Does this reply even register?
This is a test, as I am really low-tech.

14. I don't know how to do that.
Hell, it took me years to figure out how to post on DU.

8. Man, I would have traded my PBR on the Qua Viet for a bike-ride on the Seine in a heartbeat.
But I might have laid the bike down on the cobblestones and skinned an elbow.

2. I watched that show with Lee Hazelwood
We were probably the only two guys in Texas with long hair. Frank Sinatra had just hired Lee to launch his daughter's (Nancy) career. Lee had already penned a lot of hits.
Lee wrote "Some Velvet Morning (when I'm strange...)", showed it to Sinatra and almost got fired. Frank said that there was no way anyone would listen to music like that.
Anyway, Lee had caught the Beatles quite a few times in England and we watched the show that wonderful Sunday evening. Lee told me the world would never be the same after that. As usual, he was right.
I can still see him - long hair, gauzy blousey shirt and flowered bell-bottom pants. And this was in effing Beaumont, Texas.

16. I met her in a little cafe in Vinton, Louisiana many years back.
We had racehorses and raced them at Vinton. One of the local handicappers was a little black kid around eight years old (seriously).
I was standing on a sidewalk in town when the kid came up to me and said,"Mister Tom, WonderWoman in de cafe over dere". And this kid was always as serious as a heart attack.
So I walked in and there she was, sitting with some woman (I believe it was her agent) and everyone in the place was looking at her.
And I just walked up and introduced myself. This was the late 70s and I was into vintage Western shirts and wild-assed boots and my hair was to my waist.
Sat down and had lunch with them and invited them to a party at our trainer's house that night. They were making an appearance in Houston the next day.
And she showed up.
She had the most beautiful eyes in the world.

94. You know where...
I grew up?
Dirt poor on a Texas ranch.
I never attended one day of school, because we were too poor to drive to town every day.
And then I went to Vietnam for 39 months.
From there, I went back to Texas, only to have the pleasure of spending another 28 months in Huntsville as a guest of the Texas Department of Corrections.
My life may be just peachy now, but it hasn't always been that way.

8. Same here.
I date a Laplander who grew up in a family of nomadic reindeer herders, north of the Circle in Norway. Fuel was scarce and they under-cooked everything.
She is crazy for burnt toast.

But they always did what they were told.
They are now very successful purveyors of pot.
Those 'parents' of that child should have been charged with negligence.
See post #8.
Do you think it's Ok when parents act like that?
They are setting an example and opening the door for ever-worsening behavior.

10. I allowed my sons to smoke at home.
And I do not see anything wrong with that.
Taught them and their friends to roll real efficient joints, too.
My sons haved smoked since their teens and are still smoking in their mid-20s. I never had a moments trouble with either one of them.
If you search his posts, you also notice a persistent affinity between TiT and CalPig. They call each other out pretty often. That might be the most disturbing fact of all.

What is his compulsion to post and basically brag at the DUmp? ??? I mean really, is it just an ego thing?
Oh Nads, you are soooooo screwed.
Pure ego and fantasy. In Realville...TiT/DBH is a 50 something pot smoking burn out working minimum wage kissing ass to rich California fat cats and mooching off of other peoples good will for a place to sleep.
But on DU he's the heroic Vietnam Vet...turned poet musician and fighter of evil corporate CEO's...living a bohemian lifestyle in NorCal while offering tips on wine and dishing out sage advice on life.
And for the most part...the DUmmies eat it up.
You forgot about the yellow highlighter and badass towards SecDEFs

I don't know why TiT persists in calling us pencil-dicks.
It's an unfair characterization, as countless pre-dawn Nebraska duck hunters can attest.
Sonoma News, Nov. 15, 2012 (http://www.sonomanews.com/News-2012/Cavallo-to-open-at-Cuneos-creamery-corner/)
Last weekend’s events honoring veterans of all wars had a particularly potent impact on the many Vietnam vets and others who attended. . . .
When Tom Wright, a local Vietnam survivor, said that when he heard the Huey helicopter fly over his and Chris Mueller’s house last week, it made a sound he hadn’t heard in more than 40 years. Wright suddenly got spooked and had flashbacks invading his mind and emotions.
Wright said, “My nervous system reacted before I realized what I was hearing. I moved real close to a wall, and then went out to see it.â€
While the three of us hung out around and touched the Huey, Wright explained that the “FNGs†sat in the unpadded seats nearest the outer edge. When I asked what FNGs were, I got the real answer “F***g New Guys.†The newbies on the outside, of course, took the first ammunition shot at the helicopter.
Wright was stationed in Dong Ha in Quang Tri province where few cargo planes or helicopters flew nearby to drop provisions. They lived on MREs, fish some guys learned to grab out of the rivers and monkeys they shot. He added that a prized part of the “barbecued†monkey was when “someone got to scoop the brains out of its head. We were hungry, we would eat anything, and we did.†And here we are in beautiful Sonoma.
I mentioned that TomInSomeRichLady'sHouseInSonoma's "GF," Christine L. "Chris" Mueller, does marketing for Marketing Made Simple and 2 Alibis and is President of Women for WineSense. I could add that she's also Managing Director for Golden Gate Business Group Inc.
Tom must really like all that obscene corporate profit. And Chris gets him in to all the high-end parties with the rich folk there in the Napa-Sonoma wine country. I bet they see Tom as some quaint hippie relic who can regale them with entertaining tall tales.

1. Thanks, that was beautiful
After a few financially-disastrous years, I am beginning to see a lighter path.
I live in a small town that might as well have a line drawn down the middle of it. Three times, over the holidays, I hung around the checkstands of a mercado on the "wrong side of town" and picked up the tab on a few cart-fulls of groceries. It was the children's faces that pulled the trigger.

7. I know a lot of folks at that income level.
I don't think any of them pays any SS. None of us receives actual paychecks. I have never paid a cent to SS. I am 60 years old and I have never worked for a paycheck. I will take my chances on my own.

This is a weird post. For one thing, Tom Wright says that he is 60 years old. And yet, back in 2006, TomInTib wrote:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1308028
And TIT/DBH hung around with all those musicians in the 1960s and went on motorcycle treks back then, etc.
Now I myself will turn 60 in March. And I know I'm not old enough to have been in Vietnam in 1969 or to have done those other things back then. And we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that TIT and DBH are the same person. So I've got to think he is OLDER than 60, by at least several years. He is TomInHis60s.
this (TAFKATIT) abbreviation, . . . (I think it means The Asshole Formerly Known As TiT, right?)
Oh, when I use TAFKATIT, I mean The Artist Formerly Known As TomInTib. He is an artist, you know. That's how Tom Wright describes himself on the record of his political contributions. "Self" it says for his employment, and "Artist" for his occupation. On October 4, 2009, Tom claimed a $300 donation to Woolsey for Congress, an in-kind contribution for "Artwork donated to event."
