    Drove thru tain of a hunnert dozen mofos from Gainesville GA to the indigenous shipper in 'Bama.

    All along those twisty two-laners GA loves so much.

    I got one piece of baked ziti left, and two sets of clean socks and skivvies.

    It's time to go home.....

    I drove down there once. Reminded me of the roads in the PNW. Jakes on and drifting through the chicanes.

    (“French Indo-China”.. Names change, regimes change, politics and kjungle growth prolifirate.

    Yes. May have been something to do with my MOS and the Agency not getting a lot of 3 year volunteers. I had extended 6 months in the PI and taking a 90 day early out as NOT going to stay in. Was a last gasp to keep hold. Had no reserve duty as the only place to use me was Ft Holilbird , MD. Not financial expedient to move me and wife/child to MS, then to MD for ?? duty, then back to MS. home. One of the army's more reasonable and logical decisions then.
    With longue in cheek and all sorts of disclaimers, we old hands from the 9th USASA Field station offer this...

    "Ballad of the ASA"


    Drunken Soldiers, Always High
    Dropouts from old Sigma Phi
    Men who ######## all the way,
    These are the men from the ASA



    Plastic cans upon our ears,
    We've been cleared and
    we're not Queers
    One Hundred Men will test today,
    But only three make the ASA


    Trained to go from bar to bar,
    That's the life that’s best by far
    Men who drink will seldom fight,
    And the ASA drinks through
    the night



    On a Mid, a Trick Chief waits,
    Four of his men are coming late
    Men who drink among the best
    Another drink, their last request



    A teal blue scarf 'round
    my son's neck
    Makes my son a nervous wreck
    One hundred men re-upped today,
    But not a one from the ASA



    Black is for the night we fear,
    Blue the water we don't go near.
    WHITE IS FOR THE FLAG WE FLY,
    Yellow is the reason why.



    Red is for the blood we've shed.
    As you see, there is no red!
    One hundred men re upped today.
    Not a one for the A-S-A!

    But, GA used to have a slanted curb on lots of it's old 2 lanes. Made that water run down the hillside in the roadbed, not the terrible erosion problem. IA had them also on 218 from Keokuk up to 30 at Iowa City. Nice when iced over, just hook the R steer tire up against it and R drive outside dual would push away and you could go for miles not steering. Where Musk got the self driving idea I think.
