good talk
My older brother, Bob, was in Las Vegas in 1964, when he was "21" and in the 101st Airborne, he saw Frank Sinatra, Jr., at the "Four Queens," and lost a hundred. The Airborne has always been the most-prestigious part of the Army, and at that time, they were paid two-thirds more. Half of them were Black, as this sounded-good to the Negroes, especially the Southern. The Airborne consisted of the 82nd and the 101st Airborne Divisions, and the last held maneuvers in the Mojave Desert, every Spring, when they would practice a "Battle Jump." And they averaged 1 fatality a year doing this, but one year 5 guys died, and that was the last time for this. I've been to SeaWorld in Aurora, outside of Cleveland, and to SeaWorld in San Diego, a few times, and if they stop the Orca Shows, that'll really gut what they have to offer, as those are a big-reason to go there, and what would a circus be without elephants? Bernard Hopkins read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu (no doubt, a compilation of authors), while at Graterford (not a fine Eastern School, but rather prison), and it changed his life in a positive-way. A whole lot of guys like that book, I couldn't get into-it. ...Announced the singing of... Sports Illustrated goes-in for dirty-language these days, but not so much proof-reading. But perhaps I'm mistaken ...La De Da... to him
