Damn ESD - We're frickin twins. LOL  Excellent pix

The only difference is that you'll never catch me posting a high school picture of me.  Man you're a bold dude.  I'm almost positive I smoked a few doobs with you in the past.

ESD- LMAOROFPMP!
Dude- I Take those pics! Only now the badasses have piercings & green hair,and wear studded jeans. I pray they stay away from magnets. And they're called low-lifes, not hippies. I do believe this fall I will bring "Hippie" back into High school vernacular. That photo ROCKS!

On the other side of my life... That nursing home that in effect killed my Dad had the nerve to send my Mom a bill for January. (he was admitted into the hospital on Dec. 31)
For those of you who have seen the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka, I want to write them a letter and say only this:
"You Stole Fizzy Lifting Drinks, So You GET NOTHING"
See if they write back. heheh.

I feel bad that they're remaking that movie.  They should leave well enough alone.  I can't see where they could improve on that masterpiece.  It's like redoing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or something.  Why mess with it for a buck.

If you could see me with my hair and military jean jacket with the sleeves cut off and a peace sign around my neck you'd shoot me.  Heck, I'd shoot me.  I went through my Disco Stu era too.  I don't know what my wife ever seen in me.  Sheesh!

George W. (WONKA) Bush?

That nursing home stole my Dad's 'fizzy lifting drinks.' They get nothing.
... nothing but a law firm sniffing in their closets, that is.

Ain't nothing wrong with being a hippie. Mr. Leary will concur.

My son actually met Timothy Leary.  He was a good friend of the parents of his once upon a time girlfriend.

ooh- but DUDE! The W.W. is gonna be Johnny Depp! Even in my atrophic state of age, I (as a woman) can still appreciate Johnny Depp.
He holds that mysterious, attractive, distant, unattainable,intellectual bad boy look that women deny, but intrigue them nonetheless.

Well then, there you go! OT's son approves of willy wonka.

I'm not sure if he "approved" of Mr. Leary.  He was just part of the package back then.

Hey KT, were you up in Ely during that -50 degree night a few nights ago?  I was thinking about you.  We usually went up every MLK weekend because the kids had the day off and we could celebrate Xmas with Gramma (always spelled that way) Ely.  Well she died this past November so we decided not to go up this year.  I always wondered why we picked the coldest time of year to go to the coldest spot on earth.

I think it might have been for the fun sliding down Big Dutch.

I still get the Echo to this day.  Have even been in it a few times.

CM!!!!!! OMG!!!! You knew about Big Dutch!
I got a black eye when I was 7 on that hill. There was little dutch, too, but it was steeper, and much shorter. When I was older, (and stupider) we would slide down the other side of the golf course, towards Lucky Boy road right down the sand pit cliffs. Egads- It's a wonder none of us were ever buried. I climbed the WELY radio tower once, too. ...and the water tower... and the ski jumps at Hidden Valley. I should be dead. Did you ever go down into "open pit" before they filled it with water?

OT- That was a tongue-in-cheek comment. heh.

CM- I wrote a column in the Echo. hmm- back in '77, or '76.

Oh- no, I wasn't up there during that cold snap. My Mom opted to have the memorial service this summer, when travel & lodgings would not be a problem.

Too cool KT - I figured you would know about all that stuff.  You sound like you did the same things us idiots did as well.  My younger brother almost made it to the top of the tower.  We were scared to death that he was gonna fall.  We all did the old water tank though.  That was cool.  My Grandma lived 3 houses down from there on Chapman.   You mention sliding down the back side - My brother and I had probably the most death defying jump over that road in our toboggan.  We landed so hard on our tail bones that we couldn't catch out breath for a couple of minutes.  Once we were able to breathe, we were then OK to cry our eyes out because we slammed into a tree on the other side of the road and bashed our heads together.  We looked back at our tracks and noticed that we cleared the whole road and then some.  That story comes up anytime someone says they're in pain.

"You think that's pain, lemme tell you a story"

Are you talking about the pit behind the Rock Crusher?  I never seen that one without water but I somehow remember the open pit mine without water in it like there is now.  That's where they have the fireworks right?

I wrote a column in the Echo. hmm- back in '77, or '76.How cool is that?  Do you still get the Echo?  What was your column about?  It's really a neat place up there huh?  Nothing else like it as far as I'm concerned.  Unfortunately the rich tourists are starting to notice the area and turning it into a hot spot even though it's cooler than hell. 

No CM not for a long time that was then this is now.

Same here. That's why I can talk about it now.  Been there, done that.  I don't think the kids use the word hooch anymore tho.  Kinda sad. That was a fun word.

I spent an interesting evening in Ely in August of '62.  Wish I could remember the name of that bar.
