and sometimes my daughter will come along on her little bicycle. Uh, and then moving up, I run in the mornings, Uh-huh not every morning, it probably averages about two days a week Right. and then with my wife I actually go to the gym and lift weights, which isn't, I understand, quite exercising, but it's along the lin...
Because I really don't like to exercise, I think that's the basic point of it, is I'm not, I, I don't enjoy it if I know that it's exercise, Right. but if it's like a social activity or a recreational activity, I don't mind Right. so I have to disguise it, it's like feeding little babies food and telling them it's some...
right. So, I'm thirty-two years old which is probably different than yourself Uh-huh. Right, I'm twenty-two. and so, it's interesting that as you get older you begin to understand that you need to exercise. Right. My job at Texas Instruments, I have to sit in front of a computer all day and make phone calls, so, that, ...
that all, I, I do all that. Yeah, we, I'm sure, I will do, I'm doing that more and more than I used to Yeah. I'm getting better about this knowing that I need exercise and doing it, but it's still at the task stage. Right. Is it a pleasure for you, or are you, Well, it's a, something as simple as a walk with my wife is...
oh, and the running, and I enjoy that too. Uh-huh Year, I've been running since high school on track teams and the like, Oh. so, running, I, I'm at that point which you probably get to after about six months of dedicated running where you don't feel your muscles any more Uh-huh. Right, and you don't think about the pai...
the the, uh, weight lifting on the other hand is actually, you know, I think I look better. Right. I have just a, I don't, I'm not a huge person, I'm just a regular looking guy, but just going to lift weights on occasion with my wife, and my wife thinks the same thing about both me and herself that get that little bit ...
that's it, I do the occasional push up and sit up. I haven't really brought myself to go to the the gym, because that's very stressful to me, Yeah. because I feel, I felt real competitive there, and I need to find some place I could go and not feel like there's all these people who are just huge and hulking that are .....
Uh-huh. That's a good idea, but I do have my ride, we have a stationary bicycle and a stair step machine here at the house. Oh, is that right. I'll do those once in a while just you know, like at eleven thirty when Love Connection's on and I can't sleep, Right. Yeah. Right. I'll get up and stair step for half an hour T...
When your life becomes sedentary is when you have to make yourself a plan, Uh-huh. and what's real funny about plans is that there's a struggle between, uh, when you, when you add something to your life, when you add a plan to your life, something else has to go away Uh-huh. and that's the hard decision, is, okay, if I...
Yeah, I guess if you care, or if your wife, your future wife, uh, gives you a reason to care which helps Right. Well, I hope so. Well, I think we covered it. Yeah, sounds good. Nice talking with you, Craig. Yeah, you too. Have a nice day. You too. Good day. Bye. Bye. Okay, what do you think is the biggest problem? The ...
I don't know, to me it seems like the schools are reflecting society in a bigger way you know, because, I mean, the general values that we're teaching kind of conflict with what we expect out of people in school, I mean, Uh-huh. Yeah. Is it the, do you think it's the values that they're teaching in school or the values...
you're going to carry, carry with, carry to school, uh, out into the world, you know, what you learned at home, and, uh uh, I think that that part of that showing up now, you know, with, with things because kids I think have probably less respect than for, for people than in, in other things, than we may have seen in t...
I mean everybody that went to a Catholic school had, uh, at least the parents did, at least, had education as a priority like you said and kind of had a whole conducive atmosphere to it. Right, Right. And I wonder if, not so much that, uh, Well, I think it's, like you say, it's, it's the socioeconomic mix there, you kn...
and, uh, maybe they pick up on that. Yeah. And then from the other aspect, um, maybe the, uh, school itself has, has, has more emphasis on, uh, trying to do a good job because the classes may be smaller, uh, they may be able to, to give the resources that's needed to, uh, to do a good job. Yeah, I mean, and what do you...
I wonder, a lot of times, you know, people, I mean, a lot of times people literally tear apart their own schools vandalism wise, Right. and you get, I mean, it's been a while since I been in high school. They're even in grade school when they do that. But I can't remember exactly what goes through their head when they'...
and I, I look at it more from the civil side of things that juries have any sense of, of the value of, and worth, so that they have real problems when it comes to, uh, uh, they can find guilt or innocence Right. uh, but then when you quantify things and that might also hold criminal trials for how many years is appropr...
Yeah and, And so how do you relate as to whether this particular armed robbery was a, you know, worth five years or twenty-five. Right, that's, yeah. And, and most people that do sit on juries, some people just sit on them once in their lifetime, you know, if they're that lucky sometimes Or, you know, what, whatever th...
Uh-huh. and sometimes that's not real fair either, though so, Well, one of the others things that gets me on, on the juries is that often in the newspaper, I, I tend to hear two things that, well, that go on. One is, you often see in the headlines the big numbers. Uh-huh. Uh, and many of those get overturned or get red...
I mean it's embarrassing and all this other stuff Uh-huh. and they, they're put on like, they were the ones that caused it or whatever, but, to me, when you do the crime, then you should pay for whatever you did, and, and you shouldn't be able to go on the lesser charge. I don't, I don't think that's right because all'...
It's what information is presented and, uh, I don't know that juries have a right to know more because in a sense we call those safeguards, but often juries hear only a fraction of the, of the story when they have to decide guilt or innocence. And to me, how can you, how can you make a decision if you don't have all of...
Well, that's just like that old witness game, well, it's a game kids play, too, but, uh, somebody did it, just for your train of thought where they, they showed something and they asked, they, there were, uh, like four people, Hello. Hello. My name is Nola. I'm in Plano, Texas. Hi Nola, I'm Steve. I'm in Dallas, Texas....
Okay So, um, let's see. social changes, Social changes. what's that mean? That sounds like not as recent social changes, too, like back to the sixties or fifties, I guess Yeah. Think we can handle that? Yeah. Yeah, I definitely, I mean there's plenty of things to talk about there. That's a, Okay, uh, shall I go ahead a...
Uh, I was hoping that you would but, oh, Oh In social changes is that, uh, it seems to me that, uh, That involves a lot of different areas, I think. Does that, Yeah. Like a lot, it seems like the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, is even more, true today. You know? Yeah, there is a a big diffe...
I think, uh, in my situation, I have three children and we're, uh, home schooling. So, education, you know, things that relate to education, um, are things that I think about a lot. Um, I think that, and I think that involves social changes a lot. Uh, for instance I think the schools are having more and more problems b...
Yeah. Yeah. Oh it's, well that, that, I mean that's very, young for a baby. That's really sad. I think that a lot of people, and they think they have to but, Yeah. I, I think that if they really tried, they wouldn't have to. And, I, I think that if they didn't that, and it became more of the standard not to that, uh, ...
trying to do all these programs like Headstart and things like those. You wouldn't have to do that if mothers would stay home with their children and do things with them, you know. Yeah. Um, there's, and I think, uh, a lot of it is selfishness. People have become very selfish. They don't want to stay home with the kids...
No. I , I have, uh, one going into fourth grade and one starting kindergarten and then a preschooler. And one on the way Oh I Oh, well you sound busy So you're teaching them, completely Yes. Yes. Huh. And I think, uh, it's becoming, uh, more popular then it has been for a while, I think. Home schooling's always been a...
Well, I think it's going to, change in the homes before anything changes anywhere else. When they're young, Yeah The home is the base, it's the basic unit. And that's the, where it all starts and if we don't start making changes in the homes and maybe part of that is educating parents better. Yeah. And educating, uh, ...
And yet, uh, more people die of it, and yet the funding has already, uh, exceeded, AIDS has more money than, uh, breast cancer Than, well, that's interesting, isn't it, yeah. So, uh, I mean, if it's true. I, I've, I've always heard these things. I've never bothered to dig it out and make sure, but, uh, I've heard it on...
What did you think about that idea? Well, I, I kind of, I thought, well, that, that might be possible since there are a lot of men in control of that kind of thing. But then I got, I got to thinking, the, the number one killer of men seems to be the prostate and there's only one test that just recently got developed, u...
so give it a tenth of that and, and just keep doling it out that way or, Well, I'm, I'm glad I'm not the one that's, that's in charge of, of making those decisions. They, uh, you wish that there could just be money for all these problems because they're all so serious, you know. I mean it's not so serious, I guess, unt...
Uh, it seems like there's so much that goes to things that don't really do a whole lot of good. I mean, yeah, they're kind of nice. But, we have such an affluent society , society that I wonder if, if we took a little from here and there and the other if we might wind up with a, a cure for just about everything. Just c...
well I travel, I do about forty percent of my time is on the road. So you eat all your meals out. I eat a lot of meals out, well I'm also married and my wife is an A one cook, but she enjoys eating out, so I have to share it with her. And, uh, actually it's very easy for me, because I, I have a make it a practice when ...
So where are your, what are the places, you know, memorable places you've eaten? Uh, oh you okay you name it. Let's see, you've got one down in, uh, down near, uh, Addison, uh, there's two restaurants that I particularly like that I, every time I get into Texas or I get into Atlanta, Georgia, I make sure I go, and that...
No this is the country this is the country Panama, all right? I get it. Right. And, uh, but I have gotten to quite a few. And I go to Canada and get quite a few restaurants up there. I, you know, and I know the locations, and I know the places, but I, lot of times I don't remember the names. I'd have to go back through...
there's just, it's just lots of good Mexican restaurants here. Uh-huh. But in the Addison, well about everything that you could want in Dallas is in the Addison area, anyway. Right. I mean, now there's a new Italian place Sfuzi Okay, I have a, that has a great, I've not been there, but it has a great reputation as one ...
I've been there. Um, one down there is the, uh, I think it's an old schoolhouse. Oh, the, yeah, the, I know, no, I don't like that place. Well, I like the food, but I don't care for the clowning around. See, uh, uh, yeah, I, I, when I went, I thought the food was not good. Oh, really? Oh I've had, Magic Time Machine is...
but then I just thought the food was over priced for what it was. Uh-huh. Yeah, all right, well, that's great. Uh, no, Italian is fine. I make it a habit of always going out to Pasta Oggi's which is right down there in Do you like, like Southwestern? Oh, yeah. Well, now there's a good place in Addison too called Blue M...
Good. And, um, Well, this is great. This is going to give me some more places to go. A whole new, dining experience. Okay, fine. I guess our time's about up, so. Well, they haven't beeped us, have they? Uh, well, they don't always. Oh, I thought sometimes they say, you know this is three minutes or whatever. Yeah, I ...
It was a pleasure talking to you. Well, thanks for calling for helping us out. Okay. You bet, Bye-bye. Bye-bye. So do you have any recycling programs there? Um, I don't really think we have anything in the works as of yet. Uh-huh. Uh, we're a pretty small town and, uh, the closest thing we have are bins like out in fro...
and it's just as standard as a, a regular trash can that they come by and pick up and dump. Yeah. And, uh, just along with a trash can you have this, this green plastic bin, and you put your bottles in it and paper and, uh, you know, all those things that aluminum. You know, anything that can be recycled you just put i...
and, uh, Oh, that would be good. Yeah, things of that nature. So, I guess when you live in a bigger city it, it really becomes, uh, necessary. Yeah, see, it's not anywhere near that. Uh, we, you know, as far as our little pitch in to it we do recycle our aluminum cans. Oh, yeah. But that's as far as we go because I tak...
see we don't have anything here in Belton. It's, it's a pretty small little town. Yeah, I remember my grandparents and I used to always get out there on the road and pick up beer cans. Yeah. And, uh, So, you know, that's about all the, that we're doing here. Uh, they're, uh, getting a little bit more on, they need to a...
I don't know if it's done by a private company or not. It may be. But, uh, they just go around to each, uh, door and pick it up. Wow, that's excellent. Yeah. That's good. Let's see. Oh, and every year, of course, the phone books um, they tell everybody across the city to, uh, put all their phone books in, uh, the, uh, ...
It just, you know, there's not a whole lot. huh. And there are, you know, some places that will set up you know for old newspapers and stuff. Uh-huh. But usually it's, it, it hasn't caught on yet. I'm hoping it will soon. Uh-huh. Well, the thing about newspapers and paper, recycled paper is actually very expensive. Yea...
They may be coming out ahead. But I know, for a fact that the paper, uh, on that end they're not, you know. Yeah. It's just good to recycle but it's, uh, not to their advantage. Yeah. And it costs less. Huh. Well, I can't think of anything else. I can't either. Because we're, we're at a very, you know, beginning stages...
Bye. Supposed to talk about boats. Have you got a boat No, I don't, do you? No, I don't. I, I've had one for quite a few years, but I, I've not had one the last couple of years. Oh, really? But, it's something I've always enjoyed. Do you, do you like boating? Yeah, I love them Yeah, but, uh, my children all have been g...
Well, I heard, that's the second happiest day of your life What's that? The day you sell your boat. Oh, no, now I loved having a boat. I loved having it. No, No, I just heard that. That's just a joke, I guess. Oh, okay First best day is the day you get and the day you get rid of it but, I'd like to have one. Oh, yeah I...
I guess for the cost of them you don't really, it's hard to get, I don't know, I felt like I got my money's worth out of mine I had bought it used and kept it, uh, I don't know, ten years and got within, uh, three hundred dollars of what, when I sold it, of what I'd paid for it and had it all those years, you know. Uh-...
And, uh, but I but I did enjoy owning a boat, Yeah, I like to fish. would recommend it to anybody. And, uh, uh, but, uh, and now sailing, I've never been sailing. Have you been sailing? Uh, yeah, I've sailed some. I just like, uh, fourteen foot Sunfish. Uh-huh. Nothing big. I've never tried. I've always thought, I bet ...
I've never wanted to bad enough to make any effort to do it, you know. Yeah. And, at this stage of the game, I'm not that interested in it anymore. Oh, okay. We go out with friends on the, we go to the lake just about every weekend down at Mount Vernon and parents' next door neighbors have a big barge Okay. and we go o...
It's such a pretty lake down there. We'd enjoy it so much and, I'd say, well, I'm going to leave the boat out, because, uh, we'll probably do this again tomorrow It got to where the, tomorrow the boat was still sitting there and we never did go out again and I'd have to go load it up the next day. And, Where is that? U...
it's just a hundred miles from here. Huh. What do you take, I Thirty-five? No, you go down I, uh, uh, you, uh, you go down, uh, yeah, thirty, thirty. Thirty. It's east of here. Oh, okay. East of here. Hundred miles due east of here. All right. And, uh, Yeah, it just we just moved down here a couple years ago, so, Did y...
Oh, we love it up there Well, good. That's where I grew up Yeah. So, Uh-huh. But, uh, we're, we like it down here pretty good. Oh, I think you'll like it better, but, of course it's hard when you don't have any family around. Yeah, we got two kids that are under two Yeah. and it's kind of tough when my folks call and t...
Uh-huh. So, Uh, there are supposed to be, uh, some people moving down here from Colorado Springs for T I. Oh, really? Yeah, supposed to be. Yeah, that's right. Uh, Do you work at T I? I don't, no. Uh-huh. Uh, a friend of mine's dad is, was a program manager up there Uh-huh. and he just moved down here to what do you, I...
I don't either. My wife does Okay. But, it's a good company. But, anyway, we're supposed to be talking about boats, so back to boats. So, tell me the last time you went for a boat ride. Well, actually, I went, uh, canoeing down the Brazos this weekend. Oh, my gosh, now that had to be, that's boating. That had to have b...
Is that silk screening, or, Um, no, I'm, have material that I cut out, and then you, um, there's this stuff called Wonder Under that you that you iron it on and then you iron that on the T shirt, and you paint around it. Oh, I see. So, it's real fun. I started doing it as a, um, just something fun to do, and now I'm se...
That's right, you know. Give you a little Christmas money, any way. That's correct. Well, what are your hobbies? Well, I, I kind of have hobby fads, I guess. Uh-huh. When I was growing up I was, was into coin collecting, and that dropped off about the time I hit puberty, I guess, and then, my hobbies in high school wen...
No, you just kind of, all I did is, uh, I bought the car and then, uh, you know, you can, I, uh, was just in a supermarket and I seen a, a magazine for, you know, basically it, it was called MUSTANG MAGAZINE and and so I bought it Uh-huh. and they had, uh, some names, some companies that sold mustang parts, and I just ...
Well, that's true, that's true. Well that sounds neat. Well, gee I guess there really isn't too much to talk about on hobbies. Let's see. That, that about covers mine and T shirt making about covers yours. Well, let's see, I've done other hobbies. I'm a hobby person. I've always done a lot of craft stuff. I always have...
I started collecting music boxes. I guess that's a hobby. Yeah that is. So. That's interesting. How many music boxes do you have? Probably uh, about twenty. Do they all play different songs Uh-huh. or do some of them play the same song? They, they all play different songs. Well, that's neat. What's the most expensive o...
I usually get them for Christmas gifts or, and like when people go, you know, to, on trips or something. Well, that's interesting. It used to be tea spoons, was the thing. That's true I never collected those, never collected those. Well, that's interesting, music boxes. I have dolls from all over too. That I started wh...
and we went all, it's kind of a, it's kind of to establish better rapport with the different countries, and, um, it was called People to People, and we'd stay in people's homes, and then we got to also tour big cities, and I really enjoyed it. Was that in high school Uh-huh or was that a college thing? in was in high s...
So you, you haven't been back to Europe since then, huh? No, I always thought I would, but who knows now. I got married and, maybe some day. Maybe it's one of those retirement things There you go. Well, does you husband, uh, what does he think of your, uh, T shirts and, Well, he likes it all right. He's been pretty goo...
Okay, well that's good. Uh-huh. If you had, uh, no financial requirements, if you could buy any car in the entire world, no matter what it cost, what would you buy? Oh, um, I think I'd still go with the Cadillac. Do you? I don't, I don't care about a big fancy, fancy Which type of Cadillac, uh, is your favorite? Oh, I ...
It's always had it's own unique look. Uh-huh. Well, I've always liked that. I liked the, the one year they had, a couple years they had where the trunk head would look like belt buckles across the back of it. Oh, yeah. Right. I thought, now that looks sharp Yeah. that looks real sharp. Well, I think the ones now with a...
they are, and, uh, they, they're just always, they, they look like they're sturdy you know, Uh-huh. they look like they're very sturdy, and you don't have to worry that much about, um, getting, you know, hurt like you would in a small one. Right. Now they've got a unique uh, feature in them now. If, uh, if you have a f...
well that's great, that's great, Yeah, yeah. So you say you've always have preferred General Motors products . Yeah, I do. Um, I, I go for things, you know, built in the United States rather than foreign countries. Right. Help our economy and, What kind of, uh, General Motors cars have you had in the past? Mostly Oldsm...
Has that been the Cutlass or the Sierra? Uh, no, the Ninety-Eight. The Ninety-Eight, okay. Uh-huh, yeah. So. Well, I don't think, uh, let's see, the Ninety-Eight, now that's got that big V eight engine in it, doesn't it, doesn't it? Well I don't know. The one we have has a six. Has a little V Six? Uh-huh. Okay. But it'...
and I've had, now I have twenty-three thousand miles on it. Oh, that's great Yeah. that's great. That's always nice to get, uh, reliability in a product. Especially when you're spending, you know, anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars for, for a single item. You know, Right. you just don't want any hass...
and so, um, Right. but I, I, I would go with the General Motors any time. Well, I've always been a Ford man, myself. Oh, really. Yes. Oh. But that's all right. Yeah, well sure. You know, it's American made too which is good. Right. Uh-huh. Um, but I, I've, ever since I guess I, I was growing up, my dad's always had For...
Uh-huh. I honestly think I would die before my truck would, keel over on me. Yeah. So. Well, I, yeah, those are good products also. Um, let's see, My T V down. Okay. I'm sorry. Uh, invasions of privacy. Uh-huh. Uh, what most annoys me are all sorts of phone calls trying to sell me things. Uh-huh. All, sorts of hours c...
just what went into the something about the random dialers that just dial phone numbers. Uh-huh. I guess in some cases they just consider pickup your, your phone and, and, and not let you use your phone for a while whether you hang up on them or not. Uh-huh. Um, but I thought I saw something about it having some kind o...
but I just don't like those nine hundred numbers. So, I've excluded those. So, uh, I used to deal with, But isn't, it does not stop you from the, uh, dialing services. What are dialing services? Where they, uh, intend to sell you things. Oh, oh, where people just, just call you. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And leave again that ca...
How did Radio Shack work? If you go in and buy anything they want your phone number. And I don't think they're going to call me and ask me how it's functioning, and, and I don't give that out. I have an unlisted number so I don't, Yes, that's, that's, that's one solution but you, you, you nonetheless often get, get peo...
and they have a whole list of addresses and list of phone numbers. Uh-huh. I'll be thinking in mind the address is , um, is there anything you can do about that like give out a phony phone number? Uh, no. Not really. Um, no. Uh, some of that unfortunately is legal. So they can't stop people from, uh, advertising and th...
Well, they, you know, that's, that's the telephone is not the only invasion of privacy. You've got the holy rollers and you've got, uh, all kinds of people knocking on your door and, who want to, uh, either direct you to the right path or, or want to, uh, sell you, uh, paper routes, uh, whatever, so, um, you know, it'...
I don't think it's going to happen either, but I wish it were because I'm a, I got my bachelor's in mechanical engineering. Uh-huh. I'm at grad school now in acoustics and all we do is metric stuff. You're now in what? Acoustics. Acoustics, uh. Yeah, so everything's metric and then you go to read some order book or som...
a lot of industry out there is doing metric stuff because they have to. They have to for international trade. Yeah. But, I guess it's, it's easier to switch back and forth than it used to be, uh, because of, of, uh, of computers coming into everything. Uh-huh. Yeah, I don't think switching back and forth is that big a ...
Yeah, I, it's pretty tough when you get everything confused, though. I think two systems is worse than one, though Because, I know, we do a lot of problems and things and they're half english and half metric and you, you make more mistakes doing all the conversions than you would doing the problems. just get one. I pre...
There's this one sign's kind of funny. It says, uh, metric signs next hundred miles. But, I mean, and no one will, will go a step further to remove the english signs. Yeah, that would force everybody to use it. Or to quit selling tape measures in inches. Uh, yeah, or, you have highway signs saying speed limit, uh, eigh...
No, I, I, I meant, I meant down, like, in the elementary schools. Oh, in the elementary schools. I don't know. I wouldn't think so. I remember a ways back we did like conversions, I mean, I think, but we never actually went out and measured anything or did anything on one system. Yeah, I mean, I think my children learn...
She is, her, uh, her family, you know, lives there, and she's only been there once. Her grandmother lives there Uh-huh. so I'm hoping to I'm praying I get to go. Uh, Oh, that's great. Yeah, it's, it will be probably the most exciting place I'll ever get to go. Uh-huh. Have you ever been to, uh, like New Mexico? Uh, no,...
Tahiti, oh. No, no, Haiti. Oh, Haiti. Right. Where is that? It's, uh, well, it's in the Caribbean and it's the western half of an island, with the eastern half that's the Dominican Republic. Uh-huh. And I was down there with a program from the college that I went to where we would just spend like three months in a fore...
and I mostly went to Germany and visited some friends of my family and, uh, hung out with them, worked a bit on one of their farms and also went to a youth camp. What did you do on the farm? Uh, uh, uh, well, not that much Just, uh, Are you just kind of sight, just kind of, uh, Right, I mean, I wasn't a great asset to ...
Uh, two weeks. Last time she stayed two months, but we're only going to stay two weeks. Uh-huh. So, Great. And, uh, We're going to take a cooking class there, so that might be fun. A what? Cooking class, you know, French cooking. Oh, great. Yeah. And, uh, what else are you planning to do, if anything? Museums, you know...
Uh, actually, no, I don't think I went to any of them. Uh, the closest thing I did was go to some like, uh, restored castles and stuff. Um. That, there is some on that west coast of France and I went to a vineyard or two in Germany. Um, that's neat. Yeah, that was nice. Uh, um, but, so, uh, Hey, what about, have you ev...
I'm wanting to go there. Where have you gone first? Oh, where have I gone that's anywhere. Yeah, I mean, Uh, All right, well.
