A good truck for a reasonable price.

Insensitivity and a general lack of professional victims. They certainly existed, but we are on a different curve today.

My youth and hair.

Louisiana liquor laws now that I live in the east.

My family.

Don’t miss:

The outright hatred I got when I brought a selfloading rifle to the range. I was once asked to slow my fire or leave because a woman on the range complained that she was pregnant and my HK91 was loud.

The amount of religion that was shoved down my throat.

Trucks without AC.

AWB.

You summed up exactly the odd place a person of my generation finds themselves...
Ironically it's pretty much the reverse now- people treating their brand of lunacy like a religion and shoving down everyone's throat, people get pissed at anyone with a selfloader, and everything is expensive, yet increasingly mediocre and your job will be your life, not like anyone at the place will care.

Also I miss unkillable Nokia phones. Hundreds of bucks for some fragile thing people are attached to at the hip because their entire lives are increasingly on it, then then it gets dropped and smashes the screen. F that. Talk about a ripoff.
You could bludgeon a crook to the deck with one of the old Nokia's and it would still be in one piece to call the police afterwards... didn't need to carry a tac-light with an impact bezel...

My loved ones who have died. Yeah it's life, I know that, but it doesn't make it any easier to accept. One of these days (hopefully a couple decades from now) it'll be me......

Maroon with ivory white racing stripes! Yes, I agree my buddy had this car. That was a great car.

No more than 20 minute drive in any direction from town to get a limit of doves...I'm still fortunate to have outstanding wing shooting relatively close, but the rio grande valley growth is bonkers.
