I have lived a lot of different places thru the yrs, Ca,Iowa,Fl,Tx,Tn,Ut,& my favorite, the place I was born, WV. My Grandfather on Dad's side was a Russian immigrant and my Great Grandmother on Mom's side was a McCoy from the Hatfield McCoy Feud, so I can definately claim crazy hillbilly descent. Drove truck most of my life, now my wife and I are both on disability due to being hit by a semi with a 40 ft trailer at about 70mph in Ca, Dec of 1990. I have opinions about everything and not shy about expressing them. One of my many faults is that I sometimes express them in a sarcastic manner. I was a definate hippy in the 60's and, in my mind, will be till I'm gone. Firm believer in Individual freedom, but not expecting to actually ever completely have it. Just tend to do the best I can with what I have.

Willie Nelson, Tommy Chong, Stephen King,
I would love to have met Shel Silverstein, Waylon Jennings, and Walt Disney before they died.
Would like to meet Hillary Clinton for a real one on one discussion, not just a handshake on the campain trail.

Due to disability not much of a physical nature. Pretty much the same as the General Interests. Sometimes like to sit out back and shoot coyotes when they try to take my cats.

A more recent one, not related, would be Walt Disney. He has probably made more people of all ages, sex's, races, religions, nationalities, happy than anyone else, ever. You just have to smile with anything Disney. At least I do.
