Miller High Life "Smoke Pipes" ... In 1953 I was setting in the back seat of a Baby Blue Chevy Belair Pace car Behind the Rock Hill, SC American Legion ... This was the Saturday night Dirt Track races ... My Dad drove the pace Car my mom was in the front passenger seat ... I was 8 years old .. I don't remember but this happened right before we were to take off leading the pack .. My folks got into a spat and my Mom Turned around and handed me the Miller ... Big Mistake !! I had it sucked down Before Dad could get it away from me ...

I loved the first beer I ever drank !! I like a lot of Beers ... But My favourite is the true born Dutch Heineken .. I got hooked on these in 1968 in the NCO club in Southeast Asia at 10 Cents per bottle ... They would take 750 pound bomb shipping canisters and make large coolers out of them ... Fill them with beer from one end to the other in ice ... 10 cents a pop !! This was a reward after a hard days work ! ... The other half of the Canister would be made into a Giant Charcoal Grill !!

Now the beer was everyday ... But the good grill stuff was the first two weeks after the first of the month... Then towards the end of the month ... the beer was there (Liq. and beer flown in Daily on C-130's) but Liver was the main dish in the mess hall the last week of the month .. Fortunately I like liver ... Even if it's green ..

We loved to hear and see the Smoke from the Diesels from the supply convoys coming through the hills and paddies at the first of the month.. Bringing Food and Bombs and Ammunition ... Good times again ... <'TK><
