"Oh those were the days my friends", we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance, forever and a day,
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
Oh those were the DAYS"
And those words from a popular song of the 70's, I think, if I remember right, came to mind when read a similar quote , In Ye Ole So popular " Lwp Boxing Ring " tonight..
I remember the fun times with friends at the San Luis beaches with wine and music.. Pounding out eco belts in Spokane with wine and music, Arizona parties with W & M.., Baja beach parties with W & M.., and on and on..
Tough times in camps high above the tree line out West..with NO W & M.. locating claims in the Great Basin with no WM.. with my dog, Lobo, who cared less about WM.. camping way out,, sometimes stuck with only heli access.. worrying about getting home, always worrying.. Still worrying, but NEVER AFRAID..
Now again.., from stuff outside of course, that threat is obvious, but also from within, where the threat is more insidious,, like against our civil liberties and rights..
I am SO tired of FIGHTING against FIGHTING, on SI, I mean, ... WE will just try to stay above it.. The Assholes of SI, their groupies and their fearful inductees are not worth my emotional energy at this time.. I cared never to have changed minds, but only to express my thoughts and opinions.. which were usually in the minority anyway..
So excepting, of course, a few friends, oh so few friends, but true friends.. I hope I can stay in touch with.. I will say,
Goodbye for now,.. for awhile, anyway..
