Mood: Checking-off my bucket list.

I remember going to TJ (The long bar??) on liberty one time in the early sixties with a couple of other teen-aged Marine buddies in an old DeSoto that one of them had bought. We got there, got good and stinko, headed back to Camp Pendleton and the water pump started going out. We just kept turning up the radio until it finally boiled out and quit. Must have been about San Juan Capistrano where we left the keys and pink slip on the seat and hitchhiked back to the base.:lol:

Back in the days when playing with big guns and DUI were some kind of cool.:?:

Funny Banco...I got out in '64 and went to work in a top 40 radio station. In a six hour weekend board shift I must have played Hang on Sloopy...twenty times a shift.:lol:

The cars parked, "En Cordón", [I think that's what it's called]. I wonder why they don't do that today. It would help, some anyway.

Well I'm too young for the 50's but I do remember when I was little in the 70's we would go down for Lobster Dinners & instead of it being in a restraunt, it was in a Mexican Family's living room that they had opened up to the public. I also remember dancing on the dance floor @ the Rosarito Beach Hotel. Funny thing is I went to the Rosarito Beach Hotel about 15 years ago & the bartender had been there for years & remembered me as a little girl.
