    yeah, I know, OUR Uncle Al,just playing…

    Happy Birthday U Al, I don’t know how many you have, but you DO sound like almost as much of a curmudgeon as I, so God bless you, and God bless those you love for putting UP with you as well, and I apologize if I read you wrong, but I calls ’em as I sees ’em…

  17. Congratulations on your 70th birthday.
    May you be blessed with good health, old friends and many more years of enjoyment.

    As my dear mother (God rest her soul), told me on her 80th birthday, “Golden years my ass !”

  29. Happy Birthday Uncle Al. You bring a different perspective to many of the topics on this site – I’m not sure if it’s brilliance or dementia. We’ll go with the former; the latter may get you elected to Congress.

    What a blessing to have your wit and wisdom shared here.

  50. I for one am envious of the amazing historical events you’ve experienced during your lifetime.

    Granted, the really exciting parts of the 20th century occurred before you born, but just imagine all the wonderful things you saw and probably no longer have a clear memory of.

    Ladies with hats and gloves shopping downtown. Chrome. People who smoked. I dunno’, probably some inspiring NASA junk….

    My question is this; what, in your opinion was the best decade?

    Also, which character in ‘Stand by Me’ do you most resemble in attitude?

    I for one am envious of the amazing historical events you’ve experienced during your lifetime.

    Not as amazing as my grandparents: consider that they were born in the late 1880s and lived into their 90s.

    Yep. Flying commercial in a DC-3, with men in suits and women with hats and gloves. We owned a 1959 Chevy Impala, sky blue, lovely wings and all that chrome!

    My question is this; what, in your opinion was the best decade?

    Good grief, man! You ask that as though there exists a simple, quantifiable, and unambiguous set of criteria for “best”! I have found much to enjoy all the time. Even U.S. Army basic training in the spring of 1969 had its satisfactions. Theoretically, though, the best decade MAY have been the 1970s because it’s mighty hazy. I don’t remember much due to all the sex and drugs and rock’n’roll.

    Also, which character in ‘Stand by Me’ do you most resemble in attitude?

    Can’t answer; never saw it. Sorry.

    Edit: Correction. Any decade without disco was best.

  59. @Random Read Only Modules:

    What did you do on this date 30 years ago. . . May 9, 1989?

    Funny you should ask! I do remember that birthday. On that date I had a three-hour flight hang gliding along the Tuscarora Ridge near McConnellsburg, PA.

  60. Oh good Lord….give me a moment to traverse the decades separating us.

    Victor Mature vs Tony Curtis. Who wins?

    Also, the correct answer for the Stand by me question is: the junkyard owner.

    You’d think after 10 or 12 years you’d get to know a fellow….

  65. Who cares?

    How did this objective discussion of early American history devolve into some sort of jagged crying binge? You know I scored negative 2.5 on the psychological empathy test, and that scale is strictly a 1 to 10 deal.

    I’m not physically or chemically able to care. I just wanted to get a sense of what America was like before the age of the transistor radio and bell bottoms.

    You cantankerous,cloud shouting, beloved Uncle of mine.
