...and you realize the card you have you've had for two years....and it seems like it was yesterday.

I have posted here several times on the subject of cigarettes; I hate them. I was a 2 pack a day smoker for many years. It took me a long time to quit but I was determined. I quit more than 20 years ago and now I can't even stand the smell of them. They're disgusting.

I wore these when I was a kid. Loved them!

I thought they were the original shoes that made you run faster and jump higher.

Asbestos pads under the Bunsen burners in elementary school classrooms in the 1950's...

Since we encountered asbestos in various places on campus, I was required to take a 5 day asbestos supervisor course at the university I worked at. It sure made a believer out of me. That is some bad $hit!

I did asbestos abatement for a few years in the late 80's and early 90's. Nasty stuff for sure. I always wore a full faced powered respirator. But some of the clowns I worked with would leave their passive respirators dangling around their necks while they smoked as they were ripping asbestos. Damn fools. I had chest xrays every year up until a few years ago. I figure after 30 years of being away from it, I'm probably safe now.

Those guys were damn fools. Smoking and asbestos? Moronic. Wonder how they’re doing now? Hopefully okay. Can’t say they didn’t know any better, at least about the asbestos, that’s what the respirators were for.

Still remember what an Instructer in one our Logistics Management Classes would stress, "Leave Nothing to Chance". Looking back, I should applied that to many decisiions in my life.

You were a teen when this model was introduced, and you remember who made it.

AMC Javelin

[lakefront]

AMC AMX......originals came with just a package tray instead of a back seat. So it was a "two seater" sports car. Pretty quick with the 390 V8.

Right!! Standard engine was 290ci and optional was the more potent 390ci. They were in direct competition with the Corvette from 68-70.

[M_Six]

Ah yes, the Javelin was an offshoot of the AMX.

We all probably have said this, you're definitely not alone.

Well, at least I'm upright today.

To add insult to injury, I have to go for a deep cleaning of HALF my mouth this morning. Dentist said he/I would need a break, so split it into 2 sessions.

I hadn't been to dentist since before COVID

Instead, I simply left fingerprints where I was gripping the arms of the chair. I have to check when I get home, but pretty sure the needle into the bottom jaw came out the back of my head.

The needle was for novocaine, right? So was it really that bad?

Or Diazepam (valium) which is what I’ll be on Thursday for an extraction. (hope it works!)
