Got snow here at the home 20... Wife opened the front door then quickly closed it... She turns to me a said "we have horizontal snow!... LOTS OF IT!"
This happened just mere hours after I was persuaded to leave out again a day earlier than planned... I leave in the morning... Smhlovesthedrive and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
This would be during the 60's time era. We as a whole town I think were about 540 kids participating in a variety of basic training like event courses culminating in a big super day shoot out to see which of us were top bears. In a variety of very physically athletic demanding sports which given a few certain situations were a foundation of our military drill for when we entered Basic training from day one.
One required us to carry two cinder blocks 2 miles in 20 minutes. Many years later I had a serious trip right back to those bug bit sunny days wrestling with two modern ammunition containers about that size as part of a certain course of training designed to learn if you ha heart failure or not. If you did you would expected to drop and when stabilized you were quietly eliminated privately so you do not damage anyone not yet through.
And the girls.. they were fit. BMI was normal on all of them on sight. You don'[t need no stinking charts to catch them living a lie or other wise being unnatural about weights. Some ate like horses though which led me to consider into adulthood where food was the primary pleasure source, a form of addiction if you please.
If that was what hurt some fo hem before 16 then I can only ask God to help them through that horrible time. Any number of triggers could hatch something like that.
I remember when air driven tee shirts were the rage in the mall. A extra 20 in a group of friends made a temporarily visual wall against the truants in there long enough for the professional to duplicate your shirt over the female chest stuff up top on one side or the other. If left alone long eough the game is that you needed to get from that end the mall to the other without anyone, particularly lawmen saying so and so is naked again.
We had to stop that little game because it was winding us boys too much way too early before our time and it was not very subtle to try and blend into a crowd of 9 year olds showing no interest in the latest arcade game but followed this little vixen across the mall. Two I know of got caught. What happened to them?"
Now that is a story. Which began with a situation that developed when the officers themselves were intercepted by two pretties from friendly's (Remember those?) and not exactly petted on but paid attention enough that they were not much good for law and order at that point. Being all ruffled and forgetful exactly what happened.
You had to be alive in those days, and we were. Gawrsh it seemed like we got away with flat murder sometimes.Last edited: Jan 15, 2020

This is a pic my wife took... Unfortunately I dont have a before pic of this drift. Some one had tried to plow it open from the other side, but only made it a little way. I was the first one to go through and open the road. On the high side it was 1/4 way up my doors. I drove back amd forth a few times to make a good track for others to follow. It was good fun.
