    The best movie ever made (IMHO) - RIP Robert Redford

    RIP Robert Redford not only a great actor but a great person that did lots of good. Established the Sundance Festival. Not sure they make them like him anymore. Nobody mentioned but The Way We Were with Barbra Streisand was a great movie that captured so much of the times and so much we lost...

    I’m A Liberal Who Loves Hunting. Allow Me To Change Your Mind

    When asked I say I am a progressive or Social Democrat. I am far left. I've carried a gun and made a living with guns for most of my life. I'm a former wildland firefighter, a Certified/Commissioned LEO, a big game guide in northern New Mexico. I carried my SKS brought back from VN on horseback...

    Hello from New Mexico

    Welcome from a former New Mexican. I lived up in the Chama/TA area. Strange as it may seem to some, I was an LEO and most of my friends from that former life were the outlaws. I was there last 4th of July after getting out of Minneapolis VA hospital for Agent Orange throat cancer. Local folks...

    "GO HUNTING NOW WHILE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE!"

    I never had the money, until late. I never really took care of myself, I guess a near death experience in SE Asia kinda' said live while you can. And I did, really did. Couldn't stand being cooped up, worked outside and on my feet all my life. Outlaw, wildland firefighter, LEO, surveyor, bar...

    VA Medical Care

    A VSO is vital to getting your claim. When the VFW VSO here in Udon started work with me, I knew immediately he wasn't going to help. I went shopping for a good one. Luckily one of the Marines in our little group did the work and then some and became a VSO and a damn good one. The good ones know...

    VA Medical Care

    An example of private care: Back in Texas I always went for a checkup at employee health when I returned from a one month millionaire visit to Thailand. A blood test showed a liver problem. I was sent to a private doc/clinic. The doc said you have a cyst/tumor on your liver. Oh great. He said...

    VA Medical Care

    At one point in time the VA in New Mexico had a system that worked well for rural patients, which were more than likely well over 50%. I was one. The VA at that time contracted with local clinics, not private doctors or clinics. For some reason, although we had 2 good clinics in my area they...

    VA Medical Care

    I recently spent 8 months in Minneapolis VA for Agent Orange caused throat cancer, complete laryngectomy (much to some folk's delight), and no other VA facility before. I can only attest to what I saw. Excellent doctors and care. Up to date cancer treatment. I have a new "throat" to swallow...

    "GO HUNTING NOW WHILE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE!"

    Here I lie, the example of not going when one should. I knew I wasn't staying in shape. More or less settled down with one woman, I live in Thailand, most exercise was walking from one bar to the next. Divorced for the last time, free and for the first time had the money. But I had let that...
