[or-roots] Huh? 60 years ago

[Cecil Houk]

Les and the list:

No and yes.

As I start my 66th year of life (in not very good health [3 liters per minute of oxegyn 24/7]), why 
not talk about things that might not be known by some of the younger folks?

There has always been a refund price on beer and soda bottles (cans came later).

I'm tired; goodnight,

Cecil
