I was 12 in 1976, perfect age to enjoy the celebrations everywhere. My old man was a schoolteacher so we spent summers camping and traveling with a pop up camper. We went there, into Boston, D.C. , Gettysburg, and countless other battlefields and Indian mounds type places.
It was glorious.
I ❤ Texas

No, man. If this guy was born in 1964 he is older than 42. That lame duck LBJ was president.Piping Abe wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 5:38 pm42Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 5:26 pmReminds me of the old logic questions on math tests... If Jimmy was 12 in 1976 what year was he born...

It's not Texas, I will tell you that.Piping Abe wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 8:52 pmWhat is North Dakota?

It's completely changed. You wouldn't recognize it. The built-up area has expanded 25 miles in every direction and hundreds of huge apartment complexes have been built. The area where we moved, Humble, in 2005, was at the end of a dead end road with woods all the way to the nearest major road. 2 miles and the traffic was not too bad. We were 35 miles from the center of Houston and about 10 miles from the edge of the heavily populated area. When we moved in 2020, we were surrounded by subdivisions and the traffic was terrible. It took 30 minutes to go the 2 miles to the main road, which was 8 lanes that were usually stopped except for when everyone was racing. There was a fatal accident at least twice a week within 5 miles of our house. On my recent visit, the heavily populated area was 20 miles past our house. Plus, the government has completely gone off the rails and home invasions happened daily. Imagine the population of NJ in one huge, sprawling city.
God and Texas!
