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 .

as you might guess being patriotic is the uncool thing to do when socialism is on the rise.

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

I would love to some day Gary ... eat a mess of bacon and eggs (all the pork bellies a man could ever want) ... then I would be on my way again.

I would never bother you for anything else

'cept to say I actually met you ... and I Am STILL alive !!!!!!!!

I know in whom I trust

Thank you for defending what is good.

I work for the phone company .
I'm on divorce number four .
I have nothing .
My life is and has been a train wreck .
And I'm majorly full of shit.

I would be honored to sit down and break bread with you Sir at any time .
They have the best omelets at the bomber .

All I'm saying is that I'm not as cool as others are on here and I sure as shit ain't as cool as I think Arnie thinks I am .
I'm a poser .
That's all .

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.

Wish you could find your way to SanDeigo, I am sure All_In John would put you on the caravan to BD's... just because you are a :wol

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.
