Very OFF: weird shit

[Mich@el B]

The bastards won't come out and play for me!!

I'm sure there just messin with my head  LOL!!!

But I hear ya Mike!

I have a friend who is a very straight and of an extremly sober disposition
who saw a similar event only at a much closer view - extreme close

Would have been late 60's to early 70's Monahans Texas -
