(I have many more of them) I was going through TSA. They took my backpack and said they had to inspect it. I thought (never said it out loud), "Yeah. Whatever. There's nothing in there that hasn't been in there for five years." I don't know if these guys were the sharpest knives, or if they got new, better, scanners. They usually dismantle my bag, and rifle through it for twenty minutes, while repeatedly looking at the 'capture' screen. They don't know what they're looking for, and they won't tell you when you ask. So, they rip your bag apart, stuff everything back in, and tell you you are good to go. But this guy immediately went to, bang!, a "jet lighter" I had. Said I can't have it. A $3 Ronson, down the drain. Totally busted. You can't take down a jet with a Bic or Zippo, but a Ronson is lethal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I keep jet-lighters in all my packs, mostly my winter ones. They are a survival basic. You can light a log on fire, with no kindling. You can't use them for cigarettes, because they immediately burn the cigarette into unusableness, burn off your facial hair, and blister your nose and lip. You can solder with them. Survival! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 That's actually one of my most favoritest songs. I was at some restaurant, and the mariachi band belted-up on that song (in spanish), and when they heard me,( minding my own bizzness) singing along (in english) (i can sing. many people, and my family, that have heard me, have confirmed it) When the band noticed me, they made me sing (in english) between their verses. It wasn't hard. Easy song./ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't hard. Easy song./ It is an amazing song. It seems so odd that Nelson’s and Charles’ voices would pair so well, but they do. That version (which I believe is from Austin City Limits), is my favorite rendition of the song. I wasn’t a fan of Charles’ studio version, with the overpowering organ accompaniment. That sort of organ music should be limited to weddings and funerals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a lap steel guitar in there somewhere as well, which I don’t think suits the song very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I can't sing it in my own voice. From having heard it a bazzillon times, I can only sing it in Willie's nasal voice, and Ray's deep-gravel voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The mariachi / restaurant crowd didn't notice my lack of originality. No one applauded. The band nodded, once or twice. I still had to pay for my dinner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
