(Nothing of substance for me to add here… just sayin’.) 🙂

I was stationed in two different places in Texas during military training, and spent a year in high school when my Dad was stationed there. There were some nice people, but they weren’t easy to find.

The reasonable people seem to be from East Texas where they have vegetation and hills.

Steve Bates may be along to tell me I’m full of it, but he should try living in Burkburnett or San Angelo, instead of Houston.

There are pictures that seem to indicate that I was in Australia at least once for an indeterminate amount of time, but I don’t remember anything clearly which I blame on the RAAF crew that was involved. I believe it started in a bar on a Pacific island during a stand down for aircraft maintenance, but things get a bit fuzzy after that point.

Hahahahahaha… Ohhh! I understand that all too well! LOL I saw pic’s of myself and a couple SAS errmmm… *consultants* who were with me, with assorted bruises and contusions in some bar somewhere in Texas with wreckage and bodies lying all around us! I could honestly state at the *debriefing* that I had only vague recollections of the events. I did find out later what happened, but I won’t bore you with details, but it had something to do with a local yokel making fun of out accents and where we were from etc. And the fight apparently broke out when he tried to hit me after I told him we had a Homestead here (Ranch) that was bigger than the village of Texas (Smorgon Homestead in fact). We honestly did not start it! We sure did finish it! LOL. Trying to start a fight with someone with 2 SAS *consultants* is suicidal at best. Suffice to say I am blacklisted in Texas. No loss I’m sure. 😀

If you can get the capital you can control the market. Most of the truly creative people couldn’t get the capital because their idea was too innovative, so they burned all of their own resources getting to market, and couldn’t arrange the additional capital needed to expand at the critical moment.

My Dad was in on the ground floor of guided weapons and stayed around for the ICBMs before he retired.
