So, so he had to have a work visa there. Yeah. Oh. And of course they had a lot of musicians from, from other countries and, uh, in the Mexico City Symphony. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But I think, um, like three out of the four other people in the trumpet section are from Mexico now. Oh, really. But I think the conductor, I do...
Huh-uh. And, um, if you would drive by there, like on your way to the beach or something, there would just be dumping this huge amounts of smoke, into the air Huh-uh. Huh-uh. and it always smelled really bad. We know that, that was really, really, really bad for the atmosphere. What have you got up there? Well, I, I li...
Yeah. It's just, I mean, it's just so bad that there is just so much going into the air and, and the little bit you say that there putting in here and there, and everywhere, it all adds up. *there they're Huh-uh. Plus all the problems in the Middle East. With all that smoke and, Oh, that has to be terrible over there. ...
Breathing it, we're breathing it all the time. Yes. And, and how, if they have all of those, um, toxicity, I mean, it, there's signs around saying how dangerous it is and here you are living ... Huh-uh That just doesn't make too much sense. No. And I figure we're paying to take care of this toxic waste, no matter who d...
that's what, that's what we want done. Is, we want industry to take, you know, more responsibility in taking care of it. Well, um, individual companies and things are so selfish, Huh-uh. And their desires to save a few dollars and, and that they don't care about the environmental impact, that they make. Huh-uh. they're...
but we didn't. But, I understand that, we have an aunt that lives out there and, When she was visiting here, she would look up at the stars Huh-uh. and she said how wonderful it was to be able to look into the sky and see some of the things that she saw. Huh-uh. She said they couldn't see those things out there, becaus...
We have, it's, um, is it close to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania? Um, no, I never heard of that one. Because I have family there and, We're near Pittsburgh, Clarion University. Oh, huh-uh. It's pretty neat. It's, it's kind of northwest part of Pennsylvania. That's beautiful country up that way. I know, it's, um, very lush ...
No, you're young. You have a lot of life yet, and, and these, we have some people who say, well, this isn't going to affect me, this air pollution, Huh-uh. uh, older people, or they think they're far enough away from something, that it's, Huh-uh. and they don't realize these things are going to affect everybody. And if...
and how they've had to, how it's more expensive and things. Huh-uh. And I thought, well, it's so much better. They say it has really made a difference, though. Huh-uh. Now, see, we don't have that here, yet. Oh, you don't. No, we don't have that testing in that down here, yet. Huh-uh. But they, I have read that, that, ...
like we have a car, an older, one of our cars is an older car, Huh-uh. and every time you start it, from the tail pipe, it makes a black spot, on the cement, Huh-uh. Huh-uh. And you know that, that is a sign. Something is coming out, yeah. Yeah. And that's, all cars are doing that. Yeah. And it's really polluting the a...
Huh-uh. Yeah. And like I said, I think you have to pay for it no matter what you do you with it, because it's industry. We're paying industry to make the products and, we're helping pay for there making these end products that are, toxic waste. Huh-uh. Huh-uh. Then, we have to pay for them to pay somebody to carry it a...
Huh-uh. It will, you know, it affects so many people. Huh-uh. And it's just hard to think that they could allow them to do things like this. No. No. It's scary Huh-uh. It's scary. It really is. Huh-uh. It's really awful. Well, I've really enjoyed the conversation. It's helped me to think more about some issues that I n...
Thank you. Huh-uh. Bye-bye. Bye. Uh-huh, I have got two. One is, uh, two and the other one's four and, uh, this is my first year of staying home. I've always had them in child care. Oh, well, then you are familiar with it? Uh-huh. Okay, I, uh, I have grandchildren and I know, uh, one has gone to a, well, two of them ha...
and so I felt that, that I need to move on with them and so I found another baby-sitter and she was wonderful except I thought that there were too many in the home and it just seemed like it was so hard to find, uh, really good child care. She was wonderful, it's just that I felt that there were too many in the home. I...
And then I just decided that I was just missing a lot of their time whether they were so little and, and I couldn't get off of work as often as I wanted to when they were ill so I just decided it was probably best just to stay home for a while until they were a little more, uh, independent and, uh, I could go back to w...
yeah. You know, and I know that one of the day cares and it's a, a well-known chain, uh, she was not at all happy with. It was, there was too many children per person. They were just kind of left to play, there was no structure to, and the middle grandson went there as a, uh, like a preschool thing. Uh-huh. She was wan...
It was, it was like a little kindergarten. Uh-huh. And, uh, they had hot lunches and, and they had classes that, you know, one class they'd do art. They even familiarized the children with computers. Oh. Uh, it was just, it was really a very excellent one. Uh-huh. And how old was he? He's now five and a half. He's in k...
and it was a excellent, they, very good. My little boy goes to the Methodist, uh, in Garland. Oh, does he? Uh-huh. I'm real happy with that one. Yeah, they, uh, the church ones, church ones seem to be very well run. Well, I've, I've heard that the Methodist ones are excellent. Oh, really? Uh-huh. Even the even the Moth...
Yeah, because this is First United Methodist in Garland that he goes to Uh-huh. and I'm real happy with that. Yeah, it's a pretty good size church, too, isn't it? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. So, Well, are you enjoying staying home? Well, that's a, Yes, I am Uh, I taught for Richardson School District Oh, uh-huh. and, uh, I t...
Uh-huh. and I just couldn't get the time off to, so, Well, isn't it very hard to teach young children and then come home and deal with young children. And have enthusiasm. Yeah, it is. It really is. Yeah, it really is. And I felt, Okay, uh, could you tell me what you think contributes most to, uh, air pollution? Well, ...
No, I'm more out in the suburbs, but I certainly work near a city. Okay, so Can you notice, How about you? well it's, it's, I live in a rural area. Uh-huh. It's mainly farms and, uh, no heavy industry. Attleboro, itself, I live in Rhode Island. Oh, I see. And, it's in the north, I live up in the, uh, northeast corner a...
it depends which way the wind's blowing from Boston, cause we're like forty miles south of Boston, so we'll pick up that. And, uh, I've noticed over the past say, maybe five or six years, uh, we live about twenty miles away from the state airport and I notice that the fly patterns now of the jets are getting bigger, th...
I notice locally a major problem is Kodak. Um, it's interesting because in order to, uh, keep with the E P A standards which, which tend to be visible, uh, what's coming out of your smokestack, they do all their emissions at night. Uh, so people get up, Okay, well, is that right? Yeah, people get up in the morning in t...
and, they do that at night too, because, employees been complaining that the cars have been pitted, and, you know, spots all over them. Right. Yeah, yeah. So, you're right, they could do something about, about that, I guess. Yeah. That seems a little ridiculous. How are your, uh, your lakes, and, uh, Oh they've been ge...
Um, I'm not an expert. Yeah, no. Didn't they just have an article, oh, on, uh, they were dumping lime. Up here? Up, upstate New York somewhere, over huge areas, I haven't read that. Oh yeah. and they thought that was more beneficial because, you know it, it, some of it does soak in and some of it runs off right away in...
So, that's interesting because New Hampshire, and parts of Vermont, um, they showed pictures of, of extensive tree damage that they attributed to acid rain. Uh-huh. Um. Um, you kind of think it's something else then? Well, that's what the environmentalists were claiming in this article. So that, Oh, they didn't say, th...
Uh-huh. Uh, how we go about that, it's uh, uh, it's a little bit difficult. I think it's up to individuals too, to ask automakers for, for less pollutant vehicles. Yeah, Yeah, you I think you need a, a vehicle something like, uh, Ralph Nader, Nader's Raiders, or, where, uh, or, uh, uh, A A R P, which has a lot of membe...
You think that, that, that the, uh, the trucking industry is that, uh, incompetent, that they wouldn't, you know, fuel is, is one of their biggest costs. Right. So, you would, But diesel engines. Yeah, diesel engines. It, you know, it's, it, I mean, they do generate a lot of soot but that at least, that kind of particu...
Uh-huh. But we could that. That'll help, pollution, air pollution, Uh-huh. The, uh, United States and Canada are I guess, is, is, going into, uh, some types of agreements to limit, uh, what's being given out by power plants, Uh-huh. I guess Canada's quite concerned that we're sending a lot of our stuff up there, Yeah, ...
and you couldn't start your car anymore. That's a, that's an interesting concept. Is that your idea? Yeah, but, uh, you know, it's, uh, I guess the difficulty would be to, that somebody could obviously just take it right off the tail pipe again so you probably would have to build it right into the muffler or something....
But if you was talking about something which was more or less universal that, uh, busses and any kind of vehicle, had to pay a pollution tax, uh, this would penalize the heavy polluters and not penalize the light polluters, That's a, that's quite a concept. You should, uh, pursue that I think, or patent it, you know. Y...
the automobile regulatory agencies or something. yeah, you might generate some interest in it. But that's, that's a good idea. Other than that I'm not sure what, what individuals can do other than like I said get involved through a group or an organization. Uh-huh. What are your music interests? Uh, just about any kind...
I, I don't, I don't like acid rock either. I, I grew up in a small town so, uh, the only, we only had one radio station so it was country music, Yeah. but then, uh, when I, Yeah, I grew up with Hank Snow, and Lefty Frizzell and Hank Williams and all of those old country and western songs. Oh, really. You're older than ...
We, Yeah, when he played DANNY BOY it just almost brought, tears to your eyes, because he can make that flute sing. Oh, really? Yeah, and, uh, it was tremendous. Now, he, he is a, uh, actually, I did, I played flute for, almost ten years Yeah. and, and, uh, so, I, I, I appreciate his too, his, his Yeah. he, he, he's fr...
Uh-huh. and they, they played all the Irish jigs and so forth, it was just fabulous. Yeah, I, he, he is really good. Yeah, I, I, I come from a musical background, Yeah. so, uh, uh, I've played flute, flute and piano, so, I, I, I have a big appreciation for music, up to a point. Yeah. Yeah. I, I'm getting now to the age...
I love to just lay back on the couch and, and turn a good, good instrumental got on and just close my eyes and listen. Yeah, that's, that's nice to do, that is. I've got a, I've got a, I've got a two year old who's now getting, I'm getting well versed in, in kiddy music Yeah. I'm, I've never played an instrument in my ...
oh, yeah, I've, I've done, I've done that at church too. Yeah. I haven't done that in a long time. Yeah. So, let's see what . Well, what kind of music do you not like? Well, like I say the acid rock, I just do not an I don't care for rap music either. Oh, that's not music Uh-huh, no. that is not, I don't know what that...
it's just, it's just, uh, uh, talking in a beat, it is just, it's not exciting at all Yeah. it doesn't, it doesn't give you relaxation, Yeah. you can't dance to it, you can't do anything to it Right. But, I, and I love, I like orchestra music too. Like the, Boston Pops or, or anything. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever been to...
I, I have, I have, never been. And, uh, we went and saw, uh, LES MISERABLES Oh, really? oh, the music in that was fantastic. I, I've heard, I've heard that that is a really, Yeah. I heard that was hard to get tickets to. Yeah, it, it, uh, I can't remember how far in advance we reserved, tickets but it was out, you know...
Is that the only, uh, musical, do you go see a lot of musicals? Just, just ever so often you know, a real, a real good one like that one Yeah. and, That, that would be, that would be nice I went and saw, uh, I think it was, uh, SUGAR BABIES, that was good, that had good music in it. Was it? How, how, I can't, I don't k...
okay, I know who your talking about. I can't think ever her name either. I can't think of it. Yeah, that that was, that was, I remember that being, uh, here a few years ago. Yeah, but, uh, Oh, oh, the last country music, my, my parents still, uh, really like country, music Yeah. and they, they like, uh, they like the O...
Yeah. and, yeah, he really likes Shenandoah. Alabama. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, Alabama, Uh, I think, I think they're a bit over exposed Yeah I get kind, of get tired of every other song being Alabama on the, radio. Yeah, either Alabama or Hank Williams, Junior. Oh, I, I've never cared for Hank, Williams, Junior. I never...
but I just, I just don't care for him, Yeah. I just never have. I don't, I guess probably my favorite all time country and western song or singer is, uh, probably Eddy Arnold. Is, is it? Uh-huh. Okay, I, I think, I, I know who that is, uh-huh. I think my parents have have, uh, some of his records. But, uh, I got a, I'v...
I think his name in, in the movie was Froggy and, I've, I've never seen a Gene Autry movie, had a real raspy voice, Huh. and, uh, No, I never have some of those old ones, of course, Bob Wills, Miss Texas Playboys Ernest Tubbs and Red Foley an, Yeah. Yeah, those go back quite a way Yeah. I took them up here to Collector...
and when they would come and change the records the guys would, the guy would give her the old records Well, that that's neat. so, that's where I got my, that would be great if they weren't too worn out, at the time. Yeah. Of course, there's not a whole lot of market for seventy-eight R P M records. Is there not? You, ...
but that would cost a fortune, if you could find them that worked Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Of course, they, you know, just don't have the quality of records nowadays either because, you, you get that scratchy sound. No. Uh-huh. Well, those things were big and thick weren't they? Yeah, yeah. You could kill somebody with them Yea...
I, I we buy cassette tapes, Yeah. and machines will eat them, Yeah. and so, the best bet, any, these days are compact disk, those things are practically indestructible But, I, I guess, you know, the old country and western music you, back then when I was a kid, there wasn't that much T V, Oh, no. so that's all you had ...
your imagination Yeah. kept and it just didn't vegetate your mind like television does Yeah, I remember mother and dad always turned on the Grand Ole Opera. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Was it on the radio every week? Yeah. what day, what day was that on, do you, can you recall. Uh, uh, seems like it was on a Friday, Uh. Friday or,...
Well, I, I think it's a pretty good idea. I think they should either do that, or, or afford some time to the military, or, or helping elderly people. Yes, yes, I, I, you know, I think that we have a bunch of elderly folks in the country that could use some help and I think that before we expend all our young talent ove...
I've, I've, that's really great. I, I really think that both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts is a excellent, two excellent organizations. They are but parents, You know, kids seem like when they get ten or twelve years old they fall out of that, Yeah, they do. and they don't follow it at all, you know. There are very fe...
once they get into junior high it just, not done anymore Yeah, they, they lose interest. and then when they young, young adults, there's even less interest there. Uh-huh. They're more for, I Me Not, not, yeah. Grab, grab, grab, walk out Yeah, you're absolutely right Yeah I think it's a really a good thing. I, I like to...
but there's a lot that can be done right here in this country, too. But I think, we ought to start right here at home. I'm, you know, Yeah, uh, I'm not, I'm not so sure that overseas help, helping overseas would be such a hot idea for, for, uh, a lot of young people. No, it, it, But, since there is much that needs to b...
Well you take care, and, and, enjoy the day. You, too. You, too. Thank you, ma'am. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Do are you on a regular exercise program right now? Yes, and I hate it How about you? Oh, well, I'm kind of off and on. Off and on well, I guess I've been kind of off and on I've, uh, Had some health problems that have ...
and then I do low impact aerobics. Okay. I guess you don't enjoy that very much. Not, not really. Do you find that, uh, to be boring? Yeah, and time consuming, I mean it's not just the exercise that's boring and time consuming, it's, uh, you know, afterwards, you know, then you have to take a shower and get cleaned up,...
It's one of those, uh, universal type machines, exercise machines. But I haven't really sat down and used it match yet, so it's collecting dust right now. Yeah, a lot of things do that. I had an, I had an exercise bike I used to jog somewhat. I use to have one, and I finally got rid of sit cause I never used it, but I ...
and it was real nice outside, had to get out to do something. Yeah, I can't ride a bike so. I've been sitting in here in the house all weekend with a cold so thought I, better, better get outside and do something and not waist the day. Oh. Yeah, it's too nice, it's been too nice all weekend. But, uh, yeah, I need to st...
I usually only go about a mile or two. I guess it worries me about jogging it's that I hear that it's very hard on your body and, and that, you know, you can end up getting hurt, worse. Yeah, it's, it's tough on the joints if you jog on concrete, or on asphalt. Uh-huh. Suppose to be much better if you find grass, uh, o...
but, uh, like I said I'm just not very consistent about maintaining a, a program. So I'll, I'll bicycle I get into that for, for a little while and maybe go out, uh, on a consistent basis every couple of days and ride a bike for awhile, but then I'll get tired of doing that, and maybe start jogging again and go out abo...
Oh. And that was very helpful we kept charts of our progress, and, uh, consistently increased the empty of resistance so you could see how much you improved over the weeks. Uh-huh. I found that to be, uh, very helpful. Are you going to do that? Uh, I need to, I haven't started yet but, uh, it's a thought. Well, that so...
Well, I'm trying to get my tolerance now I just had surgery, um, less then two months ago, and right now I'm just a little over about a mile and a half, Okay. but I'm trying to workup to three miles. Well, that's good. Well they say that walking is just as good if not better then jogging. Yeah, It, it takes, it's just ...
Yeah, it is and this doesn't, you know, my treadmill has an incline and, you know, you can get a really good workout on it. Um, do you go to an aerobics class or do you watch, on T V? No, I, I just do it on T V, Okay. I have a cassette. Which, uh, shows do you watch on T V? Um, it's a, it's a I use tapes. Oh, okay, oka...
Sweating to the oldies Right. I, every now and then I'll watch E S P N, I get cable on T V, Uh-huh. and they have, uh, a couple of shows called basic training, and, uh, what is the other one called. There was one guy I use to watch on E S P N, I don't know if he's still on any more or not, I I don't know if I get E S P...
Yeah, he's not bad his assistants usually aren't either. But, uh, They're always in, in Hawaii some place. On, on the beach. Yeah, yeah. But then that was back when, uh, you know, the high impact and, Yeah, well, they, they do low I pact stuff now, Do they. Are yeah they're still, they're still, he's still doing it the...
It's, uh, you know, I can't remember offhand what time. I'll have to check it, check, check, check it back up, Yeah and, but the thing is everybody always looks so good on that show, at least on Yeah, every now and then. Not everybody has a picture perfect body. Uh-huh, well, I found that they, they have just a much be...
Okay, well, I sure enjoyed, to you about exercise and fitness. Nice talking to you too. Okay, thanks. So, all right. Talk to you later. Good night. Bye. Bye. Uh, well what would you say your opinion is on gun control? Well, I don't know. I've, I've had mixed emotions, I guess, when I listen to, uh, the radio and, and w...
Huh. And, I think they need that. Uh, and I do have a, I have a pistol. It's a little twenty-two and I have a twenty-two or a twelve gauge shotgun. Uh-huh. you know, I do like to have my guns. Uh, I don't know if I'll ever use it, you know. And like you, my bullets to my little pistol's probably, uh, about three years ...
But, you know, the criminals that are going to get their guns one way or the other. I I, I agree. I think, you know, one of the things that, that, that needs to happen is, uh, to, to stop the impulse buyer from, uh, buying it quickly and, and, uh, maybe putting a week's waiting period or something on it. But if some...
In other words, you know, you don't have a need to go buy a gun to go shoot it the next day. somebody wants to do that, I, I, at times I think they ought to have a waiting period on all firearms. Yeah. I do too. Uh, because it doesn't make any difference, uh, uh, whether it's a pistol or a shotgun, I suppose. They both...
Oh. And the spread changes. Uh, I've got a manual single shot and I guess it doesn't have any, any automatic features to it. The further away I get, the, the, uh, wider the shot gets from the target. Yeah. And the closer that I get, the tighter that it gets. It's got a hell of a kick to it. Yeah. My husband had a, uh, ...
Uh-huh. and, uh, we can't even find a place to shoot. Just for target practice. No kidding. I'd love to get used to that shotgun. We traded his pistol for that shotgun. Huh. Well the, the, uh, clubs that we've got around here are kind of expensive but, uh, it's well worth it. You can go down and shoot up against a san...
I think that, that the gun clubs serve a useful purpose. In fact, I'd like to see somehow they tie the legislation into not only when you buy a weapon you have to, uh, show that you've gone to school or gone to some class to know how to handle that weapon. That's a good, I've never thought of that. That's a good point....
Well, he went tumbling down the steps along with, uh, shooting his foot almost off. He broke his leg and collar bone and a couple of other things I'm sure, being, Mister Cowboy. Wow. I can't remember what the the term was going around. It was about four or five years ago. But. Now, I guess that would be a good idea Ab...
Because I have, and I've kept it, you know, the one gun that was in my name. Yeah. Is it registered? Yeah. The, uh, the rifle that I've got is not registered, and, uh, I don't know why I never registered it but the, uh, I don't think you have to register a shotgun Um, I, I think it's, it's voluntary The, uh, the, We...
It's just like the, uh, the social security system Once they, uh, they gave everybody a number and now they're making you, uh, uh, get one at, at birth. And once they have your number, they have your identification. Yeah. And if you try to do anything, uh, like, uh, not identify yourself to the government, they know w...
They probably do. No, that's that's a little bit extreme. But they could know anything and everything about you. And, uh, I'd like to have my gun. If they go to banding, banning them, I'd lose my gun but we wouldn't lose our our, uh, shotgun. Yeah. And, uh, we're wanting to get a couple of more that no one knows about....
we got a thing down here called A SHOPPER. Uh-huh. It's a, a it's a, it's a bargain thing. Uh, you go and you know, always see guns in there. Five to seven guns a day. Yeah. It comes out every Tuesday. And there's, there's no waiting period on that. No. None whatsoever You call, we sold a refrigerator through it and it...
Control is something that I wouldn't want the Federal government to have. Uh, but I would like to see them have a monitoring capability so that they know who has what weapons. Yeah. Well, I agree with you there. They do have too much control over us already. Yeah. Uh, we could look at our paychecks and see how much con...
Most countries require that now, they you know, they have, uh, it mandatory for, for the, the uh at least the young men, Yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. I don't know about the young women, I don't know if they have to serve in the military, too. Yeah, a lot, yeah, well, you take Israel I mean, everybody does. Yeah. I don't think ...
I bet. You have to. Yeah. Yeah, my father had been in the military. I didn't do it myself. My father had and that's, uh, how he put himself through school basically. Yeah. He came from a poor immigrant family, and he didn't have a chance to, uh, you know, the family wasn't wealthy, so he had to do something to, put hi...
And I got in, and after, after wasting the first six years, partying and everything else, I decided, uh-huh, time to settle down and do something. So I started to work on my education. Yeah. Course my job was such that I didn't, I couldn't do it as much as I wanted Uh-huh. and still I ended up going two semesters when ...
Exactly. I mean, I've always felt that people on welfare should be required to spend at least part of their time, *why no slash? not all the time because that takes away from their opportunity to look for a job, but at least some of their time to look for, to go out and clean up the roads. You know, Oh yeah, Absolutely...
and his sole job was just tracking down people who were getting benefits and able-bodied and, That right. Yeah, and he, he had all kinds of horror stories. You know, these guys go down there and get their unemployment checks, and, back, back in those days they also use to give you, uh, booklets good for, uh, clothing a...
and, and there's probably, there's easily probably six or seven times that amount being spent on the bureaucracy. Yeah, no doubt. You know, it's, it's, it's totally ridiculous, and now, I, I, I, uh, started out when I first got in graduate school I was going into public administration, and, uh, quite honestly I just go...
it's pathetic. I mean, there's got to be a different way. There's got to be a better way. But it'll never happen. I mean, these these people out here getting that money are big voting blocks. Yeah. Yeah. What would happen if the required young people to do service to the country, what should they get in return, I wonde...
Well, this, I mean I mean, look at the statistics, and that's only going to help. I mean, it's sad. One in five Americans can't read Yeah. adults, that is, can't even read. And, and we've got the lowest rates of the civilized countries in science and math. Yeah. I mean, what are we, what are we becoming? We're becoming...
yeah, simple as that. Yeah, which is good for them, but on the other hand, we kind of lose out. Yeah, it's terrible for us. I think that if, uh, young people had service to the country might give them more ambition. Because they learn that serving other people is a good thing. Yeah. Yeah, and, and it can be good for th...
and I'll, I'll teach them something good Well, you know, you know why they do it is so they can get them out of the house. Yeah. Yeah, uh, that's my other complaint. Parents aren't parents any more. No. They've, they've relinquished their parenting. Yeah. One of the other subjects is do you think the public school syst...
