    Random Thoughts

    There I was. Laying on my back part way under a small trailer trying to tighten up a couple of bolts. I started looking up at the sky and saw the moon against the clear blue. As I lay there, I started to wonder.

    How often did those men who left earth for the moon stop to think if they were buying a one way ticket ?.

    I have been known to take a few chances, BUT , I don’t think I would have the nerve for that.

    Truly , great and brave men.

    Without question.

    Had I been given the chance, I would have signed up without a thought of the dangers--with no thought of being a hero--it would have been purely selfish on my part. What a rush

    I've thought about that more than anything else I think. What a hell of a way to say goodbye!, so to speak.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    Still want to go retrieve the lunar rover. Thinking how much that vehicle would be worth on today's market as a prized object.

    Yo Bo, you're starting to talk like " Sleepy Joe " I may have to rethink my 2020 support.

    No, no...We need your financial help to fight this uphill political battle...And as Bo's campaign manager I need my reasonable 30% cut because I can't always catch a ride to Aruba in Wayne LaPierre's jumbo jet......Ben

    Every now and then I will look at one of your posts---just to see if there is any change---to date that has not happened.

    Are you ever going to grow up and stop being jealous of others, or are you just going to continue posting your childish dribble?

    I don't have time to worry about who is or is not wealthy. I now have collected $ 3.47 for the 2020 run and am worried about how I am going to dispose of it if I remove support from Bo. Bet bet would most likely to just send it to Ben and let him worry about the tax problem.

    Yes just email cash only to Phillbo Campaign C/O Truckman, and I'll see it's properly disposed of in an orderly, ecologically sound manner......Ben
