5 miles There--3 miles Home

Summers in Riverside 45 years ago were spent on a Schwinn Deluxe Stingray with a banana seat and sissy bar. A bicycle to all others. Fire red!!!

3 times a week we were going to Arlington Park to swim and to hang out with the guys. We would always go a different way each time to make sure we were not a boring group of guys. The morning swim was the best and it was only .25 cent. The diving board was pretty cool not as good as the one at La Granada pool. Most of the older, rich kids went to swim at that pool. It cost a lot of money to get into La Granada--.50 cents. After the swim we would ride to dairy queen for a .15 cent ice cream cone. The trip there was always 5 miles or more with stops at places of mischief. The trip home was always 3 miles because lunch was on the table.

Looking back I think parents were smarter then-- . 40 cent and you could get rid of your kids for most of the day. All summer long!

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:thous hast made summer and winter. Psalms 74:17

In a Can

They say that the average kid eats 1500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before graduating from High school. WOW!!!
Remember when you would get out the white Wonder bread, the Skippy peanut butter and the jelly grandma made???
Today in 2010 to make a PBJ you would just pop the lid. Get one candwich and its good for one year. What is the world coming too.

Explore. Dream. Discover

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

A day at the beach

Our family dress up in black shirts and blue jeans and went to take picture at the beach.

Here is two of the pictures

Don't take the Bus!

After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.

I have seen those bars along the road in Kenya. Just out in the middle of nothing. I took this picture of a truck that was at one of these bars! TOO much to drink that day! Watch the driver the next time you get on the bus---cause you might end up like one of their trucks or worse yet in a metal hospital. It just might do some of you some good!
