Had a vacation in Fiji years ago. The owner of the cottage we stayed at said to throw any scraps (chicken bones, fish heads) into the saltwater pond next to the place and the crabs would take care of them. Great place..
I never planned on SS for income. What comes in now is spent on things I really don’t need but toys are fun. Some day I might own a car that’s not 25 years old but the new ones are just too complicated.
If people saw how much they actually paid in taxes, fees, etc. there’d be another party in the Boston Harbor and that tree would wear the rope.
In the 70’s it occurred to me that if I could ‘adopt’ someone in need, the 30% overhead (then) of govt.bs could be saved...
I never used 50 ft lines. More like 25. Put a ring on the tail of planes with a pull pin on a string so I could launch on my own. Never had a Cox plane but built many. Combat with ribbons was fun.
KSCO 1080. 10KW. Daytime. Longtime home of Rush.
MZ, owner has been harassed and fined for things as idiotic as building a deck behind the station on the lagoon (groundplane) for gatherings. If I recall, he breached a sandbar with a shovel to prevent flooding and caught hell. Been around forever.
I miss KFAT. PIG evolved from FAT. It’s more like devolved.
One of the last times on Pacific Ave. was to have my Mom’s jeweler appraised after she died. It used to be fun in the 70’s but there is no reason to go there now unless you want to be aggressively panhandled. The lowlifes don’t ask anymore. They demand.
A FRiend used to live a few blocks from the final of runway 8 at Reno Stead. End of the street, a couple of lawn chairs and a cooler made for a great day at the races. He’s now on ‘broil’ north of Dallas.
