Ya notice no one has any dun-laps! Time it takes time to built those overlaps. We were all thin as fence post back weren't we.

It was really an honor and great to talk to you. The guy next to me with glasses is the one I posted about a while ago who had the incounter with gun tubs, a mine and piano wire one week. I don't know why he's the only one who looks happy. Maybe no one ever told him about Way. [must have thought we we at Hue pronounced Hew]

My old man drove a truck in WWII for the USAAF. Lots of stories about being strafed and shot at by snipers, but also lots of stories about crates that "accidentally" fell off the back of the truck and the contents were distributed amongst the front-liners. Stuff like whiskey, cigars, nylon stockings (used for bartering for services with the indigenous female population), cigarrettes, etc.
