when I got outta the ARMY in 72 I bought a new Dodge Van,and set out to visit every state in the US includin Alaska, Could not drive to Hawaii of course,and did just that, While in Colorado I visited the Coors plant,and drink some Coors that had never been warm,the way it was supposed to be, And WOW!! was that good, So I was headed back south and at the time you could not get coors south
of the Mason Dixon line, so I bought 20 cases of coors and put it in my van, along with 1lb red and green wrapper, 2 sheets Mr.Natural,100 hits orange sunshine,1 0z of pink rock..and was headed to panama sc.I found the phone number,Of a little sweetie I had camped with a couple weeks earlier in the smokies,stopped at a pay phone and called her, asked if she wanted to go to South America with me,She agreed and wanted me to come and get her, YUP!! she lived in CoCo beach Florida!!!!So I headed to florida, I was not hitchin soooo I figured I was OK!! Drove all night with some help from my friends,across LA.into Ala.and Florida, shortly into florida I saw a state inspection station, well I kept goin,state trooper chased me down,for not stoppin, I didn't know!!was my excuse,asked what I had in the van, NO I didn't tell him EVERYTHING, but I could not nor did I try to hide the Beer!! YUP!! BUSTED for bringing illegal alcohol into florida!!! Took all my Beer!!! and I had to pay a 1200.00 bond or go to jail then they would find the rest of my stash!! paid it a left the state right then and flew my sweetie to New Orleans, never been back to florida!!
Hi 601. Just about every guy I knew back in the day had a story to tell about being stuck in the South at one point or another and being seriously harassed because of his long hair. I thought I had it bad when my friends and I were stuck in Gilroy CA for five hours before getting a ride out. We hippies loved to travel by thumb.
BTW-- nowadays you wouldn't have any trouble getting some with a bald head. I know plenty of fine women who love that look.
well don't have what I used ta but I ain't bald, still lookin good!!

Hi 601. Good to hear! A man's confidence in his own sex appeal is a major attraction at any age.
When I look at pictures of myself from back in the day I almost want to weep for that pretty girl who, alas, is no more. But, I am humbly grateful to the universe that I still get my share of male attention, especially considering I will be 60 in three weeks.

Ron...I'm on my 4th new van in the past 16 years...Hated the 2 Fords, front brake pads had to be replaced every 18,000 miles, transmissions, front and rear A/C were a problem...Traded in my Chevy Express 1500 8 passenger with 156,00 miles on it for a 2011 same...Never spent a dime on the Chevy except for brakes at 120K...Had a buddy with a Dodge Van!...We drove from Houston to Austin to chase a couple of cuties one Friday summer night at 100 miles an hour most of the way back in 76...Loved that Dodge van!...Wish they still made them...Week-end trips with three couples in the Chevy half ton are still a lot of fun though!

Hi Glenn, I will be the magnificent age of 60 on April 20. Thanks for asking.
Two days later my youngest son is getting married. The wedding is in Manhattan. We are flying in from the Bay Area, CA. I have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for.
I am glowing. But truthfully, what has put the biggest smile on my face lately is listening to Alvin Lee almost 24/7 over the last 6 weeks.
BTW-- "On the Road to Freedom" has some exquisite songs. I think you will appreciate them much more now. YouTube has some wonderful videos of Alvin and Mylon. I never even heard of Mylon before 6 weeks ago.

Re: The 2011 Florida Statutes
Congratulations to you and Janet, Glenn. There are few things in life sweeter than the first year of marriage. Lots of arguments, lots of fun times making up.
I would be honored if you start your celebration on my birthday, and I will be sure to raise a glass to you and Janet on April 26.
