Congratulations on a good finish! I've enjoyed reading along with you.

Mark, this may be one that you and I just have to disagree on. In the 1970's I would have agreed with you - college dorms had Confederate flags displayed, the "Dukes of Hazard" had the General Lee car with a flag on it, and displaying the flag was just more of a youthful rebellion thing. But that was almost 50 years ago. Since then, most organizations have realized that the flag is an insult to some folks, especially to African-Americans. We aren't supposed to discuss religion on this site, so I'll just leave you with this link (can't insert a link in the comments, so you have to copy/paste); https://www.baptistpress.com/resource-library/news/sbc-repudiates-display-of-confederate-flag/

I agree about the breakfast pizza! I've also found that some C-stores make lunch or dinner foods including sides that certainly beat eating "junk food."

Casey's breakfast pizza!! We ate a lot of C-store food while touring during COVID and it was our best discovery.

I have an old OMD poster that I am going to frame one of these days. I will text you a picture of it. I like Chicken Train.

I think they are saying they like America and they like the South. I believe most people associate the flag with the South today, not the South 160 years ago. But then that is just my take on it.

1. I'm impressed you have access to these old photos and even more impressed you can find them.
2. Those look like miserable working conditions. Been there and done that and thankful that I will never have to do it again. Retirement is good.

Or maybe thanks to Biden more people are coming to the club and the girls are getting tired, so they need more girls to satisfy the growing (no pun intended) clientele. Probably not. Dang George, your weird thinking is messing up my thinking. Next thing I know I will be talking to my discs while golfing. Oh crap, I already do that. Nevermind.

I had a Minolta myself, I think it was a 101. We take way to many pictures today and do nothing with them. Maybe our kids will go through our computers when we split and look at all the pictures, probably not. That sounds like the makings of a good John Prine song.

It is weird when any woman calls me sugar or darling but especially when they are younger than my daughters. Just stop please.
