Yeaaaaaaaaaaay!

Same players, different day!

Gotta love it, the three digit days are back... 107 yesterday. Kinda reminds me of Kuwait. The white whale has been spotted at North side Pool. That is a joke in its own sense. North side Pool was built in the 1930's by the WPA and named on its location in the city. Tucson has grown and sprawled out so much that “North side Pool” is probably better described as mid-town at best. For the record, its in Himmel Park. Back in the early 70's Himmel Park was famous (or infamous) for Hippy Hill...AKA the Tucson Drug Supermarket. A few years back, the pool was totally refurbished. Gone are the high dive that probably contributed to my fear of heights. The “Hippy Skum” have dwindled down to a hard-core cadre of homeless bums who moved towards the Downtown area. I will say, anybody who wants to be homeless in Arizona is either tough or stone cold crazy.

No news on Pvt Marshall yet. (Robber) I am surprised that the gentlemen in the Smokey bear hats did not make them write home on day 1. I guess its a new Army. These lucky troops now do not have to shine boots. Damn, I remember sneaking my boots on Fire-Guard to try to meet Drill Sergeant Monroe's high standards of boot shine. Guess I was in the “Black Boot Army.” Things have gone full circle. The old NCO's, when I was a pup, used speak fondly of the “Brown Boot Army” and that we were all candied asses. I am sure the “lifers” training Robber are the pups that Guys like SFC Miller and I raised.

Well, till next time:
