USAA brokerage acts and a modem or call to ask quotes and it all blossomed so I finally realized I’d access to so much more research than ever dreamed about in library search in my EdD program at Texas Tech and here we is talking in it. Took much effort to actually get to places to check them out but with a good idea what was to be found already and cut to the chase and bring the findings home. So yep, self medicate is good Dewers or aged Single Malt ( great story behind that in Lossemouth RNAF base Scotland one rainy afternoon 1969 on 1st day Atlantic Gooney Bird ferry flght to US). Really doesn’t change that much just makes stylistics a lot more the same. And am pretty well known for a style decades now. Well beyond See Dick and Jane or even toss in Spot and Fluffy.

So was awarded all 5 DFC’s before ever saw one and while all look alike that one’s special in mind along with another downgrade Silver Star ( idea was Saigon’d decide our troops are too good so award a lesser for same real justification made them sent along to begin with). Once I was having a gone bad root canal sliced open to remove amalgam floating and constant infection. Up on the Dentists’s wall W Hall Med Center was a DFC for heroism. USAF Accademy grad became a doc. Put in it’s place for a time when near all I knew every day were heros. 8

Night and day. We were the one!

Actually Frank was our St Rep along with Frank Madla St Senator; Dorly worked with Helen, realtor wife. Called S Side Mafia we’d party at neighbor Dr’s pool & wanted $ & votes . Swapped war stories & he said I think it was me leading S Viet Marines that day. Got elected to congress, got terminal illness and was gone. VA Clinic’s named after. Madla died in Xmas candle fire disaster with little girl and Hellen we see working to rescue S San School dist from graft and politics. 24 July ’66 was submitted as Silver Star but downgraded in Saigon as DFC for Heroism. Not too much shade difference but other 4 were just Extraordinary Achievement. Think was 40 meters away and 50′ below tree level got it passed finally. I had 8 X 50’s and other ship 4X 20s and we’d bang off few as we could until Winchester ( tha’s all folks code) and finally all across the 50 meter wide open on way to the beach with Cruiser covering then Big guns of no use troops in contact. Interesting day as real msn was dive bombing at N VN coastal choke pt Dong Hoi and had schitt shot out at us by 37MM first until stores expended. Just on way home & volunteered when call came on Guard Freq. Got an 1 Corp HQ msg thanks. Medal came well over a year Nov ’67 and awarded all by myself( usually that much calls for parade ) down in Command Post Shaw AFB SC with other 4 DFC’s, Purple Heart and Commendation Medal plus final 13 Air medals . Took about as long as rescue just lots safer. 8

But I also let a rumpled seedy fatigues Jarhead 2nd John set at my lunch table DOOM ( Danang Officers Open Mess ) in July next year. Told me with that 1000 meter stare “I’m embarrassed , Sir,” A Capt then, “but last week was ranking Jr NCO all officers killed up by DMZ. Handed me some big gold bars and I don’t have an idea how to act. ” I stood and saluted him as best man Id met that day. Hope he made the rest of tour. Flew with lotza Gyreen F-4s and supported troops in contact really deep in the real war. Got to rescue 105 one sunny aft at 50′ along tree line HI way 1 at Hue. Over and over out of guns just jet blast each let 10-20 scuttle on over asphalt to the 1 mile away coastal landing craft. Just about hottest hour my entire life and was AFTER bombing up North VN on way home with unused 20MM. Talk dumb and stupid! Thinkin of that 2nd John. As life went on we think my once local C’man Frank Tejada was the 2nd Lt that day. Its a funny life! 8
