ASM826 sent me this one from back in the day…
These are the Jeepneys lined up along Magsaysay in Olongapo, a bit later than when I was there…
The street is paved in this picture! 🙂
And a jeepney is a WWII US jeep the Filipinos build a body on, paint it and bling it out, then use them as open air taxis… Not quite as bad as the baht buses in Thailand, but you DO take you life in your hands sometimes… 🙂
Now that I’m older here’s what I’ve discovered:1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.
3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.
5. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he’d have put them on my knees.
6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?
7. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.
8. Some days, you’re the top dog; some days you’re the lamp post.
9. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.
10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.12. It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been anywhere.
13. The world only beats a path to your door when you’re in the bathroom.
14. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.
15. When I’m finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants  to play chess.
16. It’s not hard to meet expenses . . . they’re everywhere.
17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
18. These days, I  spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I’m “here after”.19. Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.
20. Have I sent this message to you before???

Why do steps erase part of my memory. When I start down the basement steps I know exactly why I am going to the basement. But when I get to the basement, I have no idea why I am down there.
And the absent minded rules are hitting close to home.
I was going to make a comment but I forgot what we were talking about. Something to do with… ummm… zzzzzzz
AW. Great post. Love the pic. All those funnies resemble me. You been spying on me? Well, you wouldn’t remember if you did. LOL
That looks WAY too civilized for Po City. Though I remember seeing it at night…through a haze.
Too many of those are hitting close to home, these days. 🙂
“Magsaysay in Olongapo” that was easy for you to say.
The older I get, the more the “Honk” in gone from my “Tonk”
All- Thanks, now what were we???
Posted from my iPhone.
Thankfully, when there, I always heeded the submarines Peckerckeckers advice not to bring anything back to the boat that couldn’t be washed off. Sage advice. When did Magsaysay get paved?
I do not recall…..
