I had a birthday this week, so my wife took me to see the Hearst Castle. Our primary objective was to stay out of the snow. We had a lot of rain but the temps stayed above 40.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NACL!!! How did you like that bus that took you up to Hearst Castle? I don't know why (my) bus drivers just finished a joint. IMAGINE LIVING LIKE THE HEARSTS? Hope you had a wonderful time!

In 1972 Uncle Sam gave me a card. This year another department gave me another card for an entirely different purpose.
Very generous uncle you have! Good 'ole selective service in '72, and I presume Medicare this time around. NOW YOU CAN GET SICK, and I wish I were kidding. I was "off" a couple of years on your age, LOL, but it was based on your information.

Hold my beer, I am going to California.
BUT YOU'RE BACK NOW!
Didn't even get to use your new govt-issued "card."

Many more happy and healthy birthdays ahead, nacl!
