He pours a cup of coffee from a rusty thermos, then watches and listens intently, im- mersing himself in the surroundings, becoming an integral part of the landscape. Later, upon discovering a can of “Beanie Weenies” left in his hunting coat from a previous outing, he thinks aloud, “This is really livin”. It was a successful day of hunting, judged not by the number of birds harvested, but by virtue of the experience.

If you receive Gary Interstate by email, we hope you will enjoy this. This made me cry. I remember as a kid, running home from school and there was only one channel. We were stuck watching Kate Smiths Variety Show "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain" for the 1/2 hour or so before the Mickey Mouse Club came on. She was a big fat lady and sang what seemed to be opera songs but I watched her religiously waiting for Annette and Bobby. Oddly, I still have most of her music in my accumulation. It was a bad time in 1940, three years before I was born. I grew up with pride in my country and it breaks my heart that I can't help feeling like we are not only not free anymore but prisoners of our own government. I sure hope the next administration can sort things out and make us all feel better about our country and our government. In the meantime, I didn't know the pro- ceeds and royalties from this song supports the Boy Scouts. Did you? Go listen. It may make you feel a little better......the video belongs to YouTube and is public and Kate Smith is public property! Subj: Origin of Song: 'God Bless America'.
