| Day 1.
According to today's
regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids (or piglets) in the
1930s, 1940s, 1950s and even 1960s, 1970s and the early 1980s should not
have survived! For those who have come along since then, Mo presents: "I
Can't Believe We Made It" for Today: We shared one soft drink or a banana
split with four or more friends, with one bottle or one spoon. No one
actually died from this. We survived.

real. George says to take one vitamin B-1 tablet a day. He says for some
reason, mosquitoes won't bite you if you are taking vitamin B-1.

third line.)

then, Mo presents: "I Can't Believe We Made It" for Today: Little League
had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who did not had to
learn to deal with disappointment. We survived.
