    1989. I worked there as a contractor for several years.

    Yea can remember driving by Wright Patt on 235 and having aircraft fly just over the top of my car for a landing. One was a huge cargo plane. Like to give me a heart attack.

    I’d imagine it has. That area has become over run with heroin addicts.

    I heard it's more a huge opioid problem throughout the Dayton areas.

    Yea it is. It's bad. We lost about as many people annually to opiates as we do to traffic accidents.

    Small world.
    Oops. Mom informed me my sister lives on Shoop Rd, not Stroop Rd. Well that's an easy mistake.

    I was wanting to try this Turkish restaurant, but we ran out of time when we visited Ohio, in October. https://www.pashagrill.com/

    Hmm, interesting.... We used to have a Middle-eastern restaurant nearby when we lived in STL. Went there a couple of times. It wasn't bad but I'm not a fan of some of the spices/flavorings used, nor of beans, lamb, and goat too much. I was glad I tried it but not sad not to go back.

    Good grief! Guess so! We didn't live near Wright-Pat back in the day. But I do remember occasional sonic booms when jets would fly over, so bad that things on shelves inside the house would fall off. We also saw biplanes a lot, which was weird in retrospect. Because of our proximity to the base we also were treated to nuclear bomb drills in school, along with the tornado drills. They were pretty much the same thing since we didn't have a basement in the school.... crouch under your desk and put your arms over your little head, or do the same out in the hallway. I have a very vivid memory of one bomb drill, crouching under my desk and scared to death because the Cuban missile crisis thing was in the news. Somehow I just knew that over on the other side of the world was a little Russian girl doing exactly the same thing, terrified that we were going to bomb her home into ash.

    And thus both my empathy and my lifelong path to being a liberal was born. ;~)

    I just remembered something I saw once. It's kind of weird, but here it is. A bubble gum flavored beer. They actually got me on the weirdness, because I was going to buy one for shits, and giggles. I guess I wasn't the only one, because I returned later, and they were out.

    Interesting, I don’t think I would buy one, doesn’t sound appealing. I have had banana nut bread beer, it was okay, not one I would drink regularly.

    Sounds like a marketing plow to transition kids into adulthood.

    It wasn't one to enjoy, it was just for curiosity sake.
