"Don't bash us kiddies. There is not near enough money in the monthly check for our weed habit."

LOL! There's a lot of truth in that. Most of my fellow Baby Boomers despise me. I went to Ft. Leonard Wood for some training during my early thirties and became more like our fathers (and like a few of the older Baby Boomers--those enlisted types with combat specialties in Nam--those who did not get high).

My brother turned to beer after his second tour. He was sent to Germany off and on for a total of 16 years as a Warrant in a tank outfit. I haven't had a case of beer in my entire life. It's been a lot of years since I smoked pot. Maybe back in 1976?

I can still identify that smell after all those decades, however. I'd take it up again, I suppose. The ultimate in healing sore muscles, eh?

Nothing like getting a little dramatic, almost 9.5 million boomers served in the military, it was our last great, warrior generation.
