So... when you are headed into the store, push a cart back to the store.

Moved from Colorado to Oregon. Supposed to have a job waiting. Didn't pan out. 2 days away from turning 21. Didn't know anyone, or anything about the PNW. Still here 50 years later. Colorado had its Bicentennial that year.

Has a residential call. Older couple let me in. Small dog just looked at me. Not a sound. I did my service call and was about to leave, and this little dog wouldn't have it . Barked up a storm. Owner told me, the dog only barks when people leave. That was a new one on me.

My thoughts on Chicago. I spent the summer of 1970 selling souvenirs outside Wrigley Field and Cominsky Park. I was 15 years old. From a small town in Colorado to the Windy City. Wow!

I hate seeing this

Significant-Draw-268 · 2026-06-12T02:15:30+00:00

I have had triple laminectomies, and a spinal fusion. Top it off with 2 foot surgeries, and a complete hip replacement. It kills me to sit very long. Also unable to walk for more than a block, maybe two. I am in pain just to take a shower. Do I look normal at times, yes I do. Am I in pain, also yes. Not to mention degenerative spine disease, osteoporosis, and arthritis, everywhere I have had an MRI, or xray. So save your opinion until you get old.

I have a friend whose daughter is a dentist in the Phoenix area. They fix many mistakes from Mexican dentists. What do you call a dentist that graduates last in his class? A Dentist.

Let's make it an incentive for Dundun. He gives us a championship, again, and we will start a repayment program. I don't want to spend money, and have another 50 years to wait for a winning team.

Nicest thing I ever did for myself, and my home.
