In the early 19s or so, mas o menos, I formed a partnership with one Phillip Mortenson, the developer of Grung-go, a revolutionary cleaning product
the public was clammoring for after the invention and sales explosion of indoor stoves. (Later he left me in the cold to make billions with Formula
409). We had great sucess in Texas and New Mexico and gave hungry entreprenuers franchise opportunities in Sonora and Chihuahua. There were billboards
everywhere and the streets were littered with empty cardboard containers with our name on it. It sure caught on. You're the first one's I've told
about this.

I don't have time to get into that aspect of the word right now. I'm busy watching the Angels and Yankees. Then...the Chargers. Then....the inside
of my eyelids.  |
Dodgers?

I don't know why I let them make me think they could go all the way. That hit in the bottom of the ninth spells the end.

Hey Gang,
I was told that in one of the earlier wars ( could be the 1846 one ), that not all the Americans wore blue. Here a quote from Wikipedia:
DezMag" One story that is widely repeated among Mexican-Americans as well as throughout the Southwest United States was that during the
Mexican-American War the Mexicans who knew little English referred to the Americans' green uniforms and would shout, "Green go!", meaning "Leave our
country."[citation needed] But, the U.S. military in the Mexican-American War did not wear the color green. They were still wearing blue at this time.
During W.W.I the uniforms were tan. Not until W.W.II did the U.S. army begin to wear green.[9] "
