Does it mean the Turkey or Chicken is inedible ? Naw . It pertains to Old Men who stand on principle , Women too .
It describes the " Old Guard " which is slowly passing into history . Those who served their country , raised a law abiding , religious ( to a point , for some ) family and gave all for their world .
Giving all isn’t just patriotism . It’s doing for your community . I still believe in that old saw ." It takes a community to raise a child ." The school aged members of my neighborhood know if something isn’t right , go to " DOC’s House .He’ll call our parents! That’s the way it was for me .
See an accident ,? Help where you can , my neighbors did when I couldn’t get out of my T-Boned van last year .We do here in New Braunfels .
Someone is hurt for whatever reason . Help out where you can . If you can only walk a dog , answer a door or even just be a shoulder to cry on . "Tough Old Bird "? Naw - Just well seasoned ! Tanker - Builder P.S. It’s also an old plane , broken many times , but still flying .
The late First Lady. You know it’s key when her children describe her as “the enforcer”, implying that their dad (Naval Aviator, CIA Director, Vice President and President) is a softy.
I’d say P-47s and Hawker Typhoons qualify, considering the pictures I’ve seen of them making forced landings and going through buildings, or brick or stone walls, with pilots walking away.
I have experienced that with My J-3 . That plane always seemed ready , willing and able to hop right into the sky . Even if there was a wind coming down the hangar aprons . She wanted UP !
I believe that what was used in battle did indeed seem imbued with a life . Possibly from those who built them and wanted to stop this war ?
With me it was the Grumman Yankee, after flying clunky (but easy to fly) stuff from Cessna. Even the T-37 didn’t respond like that little Yankee. Never got a chance to fly a real fighter- the Tweety was the closest thing, before I washed out.
