We have a nearby playground with just that toy. It is nice, indeed.

Those have been around a while. Yeah, first time I saw one, my first
thought was why the hell didn't someone design that when -I- was a
kid... And yes, I had a go with it... G

They were popular in Germany when I was a soldier there in the early
70's. The chaplain roped me into helping with his orphanage project

Never pass up the opportunity to acquire a toy. You need one with
tracks.

My oldest uncle would wade the bays all day with nothing but cigars
and drinking water chasing reds, but complained he was too old and
hurt too bad to walk his rice fields shoveling levees. For a while,
he ran those two wheel drive motorcycles with the tractor treads,
shovel in a scabbard. Then he wised up and got a little John Deere
with the wedge steel wheels and a tiny backhoe. Look maw, no shovel!

It used to be all a sportsman needed was an old pickup truck and a little

monster trucks and brand-new shiny boats showing up at the fishing holes.

They were about a mile upwind from the Northwestern, and lit off a few dozen

was sure nervous for a while there, thinking UFOs.

dock okay, then was taken by the wind to the other shore, quite a distance.
Along the way, I did more 360's than an ice skater. It took every ounce of

Last time I saw Kemah (5 years ago?), it had grown so crowded

Try taking your sail boat a half mile through the bush to take your
twelve year old son fishing in a lake teaming with 2-3 pound big mouth
bass. 6 AM to Noon he caught eight of them, some of which I had to
practically go on shore to get out of the water. Paddling back to the
landing, I had a hell of a time steering the 12 foot canoe until I
took the stringer of fish out of the water - those damned fish didn't
want to go the direction I wanted to go!

More like 65 kilos I think :). Still use it once in a while up at June

Been all over there. The ferry boat Thornton was named after a friend of
mine's grandpa. Owned two bars in Galveston. Had some memorable summers
there. The beachhouses in Bolivar, as well as West Beach hold some fond
memories, too. Fished all over that area, around the jetties, on the piers,
in boats. Floundering in the flats was a hoot. Is that old historic
lighthouse still on Bolivar?
