Over 50 years ago I was talking to my Grandmother, I said something about back in the good old days. She reached over patted me on the knee and said These are the good old days those were hard times.

Can’t believe I’m first view, comment, and like. People are missing out here. It was a rough life back then but goodness I would love to have been there and lived it with them. People nowadays, including myself, are extremely soft compared to these men. Id have still killed myself trying to keep up. I used to work oilfield and I had some rough days and permanently damaged my body refusing to leave someone else having to pick up my slack but I didn’t shame myself.

I would’ve been the Doctor. Who’ve had a two 38’s and two 45 revolvers a 45 repeater rifle a shotgun. Knifes, axes and spears. Plus a medical bag. And a wife asking why and how and why she can’t she do it. And she’ll do it better, anyway.
