I had kind of an adventurous mother, or I might not have ever done many of the things I got to do. She actually got me into my first (and only) rodeo.

Wait, did you fly in the military?

Yes, but that is a whole 'nother story. Suffice it to say that I still love helicopters, but haven't flown one since leaving the Army, about 45 years ago..

Just roped and tackled a very small calf. I was 8 or 9 at the time. Several adults were standing all around to make sure that neither the calf nor I got hurt.

It's a drug. I talked my wife into quitting teaching, and I quit ECI, and we both went on the road as carneys for 12 years.

I've seen that before, it's the kiddie calf roping event or something like that.

Dang, I had you on a bucking bull for sure.

Nope, I was not allowed to be photographed...... ( I'm kidding.)

Have you ever had Cinnamon Roasted Almonds? We were one of three companies that introduced them to the USA. That was really a fun job, and I learned SO much about people. But..... prices kept going up, and how much can you keep raising the price of a little bag of nuts? We finally sold it back to the original owners. Made a good profit... got four times what we paid for it. But they let hired help run it into the ground within a few years. They are still in business, but they are next to nothing now.

Yeah, lots of missile stuff and guidance systems. We even ran the Gulf war from our parking lot for three days. (It was testing a CentCom Mobile HQ)

Yes, at our state fair, those are good. That's too bad they couldn't run the business, but hey, if you sold it for profit, that's pretty good for you.
