Yeah. To bad, huh. *spelling: too Yeah. Made the wrong, wrong career choice to get up into space The, uh, uh, I used to think when I was, when I was younger that, uh, by this time we'd have lots more in stuff in space than we do now. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Uh, frustrating at times. Uh-huh. I don't know what you think about al...
I've always, uh, felt that, uh, uh, one of the long-term solutions that, at least a few of our problems would be to have, uh, some sort of, uh, solar power satellites up. Uh-huh. Uh, because that's a, uh, you know, in singularly renewable resource that doesn't do it, that doesn't require, uh, uh, any particularly nasty...
Sure, that makes a lot of sense. The only problem is, of course, that, uh, that requires significant commitment from people to actually decide they want to put things like that up there. Uh-huh. Yeah. And they want to do the research and uh, they're all you know, Yeah. the only commitments that they're interested in m...
Exactly. Least not, I, I would settle for the for the glitz if the side effects were useful, like the, uh, but, uh Yeah. the downside of that is you, after you do one of those, people say well we did it. Right. Now let's now we're done Now we're done. No need to use this to play around with this space stuff anymore. Th...
Uh-huh. That's the only thing that bothers me. That's not really invading my privacy Right. Uh, do you feel that yours is invaded? Uh, no I wouldn't call it invading my privacy by any means. Uh, you know, I would, there, there's a lot of times though, uh, you get those calls and, you know, when you're sitting at home w...
They get your name from, uh, if you enter any type of contest or anything. Uh-huh. Uh, you know, you enter a sweepstake in the local department store for a shopping spree or something, you put your phone number on there, they pass your phone number on to another company. Oh. Uh, or you, uh, or, or like the newspapers, ...
Huh. And when you have more than one phone number, you get a call on each number you have Good grief. Well, let me ask you about this. Here's something that, uh, has been kind of concerning me lately. My fiance received a bill from a, a Lord and Taylor company, Uh, you know, they're a, they're a department store. Uh-hu...
Uh-huh. If you know a person's social security number and their mailing address, and their mother's maiden name uh, you can, basically, become that, uh, person. Huh. Uh, if the purchase was made mail order, they should have a record of where it was shipped to Uh-huh. and since it wasn't shipped to her address, she cou...
What happened, uh, Have you ever gotten one of those calls that is either generated by a computer or somebody going down a list and their either offering a service or they're introducing some new product in the area and normally when they call, you're either in the shower, or you're in the middle of cooking something a...
or the ones that are, are generated by a computer. It's just a computer voice that comes on the line. Those are the ones that I really, really hate too. I've even had some of them, the, they're voice activated and you've got to say hello twice before they'll do anything. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, sometimes I, I get them on...
but if they're going to offer these services, or these recorded message, everything, they ought to be stuck working with the phone book like everybody else instead of using a computer to go through and just go down every sequence of numbers for this certain area code and call them. Uh-huh, yes, see I have an unlisted t...
but they still come up to the front door and, uh, you know, walk around. So, usually what I do is I'll call the apartment manager and tell them hey, there's people coming around, you know, and they're trying to sell something or, or they're from a religious organization and I really hate that. I really, really do. I ha...
yeah, no, I, I agree with you there. If they want to choose that particular religion that's fine with me too, you know, as long as they don't try and pull me in and drag me in. And, and I don't like the way that they do it either, and, and, it's their mission that they do it. They go door to door and they go out into t...
Yeah, yeah, that's true, yeah. No I don't, uh, I don't have, I didn't go that far but, uh, yeah I probably could do the same thing, uh, you know, I don't have a storm door, but I'm sure I could rig up something. But you know I don't think that that would stop people. I, it's like they see that word and it says go inste...
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true, that's true, um. Well what else? I believe we've pretty much summed everything up. I know, but I remember you, you talked about something, you started off and said, well let me think, you talked about the telephone calls and people coming and soliciting and selling things at t...
Oh goodness, okay, is our five minutes up? Uh, pretty close to it. Pretty close. Well I've enjoyed talking with you. Well it was nice talking to you too Jim. And take it easy now. Okay, thanks, bye. Good night. Okay, so we've got to talk about music. Okay. Well, no that's really when I grew up, And, um, do you like cla...
I mean, Is it disco, or is it like, No, no, no, not that kind of music but, No, more like, uh, rock, um, you know, like Led Zepplin type Oh, okay. So, so they can get like the Doors and Led Zepplin. Right. Yeah, that's cool. Right. And, how about the Rolling Stones? Oh, sure, sure I went to their concert last year when...
Oh, that's when, that's when they took, toured. How about, um, Pink Floyd? Sure, yeah, I like them. Okay. So, so then we got, we got some same things because, Okay, well, I just didn't know that much about music and I wasn't sure what kind of music. No, it's very hard because, see, well, I mean, in the whole spectrum I...
Like, for example, let's see, uh, Bad Company, what, Oh, well, Bad Company's not bad, that's not, well, they're like, for example, A C D C. Yeah, A C D C Why, have you heard of them? Yes Okay. And, stuff like that. That's, that's, that's not really hard rock. Well, okay. Okay, I guess I didn't really consider that heav...
But, I like A C D C's okay. But, see, for example, they have, see what, but other bands consider it like really hard rock. It's like brash metal, which all they do is like, they have this guitar and they just bang at the guitar, and the guitar is set like, really low, Yeah. No, I don't really care for that too much, I ...
Oh, okay. But, that's, that's what they do. That's, that's what some people call like really heavy metal. Oh, okay. And, see, the difference, I guess, between hard rock and heavy metal is that the lyrics also. Like really, like heavy metal, is considered, like the words heavy metal and, like, you always thought about, ...
I said Queen's Reich, but, but, oh, but you got to like Queen also. Oh, oh, oh, okay, Right. So because, Well sure, because Queen was real popular when I was growing up. Yeah, especially, uh, oh God, what is it, A Night At The Opera? Don't they have a, no let's see, the one that they have the, the whole opera singing i...
and I pumped it up. Because, I mean, I just love that song. Yeah, that, that was a real good one. Yeah, but they had, that, that whole record was pretty good. But then, they started going downhill like everybody else. Well, that's true. They came up with some pretty weird stuff after that. Yeah, they're, they're still ...
I agree. That's the the older stuff is the best of it. The, the new stuff's kind of more like, today's rock and roll, which I, don't really care for today's rock and roll too much. Yeah. Well, for example, I used to like old Phil Collins. Right. Yes, definitely. I agree. And, and, then what happened was that Phil Colli...
Right. Because, I look at him and I say, you know, you were singing at this time, and with these people, and you were great, and now you're singing all this stuff that, doesn't matter what you, what you sing or what you record, it's still going to be a number one hit. And so, that's, that's what gets me mad. Yeah. But,...
Uh-huh. They said the music's great, it took me back to the sixties, and stuff like that. Uh-huh. And then, one of them said, well, everything is great, but I'm going to give it thumbs down. And they go, but why? Because it's like, the end is, like, really depressing. And so, Oh. But it, but it's like the movie is so w...
Right. I, I never found out what a lot of the seventies music had too. You know, I was like, Well no, I've never liked disco. Hey, but I bet you were out there with your bell bottomed pants, Well, that's true That's true. But, I was more in the late well, I like mid to late seventies, like between seventy-five and, and...
But see, I graduated high school in seventy-eight, Okay. so, you know, in seventy-eight, you know rock was starting to get really heavy, you know, and real, um, I don't know, Yeah, yeah. disco was pretty much dead by then. Yeah. So, so that's what I mean, disco wasn't really my time. Well, they always say that the seve...
the, the eighties are called, like the progressive years, or the, or, you know, like the technology years, because of all the computers and stuff. Uh-huh. But the seventies got nothing. I mean, nobody cared to name it That's kind of funny So. You're right. I never thought of that. The disco years, that's what they're c...
Don't worry, don't worry, you're not, you're not missing anything, you know, so, That's true. Well, except for Vietnam. Yeah, really. And, that's, that's why I guess, everybody, You know with, yeah, it's like they don't want to talk about that, so they just, don't name it. I mean, it was, it was, I guess it was pretty ...
we've been talking for seven minutes, so, Oh, good. I haven't even been keeping track. Okay, all right, so um, I'm going to leave you alone. Uh what, what are you doing? Do you have a family? Uh, yeah. Okay. We're kind of, I was kind of in the middle of supper, but it's not a big deal, Oh, I'm sorry. I just left it. No...
I just got it today. Oh, okay. And so, you know, it's okay. I, I told them I'd be available during this time, so, anyway. Okay. All right. So then, uh, have fun doing this. It is not, that bad. Okay, thanks. Bye, bye. Great, Bye. All right, um, I think the topic was crime in the city. Right. I do not live in a city. I...
Uh, it's about thirty miles from Sherman. North, south, east, or west? It's north of Sherman. Well, you live almost in Oklahoma Not too far. Yeah . That's kind of ironic, because I don't live too far from Oklahoma either. Huh-uh. You know where Saint Joe is? Uh, I've been through there. I'm about eight miles south of i...
Oh, yeah. Sure. And, they didn't kill as many people in, in forty-five days, and they were intending to kill people, Huh-uh. I mean, that was their job, as they killed in Washington D C. Oh, I know, I know. I know. Um, I think nowadays people just, really just, murder is nothing to them, you know. Well, I formulated a ...
Huh-uh. Huh-uh. If someone is known to have been in prison, they can't get a job. No. You know. Yeah. They can't be accepted into society. You know, if they're not going to be accepted into society, then everybody's going to become sociopathic. Huh-uh. And, you know, who's to put the limit on it? I mean, I was watching...
Huh-uh. Well, they may find a cure for it, but there is no known cure now. Um. So you're, you're kind of thinking, in other words, if you get, if you do something the first time, that's not real bad, you know, Hey , people make mistakes. yeah, to go ahead and let them go, but if they do it again and they really need to...
But, uh, you know, with the technology we have today, you can put a collar on a guy's leg that will knock him down if they leave the property. I mean, it will just in incapacitate them. Huh-uh. And, you can put a collar around a guy's leg that will prohibit them from committing any kind of prohibitive act. Huh-uh. But,...
and the repeat offenders are very few. You know, and you look at our society, almost everyone out on the street that has been in prison, has been in prison three or four times. Three or four times, yeah. I mean, You know, the way to stop that kind of behavior is, is two-fold. That is true, I know. Yeah. One, you need t...
comes, yeah. and I've, and I've, I've lived in that, that environment for quite a few years when I was doing construction work. You know, and these guys, they come to work every morning and they're stoned to the bone. I mean, their so high, they could fly up to the top of that building *spelling: they're and they work ...
I had one kid threaten my life, Threaten my life. In the first grade Told me that daddy's going to whoop me to death. Oh, know You know, and they flipping me the finger and all that Huh-uh. and I just said to this kid, I said, you got two choices kid, you can step into mainstream society or you can die. Huh-uh. Because...
and they react to what they see at home. You know. Huh-uh. If they see violence at home, that's what you're going to get from the kids at school. Exactly. You know. It really is, and that's kind of sad. Well, you can see it in the work place, you know. Used to be when you had a personality conflict you just, you worked...
Teen. And the company, took it upon itself to find a position for these people. If they weren't fit for the job they were hired for, they didn't just can them, they made a position for them some where. Huh-uh. You look at Frito Lay. My wife used to work for Frito Lay as a typist. You know, transcribing stuff into the c...
I just have a hard time finding any spare time lately. That's my case also. I've got a new born and there's just no time. Uh-huh. Have you been cross-stitching long? Oh, several years. My husband is even interested in it now. He likes to help me design, um, you know, projects that are, a little more customized. Oh, rea...
It was tough, but, uh, yeah. Do you have any others, or is this mainly cross-stitching? Um, I do mostly that, um, not very artistic really for like painting and stuff. Oh, uh-huh. Um, Yeah. But, now I don't know. I'm still trying to get all the D M C colors Oh, really Yeah, I've got the kits to put them all in. I don't...
and I got to thinking the money that I've got invested in this is, uh, it, yeah, it can add up quick. Oh, yeah. I just, I just keep an inventory of what I currently have, and then when I start a new project, I go through and see if I, if I, you know, just buy the colors that I need of what I'm low on. Uh-huh. Right. I ...
There's lots of shades of greens. But the colors, I just love all the different colors. Yeah. They had quite a few new ones come out last year, that they added to. But, you don't have much spare time either? Well, not lately I just started a new job and trying to get acclimated there. Oh, yes. And that does take some t...
Oh, yeah. Yeah. We missed it last year, so hopefully this year he'll have one. Yeah. Well, last year he was a little bit young for having one. Right. He wouldn't have enjoyed it anyway You would have but, Right. If it tasted good, yeah. All he liked was the lights this year, so. Oh, yeah. Oh, well, that's neat that you...
Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, that's okay. Okay uh, but, yeah, I've been doing it for probably ten years or so. Oh, wow. No, I just started about, well, five years ago, I think. But it is peaceful, I mean it is relaxing to do, once you find the time to do it. Uh-huh There's also a couple of large projects, baby afghans,...
I just, I bought the cloth and the pattern for it. I didn't, um, I didn't buy the, uh, I didn't buy a kit. Oh, uh-huh. Well I've seen the afghans in the stores that are designed for cross-stitching. Uh-huh. It's that cloth. Oh, okay. It's cloth I think. Uh-huh. And it has the borders and everything already. Yeah. Those...
It worked out that way. That's great. Uh, that, uh, now I've got the material to do an afghan that I just never did get around to finishing it. Uh-huh. I like those. Those are pretty. Yeah. Lilly, Lilly , she said, she said it's for your daughter to use. Oh, no. She said, I know she doesn't get to touch it. She hung it...
True. Well, I've enjoyed this. Okay. But, uh, well keep up the good, um, keep up the cross-stitching. You too. All right, thanks. Uh-huh, bye bye. Bye bye. I was trying to think about some of my favorite people that I liked in music and they're, none of them are recent, right. Uh-huh. So I like Gordon Lightfoot, do you...
Uh-huh. So you like a, a variety. Yeah. Sort of easy listening because you like country but then, But not all country. I don't like that, when they start, Um. I don't know. I just like Willie Nelson I guess because he's such a character. Oh, uh-huh. Yeah, I, I like some of his songs, though. They're, they're not so, th...
and my house just burned down, you know. Yeah. But, There, there's a guy, have you ever heard of George Winston, he plays piano. No. I think he's dead now, but he plays wonderfully. Uh-huh. I like that. Are, are you, do you play the piano, is, or you just like it? Very badly. I've got a piano, Yeah. my mother got a pia...
and I was the one that did the least poorly, so she gave it to me. And it's sitting here mostly taking up space, but sometimes it makes you feel good to sit down and play it. It is real relaxing. Yeah, it must be fun to be able to play it and, you know, if you can play tunes that people can sing along to it'd be, it'd ...
What's that? I said so do I, I forgot about jazz Yeah, I like a lot, like, I like, uh, is it the New Age music, like with, uh, uh, the, I don't know if you've heard Neurotic Collection. Yes, we've got about five of those. I love them. Yeah, I love those, too. They're just so relaxing. Uh-huh. I'd never heard them befor...
And then even my eleven year old boy loves to listen to it. Isn't that nice. I mean it's nice when you have a piece that, that is so, so peaceful, that everybody likes, you know, Yeah. and, uh, it, it, it, it, you know, it has pieces that are uplifting, but, it, it's mostly relaxing and you don't, because it doesn't ha...
I mean, I don't even know who did which ones, but he does. I, I can't identify them either. I just like them. I could, I know which ones come next, but I don't even know their names. Most of them I don't know their names of the song, but I, I can identify them. But I like that and I like, uh, course I, I like classical...
so. I I can relate to it, I suppose But, uh, and I like, I'm like you I like the older stuff, too, because I like Chicago Yeah. and I like I like, uh, uh, let me think who, uh, you don't know Hebert Laws, but Hebert Laws a flute player, he's a jazz flute player and I like, uh, uh, Chuck Mangione, do you know who Chuck ...
Oh, but we do have, I like Simply Red, we got Simply Red. I figure all our C Ds that we have what I really like And, uh, I like Breeze, I like the group. I think just because they all sort of sound, they sound a lot like uh, Simply Red. Uh. So what type, Simply Red, I've never heard of that. Is it just instrumental? No...
but, it's, it's got men and women and it's not, it's, it's nice, I mean it's pleasant, you know, music. It's not where it's, it hurts your ears to hear it. But it's not as, it's not like, uh, Chicago where it's got that much instrument to it. You know, it doesn't have, like all the brass and everything. Yeah. Yeah. Wel...
For East Texas or something? Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Just because there's a friend up there, not because there's much else Oh, okay. Well they're having a lot of recruiting this week in all the different areas. That's why I was just For colleges? Yeah, East Texas is recruiting for, you know, their fall semester Well, the...
but I'm going to school, uh, for legal assistant and that's what I know, so, and, uh, just nothing basically Are you going to go to East Texas for that? No, no, it, no I don't go to East Texas. I got a degree from T W U, but I'm really interested in legal, you know, in the legal environment, but I don't want to be a la...
Anyway, this is happened in nineteen eighty-three. Yeah. And they had us fill out a long questionnaire. We stayed till about one thirty and they're going to call the ones that they're interested in from the questionnaire two to three at a time and the trial won't take place until June. Yeah, that's how it works. And th...
Yeah. Oh, well they'll, weed him out. The, the investigator. Yeah, he, he got off right away. Yeah. And I wrote that down on my questionnaire that he'd told me that, Uh-huh. so I figure that that will make me biased and I won't be chosen. Well, not necessarily Hopefully but there's probably something else that might ma...
Yeah, so, see, there, there they would have a doubt about you, that, you know, You know. Uh-huh. because if that's what, if that's what the punishment is in that, in that instance, then you're always going to say, you know, not you're, you're not going to want to have him have that uh, that punishment. So, Yeah. But th...
and I'm doing my Master's at N C State Oh, uh-huh. so, uh, uh, children wouldn't be very convenient for me right now. Well, no, would they, no. So what, what, how do you spend the time with your children? Well both of mine are boys. They're eight and eleven Um. Okay, and did, and they're into sports Yeah. I mean, as a ...
we start here at, uh, five. Okay, and, and in, in his league do they have like a pitcher, or do they have a standing ball or a machine, or what? Up until, it's coach pitch, until you get nine which my little boy will be nine in May. Okay. So he's going to be with, uh, regular pitching Oh, okay. and my eleven year old, ...
and how about, how about like on the weekends. Do you do sports or do you go out? Both. If we're not doing sports we go somewhere. Do you go, how about like for, uh, do you go for long vacations, like a week or something when they have school off? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the summer or like in the Easter time, like aro...
Uh-huh. when I lived in Washington, uh, Washington, D C, I never went to the Washington Memorial, and then when I went back to visit, I went to the Washington Memorial. You know, I've heard, we have a couple of friends that goes to Washington quite often, and that must be the thing. They really hadn't either. They went...
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, okay. So, but um, now, I don't know, but um, but let's see, when I was eleven I went also to the Caribbean. Oh. and, uh, then after that, I, my sister lives in Turkey, so when I was like fourteen, fifteen, I went, I went to Turkey. Oh, And this Christmas, I went to Turkey. But basically, it's a, ...
And, uh, we were never much of, uh, a very, uh, family thing, you know, made, like go skiing in Vermont or something. Uh-huh. That was, uh, that was a lot of fun. Yes. But, what happens is we used to fight a lot, so there's never much of a family family thing. You know, one of those hell family vacations. Oh, yes, but ...
that is, yes, And, and to me, you know, it's like, now I'm twenty-two, but I still feel, you know, it's like yeah, we never threw a football or something Uh-huh. and the way I was brought up, and he wants me now, he, like he, you know, like he wants to be best friends now Best friends, now. and it's very hard for me be...
and let's go out and do things together when I don't feel like it, you know Uh-huh. and so, that's that whole thing that he'll say when, like, like I've seen my uncle and his family, you know, does everything together, and you know, his kids are, you know, when his little girl was five years old and everything, they, u...
but their children does anything, we have to take them, and, you know to do it. Yeah. And that really gets kind of aggravating after a while because you're saying, Well, I work full time too, you know. Yeah, yeah, but, uh, it's just, it's just something that, you know, my theory is, you know, when, when you have kids a...
Yeah. first of all you're coming to me and let's see how we can get rid of the problem, you know, and that's uh, that's very, that's very hard to do, because once you're best friends with your parents, then, I think everything go a lot better. Uh-huh, yeah, I agree with you very much so. Now, we waited several years be...
yeah. He says yeah, but then I wouldn't have you, I go, yeah, but then you would have a lot of money That's right, but you can't take this money with us, though Yeah. that's how I keep looking at it. But, you know, like, four, I mean four children is expensive, especially when you consider like, especially for me, whic...
and they live at home you know, Uh-huh. and well, it costs two hundred dollars for books, but you know, seven hundred dollars a semester, a lot of people can spare that if they planned ahead, you know, like Oh, yeah, if you if you can, yeah. I mean, it's like, if you plan a year ahead, you can probably save up seven hu...
Yeah. Well, my dad wants me to go back. So. And you don't want to? No. No, no. No, because if you go back there, then you can never get out. Oh. Like you don't have any money to, to, get out. Oh. So, uh, and, uh, I was thinking, you know, like, Oh my God, you know, I go back there, and then, and I get married there, an...
He came to school up here, and then when he went down there, he was just so bad off, you know from not being able to stay up here that his life just went down the drain. Oh. Uh-huh. So. Well maybe something will open up for you. Yeah, I've been calling a lot of companies. There, some of them are interested. Well, at le...
Bye-bye. All right. Well, on this subject, I really hadn't had to deal with putting someone in there yet, but my mother's always been administrator of a nursing home Uh-huh. so I've always been involved, you know, in one. How do you feel about them, I mean, since you've kind of been close to that. Well, I've Well, I ca...
but he wasn't there very long before he died Uh-huh. but, um, I guess, um, the one time that I saw him there, you know, as far as the surroundings, that seemed okay. Uh-huh. But, um, we kind of thought that maybe they just wanted to give him some medication to sort of, you know keep him real out of it all the time Yeah...
Yeah. Yeah, I know, I've always, well, my sister's involved in one also, and I really think they really do a wonderful job. But still there's those little things that happens, you know Yeah. there really is, which I think, it's a wonderful place, you know, if it comes to that, you know, if you just can't take care of t...
but I think when the time comes, I, I hope to have the time to really look around, you know and pick one that I really think my mother would be happy at. Yes. Uh-huh, I think that's important, too, in fact there's a, I do too. Outside's awful deceiving sometimes you know. Yes. There's one close to where my mother is, b...
Off, yeah. but then, you don't want to go do that when you don't have to because like, uh, you have to give up your automobile or whatever. To, no. Uh-huh, and everything you worked so hard for all your life Yeah yeah. and if you're still capable of driving and doing those things, then you feel like, well, gee, I'm, yo...
that's way out of my reach. the expense of it all is, and, uh, what I, another thing I hate to see is when someone has a small amount of money, and they go into one of these places and they just eat it all up immediately. Oh, yeah. But those who don't have money can go in and get the same care. You know Uh-huh the very...
Yes. But, you know, what if. Yeah, my mother's seventy now, so naturally she's retired, but she's still on her own, I mean.
