My wife had a run in with a cop (long before I knew her). He stopped her claiming her rear license plate was missing. He really just wanted her phone number (he confessed after he confronted him, she did not believe her license plate was missing). Cops are as human as the next person...

Unfortunately, I have not remembered how to tie various types of knots (not a day to day activity for me). So I fall back on the slip knot, square knot and the half-hitch when I do need to make a not (not sure what knot is called for when I tie my shoes).

I know that a lot of states North of Missouri get colder for longer periods of time. The interesting thing is that I knew a woman that moved down from Wisconsin and she said the winters felt colder than when she lived in Wisconsin.

When I retire I hope to be near the Lake of the Ozarks (and close to Branson). I got my Computer Science degree at the University of Missouri-Rolla (Now the Missouri University of Science and Technology). One of the best campgrounds in Missouri (at least 40 years ago) was Johnson Shut Ins. A...

Been to Florida several times, it does not interest me. I lived in Missouri 26 years and still have family there. Aspects of the weather can be brutal (as it can be in most states). Leaving California has to do more with the cost of living (taxes, high gas prices, etc.). On the flip side...

I plan to retire within the next 22 months. And hopefully move out of California. I also plan not to fully retire. Either pickup a part time job or turn my wood working hobby into a money maker.

I am not sure what the reasons are. I was taught at a young age not to litter (ever). I once got scolded by my dad for dropping a small piece of trash out the car window.

I have noticed over the years there seems to be a general lack of respect to other people and their property. It goes from being rude drivers to dropping trash anywhere. I was curious why someone at a store could not put their shopping cart in the designated area one parking spot over instead...

Of course back in the day listening to the FM (and sometimes AM) radio to listen to music. Seems like there was two minutes of commercials for every song.

We are raising two of our grandchildren (long story). Anyhow, hopefully we can teach them enough life skills to excel in this world.

I am originally from Missouri and like a lot a things about the state. Of course I still would annoyed about hearing about it 18 times in a row. Of course local TV has a habit of repeating the same commercials during the time period of one show (sometimes during the same commercial break).

A start of a number of late night conversations. "Honey, are you asleep?" and in your mind "I was".

My daughter was worried that some businesses were opening up too soon some months ago (she is in a high risk category). I explained to her that the government cannot keep supporting people out of work. We need to get them back to work even if they have to take precautions.

I got my first round of vaccination last week. I plan to wear a mask, practice social distancing, etc. for the next several months.

A number of them are. Many of them are conspiracy theorists saying that there is no virus and it is just a way for the goverment to get more control over their life.

I have been told that (at least when I was younger) I looked a lot like another person (who I did not know).

I am a Republican (as a voting status), but I am not an idiot. I am still taking precautions and anxiously awaiting my opportunity to get vaccinated.

A lot of 'movies' on Youtube are just trailers (avoids license issues). There are some streaming sites that have a lot o John Wayne movies free (especially the real old ones). TUBI comes to mind. Seems like there are others. I just bought the Alamo on DVD. Hard to find and a lot more...

I cannot say about other countries. But in ours, there is a disbelief among the illegal immigrants that if they fill out the census, they could be kicked out of the country.

Velveeta as the base for a chip dip can work too. Velveeta and chili as dip.
