re: Hoover Dam for 250

There's enough concrete to pave a road for L.A. to N.Y. in this dam. At least that's what the tour guide said back in 1967.

re: Jobs You Had as a Kid

Cut neighbors grass during summer as a kid(12-15). Cleaned a theatre for a while, bathrooms, aisles up on the balcony and below. Perk, free cokes. Took a couple of hours, think I got paid 40 for two weeks. Then fill up with Billups, small gas chain around south La. Changed tires, checked oil, pump gas, cleaned windshields and the like. 12h hour shift. One week nights, then a week doing days. My brother and 1st cousin were banging the owners daughters and worked there during hs . Sadly there were no more daughter. Next up was working for an electric contractor who was doin work for BECU. Laborer on a bucket or pole truck, digging holes, we didn’t have an auger. fricking post hole digger was 10’ long, and you had to bury it. Putting up service all over Beauregard and Allen parish and clearing right of ways to enlarge Hwy 10. Underpaid is an understatement. Then my sr year bagged a job at the local liquor store but not until I turned 18. So went to school half day, and worked nights stocking booze, beer, paper bags, bagging ice, checking fuel level, packing liquor from the bosses house and back, cashier, stocking cigarette dispenser. Sucked working weekends, but got 10% of cigs.

Wow, just wow. I remember when this MSB was DAT heavy. Yea, we turned around the program and things spiraled upwards. Ups and downs, but we knew something was brewing. A no hitter on any level is noteworthy

How many no-hitters this year, either single handed or bull pen related? I'll hang up and listen.

We had hot military wives that taught various grades around here growing up. Never heard of any going over the hill with any students, but who knows. Had a cute English teacher that would read stories sitting on a wooden stool with a mini skirt on. Never did get much out of her readings for some reason.
Our locker room and weight room were under the bleachers of the stadium as well as the coach's office and training room. We called it the dungeon.
One of the smartest things I did in my life, and one of the dumbest was to get out. I was just lost and thought the military might straighten me out. It did but took marriage and kids to push me to the see the light. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Got paid to travel the world.

When you're out of Bud, tough Schilitz.
Wonder if that would work for other plants? Asking for a friend.
It's mostly always the landing that gets you when you fly.
We had a station wagon for about 15 years. 6 kids, a dog. We called them grocery getters.
