    one sad and one funny I noticed at Cheaha. This past weekend. Sad one first. Some previous camper cut chunks out of the picnic table at the camp site I used. Funny one. Lots of lightning so I looked our of my tents window to see if my car or a nearby tree had been hit. I see a guy walking across the road. No rain gear in the pouring rain. He fills a container at the spigot. He goes back across the road. He could have just stuck his arm out of his tent while holding the container and he would hav…

    Now I can open two windows on my computer and give more details and see what I am replying to. Jeans; i typically just take a pair. I wound up needing them this past weekend. Otherwise i wore a pair of Dickies shorts, probably too heavy for hiking. Underwear; I go through underwear. Toilet paper, always zip locked. I think I have a micro poly shirt, got it on sale. I would have to look through my stuff. Shirt, not short. the gloves are to protect my hands. I have two baseball caps, one is orange…

    I'll have to use my computer to reply to most of this. Most of that is beyond my means to pay fore. The clothes I mean. Some bran things I have to avoid due to my 'roids. Most apricots contain sulphur dioxide which is a laxative for me. It also is an industrial pollutant. Pepto. tabs don't last. I have to use the liquid.

    I remember a sailor off another ship who we saw with his buddies in an Italian restaurant in Naples, Italy order a pizza. We told him it had multiple layers he ordered any way, just for himself. He ate only one piece of layers and said he was full. Moma, owner of the place with her husband, came out of the restaurant and yelled at him. She refused to let any one else help him eat it. Instead of asking for something to take the rest with him, he asked for a doggie bag. She yelled, "are you saying…
