That was a good movie, Rev.

Side story; that you'll appreciate. A real life Douglas Character:

I just visited an old work-related acquaintance last week; first time in 50 years. Pipe line welder, and truly a tough dude. I had been telling this story to people for 50 years, and I just had to verify that it was indeed true...so as not to slander said Dude.

We were in his heavy duty welding rig, and had visited the Welders Union on Airline in BR; and had turned onto Florida Blvd. and was in line in the left turn lane right by the old Bon Marche Mall. A truck in front of us kept hesitating to pull out and make the u-turn, and passed up quite a few opportunities to do so. My Buddy - who did NOT suffer fools at all - said "Okay...", and put the gear down in double low...and proceeded to push the truck out into the lane. The Guy in the truck freaked, as most would. My Dude pulled onto the side curb after making the u-turn, and just turned off the ignition, saying "well, I know he's going to want to whup my arse...so...". Your's Truly did not comment that it was no way that anybody but someone like my Dude...would undertake that.

This is one story of the which there are many. Guy is now a Christian, 86, and pissed that Biden has probably "retired me". He had an Inspector's job lined up on the Keystone Pipeline. I told him he had really affected me in my youth; he reacted "I would have never known that".

Maybe I'll tell some more of these stories. Only in America.

Need to write them down.

I've done this with my father, who I love and admire dearly. He's older now, most of his friends have passed. Rugged knows when he's called home, I intend to celebrate his life with a light hearted roast of a man who is greater than I'll ever be.

Unfortunately, my family likes the idea, and my wife and daughters have decided what is good for the goose...

They'll lead with the time I shutdown all ground traffic at Memphis International.
