Y'all have been kinda lively there! Hey, can't tell you guys how proud and BLESSED I am to have been married to one of the younger of those last of the breed that delivered under radio blackout and intense secrecy the fuel for all those war planes, tanks, and vehicles. (Merchant Marine-WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War) He passed away in March in my arms at home, a real hero, extra special kind of man. I'll never find one like him, so I'll stay just like I am. There was an age difference but not a mind or values difference. I am so glad we have LL's books to hold on to.
The way Jay adapted to this world was to forge ahead with his plans and stay pretty much a loner. He would tell me the talking heads were saying the same thing over and over, and he was right, and that human nature didn't change, only times. I wish they would teach the youngsters with better movies that had character and substance. Ditto to y'alls comments.
