February 29.  

I remember.....





I actually remember February 29, 1964.......as if it happened YESTERDAY! 


I was lying on the floor of my bedroom on the farm and I was writing postcards to Chamber of Commerce(s) in Canada in order to get free booklets and brochures from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick and places....so I could look at all the pictures and dream about Moose hunting and canoes and muskie fishing in the Great White Neighbor to the north.  I always remembered that I was dating my correspondence Feb 29th!!  




WE NOW RESUME OUR REGULAR ( NORMAL ) PROGRAMMING.....

So what peed on your weekend?

Just too busy with soccer (x2) basketball (x1) school auction, neighborhood get together, and end-of-season basketball party.  Not a break.  At least my wife didn't buy anything at the auction.  The best part of the weekend was the open whisky bar at the auction.

I remember that in either February or March in 1964 we had the worst flood in my life time (so far) in the Looneyville area.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

That was so you'd buy something at the auction.

I've had weekends like that. Doing all kinds of fun stuff; it just wasn't the fun stuff I wanted to do.

I have an old friend of mine from Louisville.  Haven't seen him in thirty years.  That's probably a good thing...He's in Florida now....


My bud and I went from Freeport, Texas to Louisville in 1979 to visit his folks, and chase Kentucky women....   Bucky

You were in your 20s when those came out weren't you?
 
My paternal Grandfather was a radar technician in WWII when he was released in late 46 he opened a Hardware store in downtown Jacksonville, FL.  When he died we found a footlocker full of old cameras.
I remember seeing multiple Leicas and Kodaks.  I was only 10 and boy was I pissed when dad gave them all to a second cousin that showed up with his hand out....
