The one thing that I found amazing. Last week I went to my Chiropractor and he suggested that I look into a setup called Silver Sneakers which is a discounted gym membership and perhaps grouping for us moth ballers, I'm not sure. Anyway, that was just him telling me that on my way out the door and I honestly had never heard of it up until then. Now comes the scary part. When I got home I signed onto this site and without any other mention anywhere about it there was an ad for, yup, Silver Sneakers. Coincidence, I wonder!

I know seniors that qualify for Silver Sneakers . They work out at LA Fitness and Planet Fitness. They advised me Silver Sneakers pays for their membership.

She will notice when the suitcase is over the 50 lb weight limit and she has to pay the surcharges. Actually speaking of flying I’ve been impressed with the very well behaved dog a girl took with her on a flight I was on and the dog never made a sound during the flight with the dog in the little carry on bag the girl had.

My great grandma used mothballs a lot as well. Whenever we stayed with them in Florida the sheets & pillowcases always smelled like mothballs and when I catch a whiff of the smell today I think of my great grandparent which I don't mind at all they were wonderful people.

Seems like it was a "thing" back then. (My grandparents and my mother use to put mothballs in the off-season clothes closets.) I hated the smell and refused to use them. Found better alternatives, like cedar, for example. But then I stopped even using that years later. Rarely had any sort of moth problem, so didn't bother.

Doggie "downers". (Medicated pup ;)). Can't say for certain, as every pet is different, but many pet owners will get a mild tranquilizer prescription for pets when they travel.

We flew from Hawaii to Guam and then straight to Bien Hoa. I spent a lot of time eating. I had four days to kill in San Francisco before I had to leave. It wasn't planned at all we were supposed to have a weeks worth of M-16 / M-60 machine gun training. It only lasted one day and then they said, we could stay on base or go into SF. I figured I was going to be spending more than enough time hanging around with military people so I opted to go into the city. I didn't bring much money with me to begin with so, for two days before my flight left San Francisco I was broke. I walked to the USO from the hotel I stayed in and ate nothing but candy bars from there until I finally got on the plane and got food service. Every 10 feet along the streets someone was begging for money. It got to the point when they came up and asked if I could spare a quarter I replied, I was just about to ask you the same thing. I have no idea how long the flight took, I didn't even look at my watch. All I remember is stepping outside the plane in Bien Hoa into what felt like an oven and asked if I could get back on the plane and head back to Vermont. It was in October. I should have guessed that they would say no. On the plus side I got to watch the NY Mets win the 1969 World Series on a tiny screen, black and white, rabbit eared, TV in my room.

Oh how I remember the same getting off the plane and the heat/ humidity and the smell in the air.

It was something the we got used to, but that initial blast was something one doesn't forget right away. The thing that kinda humors me a little based on todays obsession with germs (pandemic excluded) was that I can remember drinking water that had some very weird bugs floating around in it. And that was from the "bubblers" on the base. Had to take a chance though you couldn't drink warm beer 24/7.
