Don't know how accurate that number is, but they are leaving us rapidly. But then, so are the Korea and yes Viet Nam vets. Nature's way I guess, but a lot of lessons learned will die with them.

Brother, out here, you can get arrested for putting dry ice and water in a two liter pop bottle. It makes a pretty good noise. Cops arrested one young fellow for having an "explosive device". If they knew what we did as kids, we'd all be doing life, for having a good time.
