Dirt,

I was a high school band director for forty three years.

I think that band might have been banned.Are those the ones that have been banned from OGR?

I marched in high school and college bands,played tuba in band and orchestra,and still play in a community band in Savannah,Georgia,Sixty one years of tuba playing and toting.

I think that hobo banned might have been much fun.

The last time my wife and I were in Washington D.C., we visited the wall and before we went in, there was a Viet Nam vet in a stand selling Army pins that were of the unit patches of outfits that was in Viet Nam. As I was in Viet Nam I looked for a 1st Log pin and found one and bought it. Then we went into the wall and I found a few guys names that I graduated high school with that I knew had died over there. As we were walking out I teared up and my wife said I guess it was worse than you thought it would be huh? I said yeah I guess so. Brings back memories.

America's 10 Coolest Small Towns
These towns all have fewer than 10,000 people — but they can rival larger cities when it comes to good food, culture, and quality of life.

Belfast, Maine
Population: 6,840
Nearest City: Portland, 102 miles

Shoe factories and a sardine cannery used to be Belfast's lifeblood, and visitors were few. Now, the cheap real estate and relative lack of summer tourists are luring new residents, especially artists. Bob Hansen, a former accountant, was one of the early pioneers when he moved from Dallas 11 years ago to open the White House Bed & Breakfast in an 1840 Greek Revival home. He says the changes in the past several years have been amazing: "Belfast is becoming an artisan enclave, and not just people with paintbrushes — there are jewelry makers, glassblowers, and weavers." At Chase's Daily, Addison and Penny Chase serve vegetarian dishes (like curry fried rice with tofu, squash, corn, and Thai basil) in a space that doubles as a farmers market and an art gallery. Much of the produce comes from the couple's farm. The two-year-old gallery at the Waterfall Arts center specializes in nature-themed pieces such as landscape paintings and sculptures made from hay bales. This being the Maine coast, you'll still see a few lobstermen hauling their traps onto the docks. The best place to sample their catch is at Young's Lobster Pound, where the lines sometimes stretch into the parking lot. — Darrell Hartman

Jim, you can't walk the Wall in D.C. without being affected.

I remember the controversy when it was designed, and people didn't think it was sufficiently 'grand'. I think it works just fine, as in it's simplicity, starkness, and understatement, the entire focus becomes the stunning thousands and thousands and thousands of names, and the breadth of the sacrifice.

Any of you guys ever get to DC, don't miss it.

Dirt:

I didn't think I would be affected that much. Guess I was wrong.
