As Paul Tibbits said near the end of his life when complaining the peace activists criticizing the decision to drop the bomb had no concept of the tenor of the times back then, saying: "I can't talk to anyone under 80 anymore." Well, at Lex's place I finally found a unique collection of professional and collegial individuals with whom I could vent my frustrations, share my stories and soak in the collective wisdom. Buck and I, once musing over the phenomenon that Neptunus Lex had become, both reached the conclusion that we would never see such a like unique commentariate ever again, anywhere. <br /><br />I really miss the guy and all the rest over there now scattered to the four winds.. A once in a lifetime thing. Life has not been the same for me since. A lot of the joy has gone out of my daily existence. I wasn't over here yesterday as I spent the day getting drunk thinking about Lex. The Whiskey Front came in low and early..virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577165785872035948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-58575865557501373722015-03-07T10:57:22.532-08:002015-03-07T10:57:22.532-08:00I mostly lurked over there.
