    My maternal grandfather served in both The Great War and WWII - his HAM radio moniker was "Retread" in reference.

  16. I suppose you're right. It's not in keeping with the normal manana posture.
  17. How about flag star numbers earlier in the twentieth century? I just played a gig last Friday in Tucumcari for New Mexico's Centennial celebration. and then there's Arizona who didn't take off her indian braids until late.
  18. Take off with your aspersions of makems and fabrications. Goddam tarp stealer, anyways...
