Greetings from Lake Stevens, WA:

I am new to the list (and, to carrying), but not to life (63 y.o.). I am retired from teaching (all levels, preschool - 12 grade), and from the Army National Guard (SFC - artillery/heavy mortars). I have accrued credits in the USMC (1962 - 1966), and as a volunteer firefighter here in Lake Stevens (1989 - 1991). I enjoy working on my '71 F-250, playing with my two grandsons (4 years/5 months), and discussing my vision of the coming "tribulation": social chaos brought on by a financial meltdown. Also, I spend too much time on the internet. I am hopeful of purchasing a boat (before I croak), and finally getting out on the Sound here. I am open to discussions about anything concealed related.

PS to the Newbie from Georgia: although I reside in Washington State, I claim Georgia as my "second home": I graduated from Emory University (Atlanta), received my teaching credentials from Georgia State, drove animal ambulance and provided security for the Atlanta Humane Society,
and obtained my first teaching experience there (Montessori, ages 1/2 through 5).

Welcome baugh009! Finally someone else my age has shown up! :D

Just kidding, I imagine we have some others on the board. Perhaps we should petition the powers that be for a Gray Beard section, where the older, and wiser could hold forth? :wink:

Thanks Vegas George for the warm welcome. Your "Gray Beard" bunch might not be a bad idea. Perhaps from this group we could select a CPK (Carry Philosopher King), a la Plato. (Then, again, he would probably croak on us immediately after ascending the throne.)

Best,

Baugh009
