Would any other Monday be so bad?
Couple of favorite columnists, from Florida, Carl Hiassen and Dave Barry. All that’s missing is Tim Dorsey for a perfect “Florida Triad”.
Sunday papers, for me, have long since been replaced by the web. Lance won, the miners are free, and this was a link that raises questions about missiles and the Cold War. One quote I pulled from that article, was this:
\\One set of projections based on CIA estimates, Leebaert writes, “indicated that the size of the Soviet economy would be triple that of the United States by 2000.”\\
I guess 40 years is a long time. What interested me about the article, at one point, in New Mexico, I had a chance to go down to the blast door of an abandoned missile silo of some sort. It was about 200 meters off the highway, and one of my army buddies knew about the site. There was a large, heavy iron plate over the whole, and off to one side, a short set of steps leading down to a heavily fortified – and locked – doorway. Old missile site of some kind. That was 20 years or more in my past.
So I’m Libertarian, and I scored right down the middle on the “Left versus Right” scale. Personally, I think **ALL** these online quizzes are rigged.
My redheaded Cap friend made me go with her to Hippie Hollow Sunday afternoon. I was recalling a time, close to 20 years ago, and I was sure I had been to Hippie Hollow. Once. Close, but where we’d all gone back then was Marshall Ford, not the same place. It was a beautiful day at the lake. Get to the rocky shoreline and strip out of all clothing, plunge in the lake, paddle around. Float on a blow-up mattress for a little while. It’s all good, right?
“Dude, when you dropped your shorts, **everyone** looked.”
“Huh?”
“Never seen an ass so white. You blinded us.”
Nothing sunburned, no problems. Just another day at Lake Travis, as far as I was concerned.
