Thanks Patriot, you gotta admit I don't look bad for being 237 years old. Born in 1775 at Tun Tavern . Went to Houston over the weakened to celebrate our B-day with my ol Nam buddy Krazy Karl (if you had seen him on the "giving " end of a M-60 machine gun you would know why we call him Krazy Karl ). Drank the American Legion in Crosby out of beer and had to move on to Charlie's Ice House Bar in Highlands. Thought I saw MsBear there but it might have been a case of mistaken identity. Now to gear up for my beloved Platoon commander from Pa who gets here late this afternoon to spend the next 5 days. No doubt we will drink copious amounts of cold beer. Hell, I might let ol Teresa come to Longton to meet ol Scar so she can see a genuine hero  instead of us wanna be's like ol Sarge -------and me.
