WAYNE'S WORLD, hey man
And what's that other one where th... |
Uh?
I said you probably have some friends that have television
Yeah,

That's where I've seen it
because I've seen it off and on probably.
You know, I mean you're not totally out of the loop.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
We, we bug our we, you know,
one friend of ours got rid of his because we motivated him because we, you ... |
and you just end up doing it
but if you haven't been married that long, you know, you're doing other things
Is that on tape?
Is that on tape,

yeah.
That's funny.
Oh, my
what else is on
I don't know

Are you serious?
Uh-huh.
I've been here three years.
Deep one, you have a deep one,
yeah
Oh, wow,
that's scary.
It is, um,
at Purdue
I'm trying to think, I went to high school in Chicago, I'm trying to t... |
and, you know, other then that I'm sure they watched,
Do you know that I've never, I think other then accept on a commercial or on news coverage or something, like entertainment tonight I've never seen M T V?
Yeah.
You aren't missing anything
That's kind of what I've heard
It's pretty bad.
I mean that's,
yeah.
Especia... |
Well, I heard Dallas is pretty bad with the crime.
Well, you know, you know last night I was listening to the, uh, ten o'clock news.
Uh-huh.
And for the first five to seven minutes of a news broadcast all they were talking about was the number of shootings, the number of drug deals that were going on, and crime
and, an... |
Uh-huh.
And, and I just couldn't believe, um, you know, that
now I would hate to work at a fast food restaurant or even have my children work in one.
Uh-huh.
And, uh, because of, uh, the crime
that they would, um, kill people just for the few couple hundred dollars that they would have in there, uh, in their cash drawe... |
I have, uh, uh, you know, a real problem, uh,
even though I live further out in the suburbs, the crime follows you anywhere,
Uh-huh.
Everywhere.
it, it doesn't matter if you live in a small town or if you live in a small town or if you live in a large city like this.
Uh-huh.
Um, so, but, I just think about the all the ... |
Yeah.
So, I don't know, um, you know,
it's asking about what kind of steps we can take, um, uh, you know, just as citizens to try and, um, uh, protect ourselves.
I know I have, uh, um, home security system.
Uh-huh.
Plus, I have the, uh, the special lights on, on the outside.
And I have,
The ones that blink off and on.
... |
Two.
Oh
a boy or?
One of each.
Oh, that's what I've got,
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is scary,
are your are they babies or,
No,
no,
there teenagers now.
Oh, well good. That they're a comfort to you.
I've still got babies.
Okay
Yeah
I've got a, a four year old. He'll be four. And a three month old.
Oh, wow.
And it's scary sometimes.... |
That's a problem.
Yeah.
I'm used to living in, uh,
which
we don't live in the city,
Uh-huh.
but we just.
It's still more crowded than what I'm used to,
Uh-huh.
I'm used to having, you know, eight or ten houses on one street
and this one's got houses on either side and, you know, real close together,
Yeah.
Yeah.
and jus... |
I, I feel like that there's going to be, uh, less crime
or your neighbors going to be watching out for you, um, because it's, it's practically, it's in their backyard, too,
Right.
Oh, oh well,
we think our neighbors are stealing from us, actually my husband.
They, uh, well, the one of them's a teenager that lives next ... |
And they stole our tailgate off his truck
Oh goodness.
Well, we can't say they did
but,
Someone did,
We're pretty,
yeah,
Yeah.
it had to be somebody that, you know, could do it in the middle of the night
and, you know, they'd seen it earlier.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Yeah
I know that it's a real problem.
It doesn't matter where... |
uh-huh.
But they can be dangerous too.
Really.
I've thought about it.
Uh-huh.
You know, that this isn't like walking around and looking for somebody
you can get yourself into trouble.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I was going home the other day
and I saw, um, a guy who, who looked like he was breaking into a window,
Uh-huh.
an... |
Uh-huh.
and, I hear that, you know, it's if you lock yourself out of your house
and you try to get in your house
Uh-huh.
it will
you give
that half the time it takes you to break in.
Uh-huh.
Uh, a professional could break in, in, half that time.
Half that time,
wow.
I mean that's so scary.
Yeah.
It is.
So scary you, yo... |
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Um, I don't want any of those ones that will up the kids,
Right.
but I do want a German Shepherd.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Because my husband will leave every once in a while, for,
Uh-huh.
he works on the railroad.
Uh-huh.
And I'm scared here by myself.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
So that's uh,
we have a little dog now
bu... |
and I thought that, uh, you know, we'd have to have a big dog
but we doesn't need a big dog.
We got this little bitty dog that, uh,
part Dachshunds and part Cocker Spaniel.
Uh-huh.
And he, um, ease very protective,
The Cocker Spaniels are loud
Well that's, now that's one of the best deterrents for a robber is a noisy n... |
Right.
From what I've
you know, saw it on T V.
Oh, wow, gosh.
Well, it was nice talking to you.
Yeah,
it was.
Okay.
And I, maybe we'll meet up again.
Okay.
All righty.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Okay,
there's one, uh,
I meant living in Texas,
where you at?
I'm in Rome, New York.
In where Rome , New York?
Rome, New York,
|
yeah.
Rome, New York,
okay, well, Texas,
let me look at my husband and ask him, to some one else in
Yes,
they do
He's reminding me of where I live,
yeah.
Yeah,
I, I,
New York does not
Uh-huh.
but, uh, they're, they're trying to reinstate it
and the governor's opposed to it being that, uh, the Democrat that he is, and ... |
but, uh, social and ethics, socially and ethically I think it's a good idea, in certain crimes.
I'd, I would agree, with that even more,
I don't know if this is cold and too pragmatically
but I'm really offended, by the thought that I have to support, uh, just the existence of, you know, murder, rapist, you know, r... |
or is the world really that rotten
I, I don't know,
I know.
it's a hard question,
you look at the United States,
we have the largest murder rate of any developed, uh,
And then,
or, uh,
I don't know how Americans are about handguns
but, uh, yesterday a lady I work with just told me today that, uh, in the state capitol h... |
and that's with, uh,
you have to have, uh, oh, a police investigation,
you have to, have references,
Uh-huh.
and I know, because a friend of mine wanted to get one and listed me as a reference uh,
Uh-huh.
and I know it,
there is, it's very easy to get, uh, uh, you know,
there's no restrictions, whatsoever, on hunting ... |
Right.
and how they just
well, it hasn't been just
but it was in the, I think the second or third quarter of last year, nineteen ninety
Right.
and I had, you know, I knew some people that said, why are you glad,
you you know,
this is nothing,
and I said just maybe because he got a lot of media hype and all that
but I a... |
and, uh,
Yeah,
I mean, and that's just maybe because of the little more, they said celebrated that, uh,
he's not the only one, you know,
No.
you, you see somebody's mini series
and you hear about somebody's crime,
there was something on,
and this gets back to capital punishment,
but the man had stolen, uh, not stolen ... |
Surely, there's and end to, the situation.
Right,
in that particular instance, uh,
but I, but I don't, but I know it's on a
and all and be all,
Right.
that's the problem I have with it,
in Texas they think it's
and all and be all,
they think that if they electrocute or slip, or do something, or gas somebody, uh, that ... |
it's up state
it it's, uh, near Syracuse
is that
and, and, is that like near Albany or Syracuse,
it's about, uh,
well, I, I actually live in a Village of Sylvan Beach,
I work in Rome, uh,
What, what type of area is that,
It's more rural,
is that in term,
uh, it use to be use to be a, uh, uh, have a lot of heavy industr... |
not too bad.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
but I don't know that there's a real, uh,
Not the harsh criminality, that you find in,
no
there isn't the harsh crime and all.
yeah,
now, Dallas is a
I'm being very sarcastic,
it's just a great, uh,
on some days, uh, it's, uh, I don't know
the good ole boy network here is, uh, very strange,... |
and I just, you know, I'm originally from Pennsylvania which I think is basically like New York these days,
I'm not sure if they, I don't think they have capital punishment there.
I think, I think Pennsylvania may have just reenacted it
because I'm from, uh, from Pennsylvania also, just, uh, just outside, of Philadel... |
but, uh, I don't know
I think everybody would feel it is same way if they were touched by crime.
I think everyone would,
you and I think are honest and candid because we could do it on, in this, vehicle, uh,
Right.
but I think everybody if they were touched by it would say, if they had any sense of rage that could be ... |
and it was something, uh, it was basically the essence was does the crime fit the punishment
and when you see how many repeat offenders there are, uh, check, check fraud cases where they go to jail for five to ten years and, uh, rape, rapist getting their hand, just slapped, you know, and how it is based on the judge ... |
is that suppose to be.
yeah,
that would be even,
yeah,
I didn't even, think about that.
Yeah.
I'm not even sure, in the split among the fifty states,
do you know which way it is the ratio,
it's more than,
aren't, uh,
it's more that don't have it,
I think,
isn't that correct.
yeah,
there's more that don't have it
but am... |
Yeah,
I don't know if they've, they did something about
I'm not sure if Texas,
Minnesota,
I, they didn't, they didn't, they were
well, did they have it,
they were against it, uh,
Texas, as I said, has it
but I haven't been back here long enough to, to realize whether or not, if they've done it in the last,
Right.
Well... |
So, uh,
Well, yeah,
you are old enough.
Yeah.
But
But it was on the fringe.
just, uh, yeah,
exactly.
Had some friends that were, that were in it.
It ended, uh, when I was in, uh, college. In, uh, when I turned nineteen in nineteen seventy,
I cannot even remember at this point. Uh,
when I turned nineteen it was the year... |
I just know socially the impact it had here and what you hear in the media, you know. Uh,
I guess I think it was, uh, uh, not that great that we were in there, uh, in terms of for how long it lasted.
Right.
You know.
Uh-huh.
What do you think?
Well, I think it is, uh, basically the same way.
It is certainly has affecte... |
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
And in full faction,
Which, uh,
yeah.
Right.
Which really was not the attitude with Vietnam.
It was sort of, of a president's war rather than a country's war.
Yeah,
it just kind of dragged on.
Uh, I do not know how you were historically.
But I was a little bit older before I realized just how long it had ... |
in fact, because in terms of when your,
there is at least ten years between us,
so in terms of when you were in school, I am sure that it was, you know, the majority of your high school and junior high years.
Uh-huh.
Uh, one of the things I did not like was the weapons, the weapons, I can't even say it, the weaponry sy... |
That is true, uh,
Uh, monetarily too, I just do not think we have done enough for the, uh, Vietnamese people as a whole. Uh, in South Vietnam, in general, in helping them restore themselves.
Uh-huh
You know, and I don't know if it is because there are not any oil fields there
Yeah.
I do not know if they, uh, I do not k... |
explain it.
I did not, uh, get to live through it.
That the people that I know that it did, uh, felt very strongly.
Uh-huh.
Most of,
I work for a government contractor.
Uh-huh.
So most of the guys I work with, are, uh, oh, at least some of the guys I work with rather are veterans.
Uh-huh.
Oh, Vietnam?
And, uh, from Vie... |
Yeah.
In term of, uh,
Yeah.
The bitterness is more on a personal level than on a,
Yeah.
Personal level
and, and the finances, how they started. You know,
like air attacks and stuff like that dropped off like crazy.
Uh-huh.
Because the Congress would not approve, you know.
The money is
So, Yeah.
after,
yeah.
I mean, I t... |
So, I mean I remember, uh, right around then that's when I first started hearing about Vietnam.
But then as I got older and studied in school, I realized it was even going on before that.
Yeah.
You know, and you think to yourself, oh, my goodness, Eisenhower
Yeah,
right.
That sounds ancient,
yeah.
And I know, I know, y... |
Yeah.
So, well, I won't keep you any more.
Okay.
That is probably as about as much as we both know
But thanks for talking to me.
Yes.
Uh, were you calling from Texas?
Uh, yes,
is that where you are at?
No,
I am in Falls Church, Virginia.
Oh, I know where that is.
That is beautiful where you are at.
Yeah,
right in, righ... |
Been,
Yeah,
uh, Dallas, it is, uh, ninety-two degrees here today,
but at least the humidity is, uh, below forty percent, which makes it kind of like Phoenix.
Yeah.
It is about the same weather here.
Really?
Little bit, little bit cooler, like eighty-nine.
Well, you,
But, basically the same thing.
Yeah,
well you are not... |
Uh, do you want to give a start on it?
Well, I think for me,
I, I'm from Alabama.
Uh-huh.
South Alabama,
and so I grew up in the midst of civil rights movement. Uh, in a pretty liberal family for, for that area at the time.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And so I was very much a part of all the, uh you know, what was going on there.
... |
Now see, we didn't, we don't have any of that because, well, like, we live in the country in Clarion County
Uh-huh.
and, uh, we really didn't have things like that going on that we, you know, uh, ran into.
Uh-huh.
So we kind of, uh,
I guess when I think of social changes, I think, think more of, uh uh, visiting habits ... |
uh-huh.
And so we were always at family in different family members' homes.
Right.
Uh-huh.
But even now, you know, they don't even do that.
Well, they're so spread out,
I think has a lot to do with it.
Well, and they're so busy.
Uh-huh,
uh-huh.
People, people's personal schedules are so busy.
Uh-huh,
uh-huh.
Mainly bec... |
The majority,
yeah.
And, so that means, you know, a lot of a lot of the social visiting and all was, I think, probably instigated by women at that time.
Probably,
because when you work you don't really care to go out and visit as much.
Right.
And now,
That's right.
And, uh,
And now, uh,
I mean my mother does not work
a... |
And people don't feel comfortable just to drop in on people anymore.
Uh-huh.
There's a real,
You have to make arrangements or have an invitation or,
Right,
you know, you don't want to, You want to make sure it's okay
or,
Yeah,
yeah.
I guess we don't not to make, invade people's privacy or whatever.
Well, that could be ... |
Uh-huh,
uh-huh.
I'm just one of the two out of fifteen that don't live in the, you know, even in the same state.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Well, apparently there must be work available, for those that are,
Yeah.
There is in that area.
Uh-huh.
Because around here, there's really nothing for the young people,
no good, I mean there... |
Probably.
So, well, there's the main things I can think of.
I really tried to think of some other things
and I couldn't really,
Well, I think just, also, you know, the women's movement, too, has affected a lot of social change.
Yeah,
definitely.
Uh, people marry,
Some good and some bad
Yeah.
People marry later.
Uh-huh.... |
and even, you know, people are, seem to, a lot of people seem to be engaged for a long time before they get married because they do want to be financially set up.
Uh-huh.
Yeah,
well, even to get school finished, I think,
a lot of times it's better if they do finish their schooling before they settle in.
Because a marri... |
and one's one
Right.
and they've done well
Now, I wouldn't want to do it that way,
but, uh, she's quite happy
and the children seem quite adjusted.
Well, and they're, you know, they're, they're saying right now, we don't know what, we just now are seeing the effects of day care on the generation that's just now coming ... |
Uh-huh.
So, uh, but the others I'm too far away to help them out at all.
Where do they live?
Uh, well, I have a son and daughter that live in Pittsburgh. One in Maryland and one in Connecticut.
A son in Connecticut.
Well, they're not too far, though.
No,
but like Connecticut takes eight hours to drive home
and, uh, it'... |
or you,
No,
I can drive it all.
It's just me,
You're young.
So I can make it.
How old are you?
I'm thirty-five.
Okay,
well you're young enough yet to
Although it's, it's, it is pretty,
I don't know,
I don't enjoy it that much.
Uh-huh.
It's pretty much like get there
and,
It's work to get there.
Yeah.
It's just not that... |
Even with other people, I basically just don't like to drive that far.
Uh-huh.
Now my son,
they, they, flew,
he rebuilt a Aranca Chief, airplane,
and they flew down last weekend.
They came down in it.
And it still took a long time because it's not a fast, it's not a high-speed airplane.
Uh-huh.
But they enjoyed in thor... |
I am recently retired
to that means I have a lot of time to watch the news on T V.
How do you gain your news?
I guess the, I get the WASHINGTON POST
Okay.
and that is a pretty big newspaper
and I think that's almost exclusive me, my first of the news.
Though I have the radio on when I go to work, I don't think the news... |
So, what more do we need to discuss tonight?
That seems like a very short one.
Right.
I think that, you know, we, we've resolved the issue
and that's what we were asked to do.
Well, I can discuss a lot of the news that we have,
but, uh, I feel that that's not part of our responsibility.
Right.
Right.
So thank you for c... |
I, I watched what went on, um, with the TWENTY TWENTY show, I don't know if you saw that a few days ago that, that talked about nursing homes,
and actually they specifically talked about some in the area where I am, here in Texas,
and
Oh, you knew of the homes, then.
Pardon?
You knew of the homes themselves?
Well, I,
n... |
and, of course, that makes sense,
but how do you think they would feel, I should say, about moving from where they have lived most of their life into a whole new, new home situation?
Well, actually, I have that kind of situation, because my mother lives with me,
and she's eighty-seven
Uh-huh.
Oh, okay.
and, uh, from th... |
It's hard to accept the fact that you're unable to pursue life, at the level that you did before,
isn't it?
Yeah,
I think that's very true.
Yeah.
Um, on the other hand, it takes on almost a, a switch of a mother child relationship.
It is different.
Uh.
I had that almost similar situation.
My mother lives in an apartmen... |
I don't know,
my mother feels uncomfortable around my sister,
and my sister's uncomfortable because her mother's there
Uh-huh.
and I guess it's just because they're there all the time.
Yeah.
So it's, it puts, has put pressure on both of them from that point of view.
So that's, that's kind of bad news.
And by the same t... |
Well, that's got to be a big adjustment for someone that's, as you say, lived on a farm for sixty years,
and then go to something like that.
Yeah,
after all, their, their life is so totally different
because in those early days, the food, they had to make it from scratch, so to speak.
Uh-huh.
I mean, you raised your ow... |
I was trying to think of some while they were calling you. Uh,
I like Friday,
what is it,
is it Friday or Saturday night shows
I think it's Friday night.
Uh-huh,
yeah.
All the, uh, the one with the two little girls in it, what's it called.
Yeah,
uh, oh,
Or three little girls.
Yeah,
the, the two twins play the, the twin... |
FULL HOUSE.
Yeah,
there you go.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I really like that show.
Yeah,
that is good.
I, I like, uh,
we have cable.
I really like watching the old NICK AT NITE shows, you know. Where you get to watch DRAGNET and MISTER ED
Oh.
and, uh, we, we can watch those all night sometimes if,
DONNA REED
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Uh, la... |
just, you know, controversy and,
Which which one does, which ones do you like?
Just really whatever.
Uh-huh.
Just as long,
it depends on the subject actually.
Right.
Where, where it's more interesting.
Uh-huh.
Some of them get pretty boring
but,
Yeah.
Yeah,
uh, there's that guy,
I think it's out of Dallas,
his name is,... |
Maury Povich?
no,
he's black
and has a bald head
and his first name starts with an M.
Huh, let's see.
Oh, it's like,
his first name's like Marlo or Marlin,
I can't remember his name.
Anyway, he always has like really strange shows like, uh, uh, male strippers or female strippers or just really sensationalistic, you kno... |
I'm, I don't watch T V that much, uh, anymore.
It seems like, uh,
I'm going to school right now
so,
Oh, yeah,
where do you go to school?
B Y U.
Oh, really?
Yeah,
so, and I'm working, too,
so everything keeps me pretty busy.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
But,
I'm going to U T D here in Dallas.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
My dad taught there fo... |
What did he teach?
Uh, speech pathology.
Oh, that's what I'm majoring in.
I'm a graduate student in speech.
Oh, wow!
Yeah,
yeah.
No way.
How long have you been there?
Uh, this is my first semester.
Oh, okay,
so you wouldn't know him.
Yeah.
Who, Who, who, who, what, when did he teach?
He, Uh, he taught about a year ago.... |
but, uh, he worked there for like fifteen years and then part time U T D at night.
Oh, yeah.
And, and then they stopped funding the program there. Uh,
Uh-huh.
and so now he's at Texas Women's University.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, is he teaching speech pathology there?
Uh-huh.
Okay,
what's his name?
Allen Bird.
Bird?
Uh-huh... |
and he has, he has some like different programs out,
like I don't know what they're called,
but they're like,
and he has like little stuffed animals with them and like little cards and stuff.
Uh-huh.
I don't know that,
Yeah,
okay,

yeah,
he has a test, he has a testing, yeah,
a testing battery.
He uses real,
yeah,... |
Uh, I was, I am studying nursing
but I'm thinking about changing right now
Uh-huh.
I just, I don't know,
and it's really tough to get into the program down here
so if I don't do that, if I decide to stay in nursing I'll probably come and go to T W U.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I'm living in the T W U dorm across from Collie... |
that's, that's a tough, that's a tough, uh, field, though.
Yeah.
Nursing is.
I, I have a lot of respect for those people.
I mean, they've spent a lot of hours studying
Uh-huh.
So, you're at Baylor?
No,
I'm at B Y U, in Utah
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Brigham Young.
Yeah.
I see,
all right.
So, but, I get to come home at, on the ni... |
it's in Salt Lake City, right?
It's in Provo actually.
Oh, is it?
But yeah,
I really, I really like it out here.
Do you?
But, I've been, I, I've been away too long.
Uh-huh.
I'm from Colorado,
so I, I've been away from there too long
Uh, how, how,
Okay,
all set.
Good morning
Good morning.
Let's see,
music, um,
well, I p... |
What do you play?
Um, clarinet is my primary instrument,
and I also play a little bit of saxophone, flute and piano when I get the opportunity, which isn't very often.
Uh-huh.
Really,
that's too bad
How about yourself?
I play, uh, the violin and play trumpet
Uh-huh.
Uh.
and I run a municipal band
and I sometimes conduc... |
was about forty-five miles away
Uh-huh.
and I play in a slightly smaller one called the Lockhaven Symphony and Community Orchestra.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
So are you a professional musician?
No,
I'm, uh, just retiring from Penn State University
Uh-huh.
only I, I should, should have been.
I spend about half my time playing mus... |
well, we rehearse once a week.
We generally have a concert every other week
and,
You have one that often.
Yeah
That's amazing because I, I, I have it set up here that we have at least six to seven rehearsals per concert.
That's a lot.
No,
we sure don't.
Wow.
Well, one thing is, we have a summer summer series,
and every... |
I mean, you, you must back up and play some of the music twice.
Oh yes,
definitely, we really do.
You know, you get your little Sousa book
and you just flip through it, and that sort of thing.
Oh, okay.
So your, you don't play pretty well a full concert band music most of the time then.
It really depends on who shows u... |
Seventy.
Yeah,
there's a lot.
Holy mackerel,
that's.
But, on any given night there's not seventy you know,
Uh-huh.
it alternates quite a lot.
Boy,
that is a huge organization,
that's great.
Yeah,
it really is.
Because about the best I can normally hope for is about fifty in, in the band I have here.
Oh.
Yeah,
well.
But... |
And so they want to play things that, uh, push them to do.
So that's why we have to work real hard when we get a concert together.
Uh-huh.
We have about four concerts per year indoors and two or three that we play outside.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And the last one we did was in a large, uh, mall close here,
we played Christmas ... |
I think they have ten in the summer, you know, one, one week after the other.
I think they're like Monday nights and they don't have rehearsals during that time period.
Wow,
that.
Are you just saying you, you sight read every concert?
Uh, well, it's not really sight reading when you've done it, you know, again and agai... |
well, it's more of a, I think it's very much more of a social group than anything else, you know.
Okay.
And, and people always bring refreshments for after rehearsal and hang around for an hour or so
Okay.
and, That's probably why we get so many people.
Uh-huh.
Do any of your, you, in your group get paid for any of thi... |
it's a similar thing.
Yeah.
I can't remember what they call it,
but the same type of thing.
Uh-huh.
Um, but we do get an awful lot of music, you know,
we can borrow music from any of the area colleges
Yes.
or, you know, if some, some group just isn't going to play any more, they'll just give us their music, and that ty... |
and I, uh, personally, I don't approve of it for two reasons.
Number one is that I think that, uh, the federal government has a problem with the deficit right now,
and if they were to administer this, they would, uh, get us more and more into debt, further than we can ever get out ourselves.
Number two I think that the... |
Okay.
It, uh, just because it seems that, uh, health insurance costs are sky rocketing, well, as fast as the national deficit perhaps
Oh, yeah.
and so that,
and that's a that's a vicious cycle, of course.
But what,
What you're Yeah,
so what you're saying though, is instead of having the national government, uh, go... |
The, well, as it is now, the middle and upper classes are paying more than their share for the health care of the whole country because they're the only people that can afford health insurance
and so that the other people have no health insurance
and, you know, they'll get medical care anyway at least in emergencies
an... |
Uh-huh.
Uh,
Yeah,
well, I think,
Okay
Yes.
First off, speaking of air pollution I'm coughing .
Um, I'm not sure what contributes to air pollution exactly.
I find it hard to believe that a lot of the hair sprays and things that we use cause the air pollution.
Yeah,
it, it.
It doesn't seem like,
but I guess when you thin... |
Uh-huh.
and there's mountains, uh, you know, all around.
But sometimes I think tend to hold a little bit of it in, you know.
Oh, yeah.
Really, it's, it's fairly clean, um,
I think it's a fairly clean city compared to some,
but, you know how quite a,
But you think the mountains and the, are kind of a barrier?
Yeah
Oh .
... |
Yeah.
We, we have a real fog problem. Um.
Um.
The last few years just in, through December and January it, it really is foggy and, and seems to just, um,
it's kind of like it, it just stays for a month quite foggy.
Uh-huh.
But, uh, gee,
I don't, I don't know what else.
I
I know cars
I
yeah,
I guess I've never really, u... |
that's, that's what I see burning a lot.
I'm not exactly sure what they're burning.
I know, uh-huh, there are some oil companies,
and I'm sure that that contributes a lot
Uh-huh.
just the burning of the
Aren't they supposed to be coming out with some sort of, uh, special gas or something that doesn't emit certain chemi... |
I know,
a Rabbit's one, diesel
Uh-huh,
the diesel.
the diesel cars.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah,
they seem to put out quite a bit
I know a lot of people with diesels
Huh.
truck, you know.
Oh.
But, um.
Well, do you, um, are you working for T I?
No,
I don't.
Oh, okay.
I, I work in Waco at a T V station.
Oh.
My mother works at T I.
|
Oh, uh-huh.
That's why,
And that's how you got involved.
Yeah,
yeah.
Yeah.
You work at T I?
No
Oh, okay.
we, we have, um,
my husband's sister lives in Dallas actually.
Okay.
And they kind of got it, us involved that way.
Oh, okay.
Yeah
That's interesting.
but. Well, I don't, I don't know.
What else causes air pollution... |
noise.
Noise causes air pollution
I've got,
speaking of noise, you can probably hear my little.
Yeah,
that's why I thought of it.
Yeah,
he is quite noisy.
Yes,
gee,
I don't know.
I know that, um,
don't dumps, you know, where you dump all your trash in the, uh.
Oh.
Yeah.
Landfills.
Yeah,
I'm sure that does.
I know they'... |
and I, I think they burn a lot there, too.
Yeah.
We just had a big, uh, thing here in Waco.
They're needing to open a new landfill, or to expand onto the old landfill.
And, uh, it's, it's really been a big fight because a lot of the people that live by the landfill don't want it expanded, because they're thinking that ... |
and,
Oh, is there.
Yeah.
So the parents were really, really upset.
Worried about their their kids getting, huh.
Yeah.
They, they've been fighting over it for the last year,
and they just now approved it.
So they're going to try an appeal or something.
We could talk about my favorite subject
Cooking and food, huh.
Food
... |
It was horrible
Oh dear.
I don't know if the cake was horrible or if I made it horrible.
Oh, probably not.
I, uh, have, uh, a bread recipe that is real easy that everyone always really does like. That, uh, doesn't require kneading the dough.
Uh.
Oh.
Hey
And, it is always, it is wonderful.
It is,
and what is funny is th... |
and you can let it rise in the refrigerator and then punch it down, and then, uh, make your rolls.
They really are good
Wow.
and they are so easy to do.
Uh-huh.
That is
seems like every time that we have a dinner party, or that we are going some place where everybody is suppose to bring something and they have had my r... |
And I just thought it was so strange,
because I never, I thought that that was what celery seed was for.
Was for tuna fish.
Oh, how funny.
And so, but everyone really, really loved the tuna fish
and they just couldn't get over the fact that I used celery in it
and it just surprised me.
Celery and onion and,
