Another B52 tale

Happy Saturday! I hope your 2022 is going well. Part of last week’s post, I spoke about my time as a bartender and the two customers with their B-52s, and it reminded me of another experience that included B-52s.

The Mallard Malady

I have a pretty good memory. At least, I think I do. I suppose I’ll never know for sure since, if I’ve forgotten something, I wouldn’t actually be aware that I don’t remember it. But, other people have expressed surprise at the things that I remember. I remember the names of guys I used to
