* If you were alive in the sixties, but can only vaguely remember it, you probably were.
* If your clothes never match, guess what?
* When your kids ask who those strange looking folks are in some of your picture keepsakes, admit it.
* Marijuana is an herb, you're almost sure of it.
* Sex, love, and rock & roll is not our national motto, but you're pretty sure it once was.
* You know the lyrics to every song in the 60's and 70's, including "Louise, Louise." Welcome to hippiedom.
* If you get scared taking a shower, or going to the barber, or want to snort like a pig every time you see a cop, you were obviously once a hippie. Like they say, "Once a hippie, always a hippie."
* And oh, those hippie girls.

Stripped down and chromed Model A's. Except that Dad had a Packard pregnant elephant. Schlitz at The Fence. I was in my thirties with a career and a family when Vietnam came around.
And my generation has used up all the Sociable Security funds (with Congress' help) and you won't get any. So there.
Best graphics, layouts, and more for your profiles! Click Here!
You have been OVERHEARD and SEEN at my place!
It could have been a graphic or a quote,
It could have been something that you wrote!
You added greatly to my Spring Fever Post
So I linked to your blog as a toast,
"For all you do and all you say ...
Wishing you the BEST of today!"
Hugggggggggggggggggggggggz,

I didn't think so. But I really didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the bike.
You're just an old fart wishing he could have been a hippie. You were in the beatnik era. I do remember the rolled up sleeves with cigarettes, but I couldn't get into that scene because I didn't smoke. At least, not cigarettes.
Enjoy!
I've probably got about 5 or 6 tie dyes. As you'll notice, I am wearing one in my "about me" picture. At a commune, no less. Hippie.

Somewhere my wife hoards a photo of me in a yellow paisley shirt, blue and white stripped bell-bottoms, full mustache and hair down to my...well, long hair.
She takes it out now and then when she wants a good laugh.
I have some very similar pictures. My kids laugh at them. The sixties were fun, and tough, both at the same time. I was not a big time hippie, living in the Midwest, but I tried real hard. We were out there doing something,which is more than I can say for a lot of the kids nowadays. They seem preoccupied with getting ahead. Ahead of what?
Nothing could beat listening to WLS in a VW van! I did the long straight hair and peasant dress thing and tried to learn to play guitar ... was no good at it ... so I dated musicians.
Times were simpler then, but oh so groovy!
Huggggggggggggggggz,

Ah, now there's the question!
Bruce is fine. I don't try to stay anonymous. And there aren't many Bruce's.
Been there, done that. We were big campers, up until about 5 years ago. We went on canoe trips in Missouri for probably 15 years straight. The Current River. Man, did we have some times.
Haven't heard from you for a while. Innocent. I've heard that before.
