I had a distant cousin find around $70,000 in cash and a pile of old stocks in his father's house when he passed away. They always thought he was broke because he went to the casinos often, but they said when they started to clean out the house they found every book in the house and ever file in his office was stuffed with cash and stock purchases. He never told anyone about it.
I was a pretty good student and got my love of reading from my dad. All these books that he was getting rid of... the outsiders, lord of the flies, the adventures of huckleberry finn, great expectations and dozens more were books that he would read to us when we were little.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have been a mixologist or a waitress in a nightclub. That would be nice. My dad is insanely cheap and controls the money so there may be cash squirreled away somewhere. I'll never know 'cause they're going to live forever.
One cool thing about busking is that I have currency from most major countries. Most of it is worthless, but it sure is pretty. One day I'll organize it and make a scrap book or something...
LOL, no dad didn't read books; just flight manuals and magazines. The bills I acquired on my own somehow. In fact the only thing I've found unexpectedly was mine originally; $40 American in an old jacket of mine way back in the closet for 20 yrsIn books from your dad?
LOL I figured your dad's magazines only had pictures in them
Yeah, all sorts. He'd get interested in shit outta the clear blue. I was around 12 and he brings home some boat magazines and for the next year and a half he had subs to around 5 or 6 boat mags. Mom and sis don't know whats up, but I do. Soon the topic of boats starts cropping up in casual convos around the house. LOL, the fucker wants a boat!! The hell does a city born and bred guido want a boat for? You must understand, the only, absolutely only thing he was truly interested was planes,jets and flying and that was his job. He finally lost interest when he realized he'd also have to buy a truck/ trailer and figure someplace to keep it out of the weather. His boat was gonna get mighty expensiveLOL I figured your dad's magazines only had pictures in them
Boat prices pale in comparison to things with wings
True, but he disliked small planes, mainly because there were too many around. He could have afforded one, but he was a "professional" and hated the fact that anyone could get a plane and operate it, just like a car. I suppose he was correct that most air accidents were caused by private owners. Remember Bob Yeakel of Yeakel Bros multiple car dealerships? He crashed a Piper Comanche on I think the Pomona Fwy(maybe San Gabriel Fwy) in 1960, killed all 5 on the plane and a driver on the Fwy. Dad just says "See", fuckin amatuers
I remember Sunday was when all the amateurs took to the air. I can't tell you how many guys got P-51s and crashed them, too much airplane, not enough training and experience.
That is one sexy lady.
They were until some idiot plumber or doctor turned them into a modern metal sculpture, sigh.
Schwag or top shelf?
