Altho I was much more into "alternative activities" back then and thought the jock crowd was brain dead. Feelings reciprocated.

Had I not enlisted in the Navy out of high school, I would have played football for them in 1959-?. Probably four years. They wanted me and made an offer.

I've seen cats "sneak" up on birds across a hundred feet of open ground, moving a few feet closer every time the bird pecks at something on the ground, then when the bird looks up, the cat freezes, except for the tail. How do they not see that lashing tail? Three feet away, the bird finally recognizes the danger and tries to take off. The cat leaps and snags the bird out of the air. How have birds not learned to look for that tail movement?
