    Had the guys

    Batten down the hatches. Don't think it's coming that far west but got to be careful,
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    That sent me off down memory lane.

    How I have changed---I was once a member of the John Birch Society (after the Army). But---when I went into the Army I did not have a SS number. I didn't believe in the whole idea of SS and the few jobs I had before going into the Army were under the table---so no problem. When I went in the Army they had a problem with that Keep in mind I was all of 17 at the time. Back to the Army: they told me I HAD to have a SS number---but I still didn't have the Army thing worked out and I said I didn't want one because I didn't believe in SS. The guy doing the talking was very calm----he said----Okay--then we will just keep taking out the money and send it to Washington with all the rest and you will not get any credit for it. Now I might have been young and dumb---but I quickly decided that was not going to be a beneficial move on my part----so---I gots me a number right then and there!

    Rivers is retired and still alive (age 81). Apparently, a group he formed was called Spades - not going to touch that one.
