HAPPY FRIDAY ONCE AGAIN SPEAKIES,
As always, Joey Z is stopping by not only to wish you a great Friday, but a happy weekend to share with, family, friends or whomever. I always try to keep my posts on Friday short so let's see what we celebrate today.
RUBBER ERASER DAY - I've worn-down many of those erasers at the pencil's end in grammar school. I'm also including those erasers we purchased that were half pencil and half ink. I know you remember those too. Since high school, I don't think I ever erased anything again, although there are some people I would like to.
BELL BOTTOMS DAY - Bell bottom jeans and dress pants were worn by many Guys and Dolls back in the late 1960's and early 70's. As I remember they were not allowed on the base where I was stationed in the Air Force for some reason. Upon discharge, this writer purchased his first pair of bell bottom jeans, grew hair longer just to enjoy the fad.
NATIONAL READ A ROAD-MAP DAY - Personally, I have no sense of direction. If you put me on a boat in the ocean and told me to make land in the Caribbean, I'd probably windup in the Arctic.
Roe has directional sense, her favorite comment is, "we are not lost, but a out of the way at the moment." That wife of mine can get us back on track like Nomads can find an Oasis in the desert.
DANDELION DAY - Yes, Guys and Dolls they are edible as a salad. To me they always will be weeds end of story. Have a great one.

Joe, coming home on 3 weeks leave, I had hitched rides on MAC planes as far as Hawaii where I finally got stuck and had to buy a ticket. I got lucky and got an American Airlines flight nonstop from Hawaii to JFK with only me and three Japanese guys on a 727. In my carry on ditty, I had a pair of bell bottoms and "civvie" shirt. The stew was a sweetie and let me change in the rest room. For the first time in two years I felt like a person again instead of a "MIL-SPEC" number. And as they told me on "day one" I can still remember that number and bet you can too.
