LOL!
Someone once told me that it was being able to eat your food AFTER it had quit moving and that the military regressed in time to before this milestone with the Traypac and MRE's having the sentient pudding and the living jelly.

Houston's military records show that he was 6 foot 2 inches when he was 19 years old. His Texas legend puts him at 6 foot 6 inches on his death. His family holds that he was a bit shorter.

Well, maybe he grew up late in life. :-)

I think he was just clear-headed enough to see what would happen, he knew the North wouldn't let the South secede and that the South was at a disadvantage militarily.

Morning SCDogPapa. I went through the "Big Cork" phase in my life. Got it out of my system when I was a lot younger. :-)
