What a great story!


Richard Overton, America's oldest living veteran.

Chances are, the 109 year-old World War II veteran began the day like any other: on the porch, smoking a cigar, sipping a cup of coffee stiffened with whiskey.

“I drink whiskey in my coffee. Sometimes I drink it straight,” Overton told CNN.  “I smoke my cigars, blow the smoke out — I don’t swallow it.”

Overton, who was born on May 11, 1906, in Bastrop County, Texas, served three years in the U.S. Army, with stops in Hawaii, Guam, Palau and Iwo Jima.

 The centenarian still lives in the house he bought when he returned from World War II, still drives an old Ford truck and a Chevy Monte Carlo and still helps "transport widows to church." He was formally recognized as the oldest-living veteran last year.

 A resident of Austin, Texas, Overton will be joined by 100 friends to celebrate his birthday, including the city's mayor Steve Adler. UPI News reports that "he still enjoys driving, smoking cigars and drinking whiskey."

We should send him a box of cigars.

...and a case of whiskey.  Afternoon Saturday slackers.

T-ball is over.  Now what?  Wonder if I get to have lunch today?  Sheesh!

Getting kind of warm out there Tony, may need to make a Choco-Taco run.

Morning Raz.  Just made my second truckload of stuff to Goodwill this morning.

I do Kayaks, luv fly fishing the salt water flats in a kayak.

I like fishing fine, but the idea of a good afternoon of motorboatin' just sounds real good. 

Morning, Tex. Fly fishing sounds really good today, even in a kayak. Wish I could. 

Well, at least I got to put a hundred miles on the bike yesterday.

Don't think for one second I don't luv motorboat!  Kayak fishing with a fly rod in the marshes is very peaceful and relaxing.

What's up Dave?  Graduation weekend here in sunny Oxford.  Takes about a week for the kids to clear out of town.  Until then we have to dodge the U-Haul trucks.

His birthday, May 11th, is the same day as my Dad's who smoked at least 10-12 cigars a day along with a good bit of Old Taylor bourbon and lived to 89 in very good health until his last 3 months.  He was a WW II veteran and would be 101 next week.

I don't think the graduates here ever leave.

Think I shall go to the humidor and select a cigar then to the refrigerator to select a beer.  Lighting on the patio in about 10 minutes.

La Herencia Core lit and a Sweetwater Georgia Brown poured.  Nice pair!  Caramel & Chocolate with a little hop, wonder if Bean would like that combo??

Damn wind must be blowing 30 mph but no rain.

For some reason when the wind blows for several days here out of the SouthWest we start having trouble with flies.  .  Wonder what could be causing that from that particular direction?
