Something's wrong with Tom Brady. He looks tired. It's like he's just
going through the motions as best he can.

I just called my bro and conceded. Maybe tomorrow I'll ask for a recount. Right now it's bed time.


Not so fast!
Too late. I called my bro, conceded, and crashed. Should have stayed up. Unreal.

At halftime they showed the most points down that had ever been overcome to win. Three times teams
had come back after being 10 points down. None had come from more than a 10 point deficit. At the 25
point deficit mark I chalked up the loss. Called the bank, had the checkbook on the desk, ready to
write the check in the morning.

I got up and my wife had left me a note: "Patriots Won. Jim is sending check."

I guess he forgot that I'd conceded. Or maybe he thought I'd demand a recount anyway. Who knows.

I should get the money any day now. Can't wait. Don't know what I'll buy with it.

All of $2.00.

That's funny! All of my bets with my friends are for $2.00!

Well see! There you go. You know how exuberant I am waiting for all that money to arrive. Actually I
was hoping to lose, 'cause I wanted to send him the $2 bill. The last time I won from him he sent
the two $1 bills glued together like a cross. They're still in the desk somewhere.

WOW! You're quite the big time operator.
It would cost at least $2 to write and mail a cheque up here. Almost
that much to send the money by etransfer.
I would just send one of these
http://gfretwell.com/ftp/2%20dollar%20bills.jpg

Just like my buddy who passed away couple years ago. He always used $2
bills.
Back in the 60's the air force base at which my dad was stationed would pay the airmen in $2
bills...their whole check. Of course the checks weren't as big back then. The purpose was to show
the communities how much money the military was spending on the local economy. The idea was pretty
good for a few months after that payday all one would see was $2 bills everywhere.

Don't know if other military installations did that or not.

I'm sure the strippers were thrilled! They are part of the local
economy, right?



As far as I know, there were no strip joints in Sedalia, MO, when I lived there, late 50's to early
60's. There may have been some in Knob Noster, just outside the base, but I can't remember anything
like a strip club anywhere while I was in high school. I got a job and moved away right after that,
so don't know if a few may have moved in.

Pax River talked about it but the payroll was just too big and I think
they do a lot of direct deposit anyway.

Whiteman AFB was pretty good sized, but I don't know how big, comparatively speaking. It was a B-47
base back then. Had a great photo shop and hobby shop which is where I spent most of my summer days
when not working.

I was talking about "big" in the number of two dollar bills it would
take. Back in the olden days the average enlisted salary was $100 or
so. That is about what I was making as an E-3 in 1965 before my pro
pay and sea pay.

I don't remember any real "strip clubs" in DC in the 60s either. They
had "go go" dancers but they basically wore bikinis and hooker boots.
I went to one of those clubs in New York where the girls worked on the
bar and occasionally would flash a little fur or boob but only very
late and for a pretty good tip.
I dated a dancer in DC but she quit when they wanted her to go
topless. It was a far different time.

I was thinking 'big' in numbers of people, or numbers of bills. That pay of yours sounds about
right. I started at $72/month.

Amen. I don't think Sedalia had any clubs with dancers. If so, they kept it well hidden. It had a

In the 60's we even had topless waitresses. I remember my dentist in those
days, telling of his insurance agent trying to talk insurance as a topless
waitress leaned over to serve the food. ABC, beverage control, or the food
police, shut down food waitressing for health reasons. Still could have
dancers.

There undoubtably whore houses in the area. I grew up in an area with no
close military base, and a strip of county land was pretty wide open.
Whore house there. I was too young to avail myself of the women, but I
delivered newspapers there on my route.

I must have been thinking of take home pay. When I was drafted, June of '65, the base pay for E-1
was $83.20. I believe my take home was about $72.
