They can't afford to fix it .
When I was a kid this B-17 was in p e piece . Some where there is a picture of my dad as a kid standing in front of this in the late 1940's . If you bought a tank of gas you got a token to go up the stairs and into the Bomber . _________________ Ever notice in life occasionally you'll come across somebody you never should have fucked with ?

Only in America would you find a WW2 Bomber mounted above a gas station Only in America would you find a roadside attraction like that Probably just some guy trying to make a living in his little gas station business And it worked !!! I bet all his kids lived the American Dream Jump ahead many years and only in America will you find the nostalgia War-Bird Guys ..... Trying to preserve the goodness in that man's heart as he tried to run a business that would feed him and his family You cannot find that stuff anywhere else on the face of this earth Long live America. Long live The American Dream |

One of my favourite lines to use for a laugh:
We can all hang out and tell each other lies about how rich and famous we: ***Think we are ***Think we should be ***Wish we were ***Lied about most of our lives ***(...fill in the blank...). Posing, to a limit... is part of just having fun.

I don't have any friends, but if I did I would be glad to call Gary one. It's hard to find good men of character and Gary fits the bill. Gary fits into a generation of men I respect.
