    Feb 17, 1968..I turned 18. Had a cousin in Nam, at that time (USMC), he was wounded and came home. His twin brothers and I went to enlist in the Marines. They took Wayne, Gary failed because of his eyesignt(real bad eyes) and I failed because of high blood pressure and weight. I went to the Air Force...their Dr put me in a dark room and I laid for about 2 hours. He came in and took my BP...It was fine.

    Wow - it really has been 40 years since I was in Saigon during Tet 68.
    Never thought I'd live this long. These pesky armadillos in Florida
    are worse than the VC - digging holes all over my lawn. Any ideas on the best way to blow them away?
