Joseph Shivers, is still among the living, I have discovered. he appears to be living at the ripe age of 92 in Venice Florida.

There are a lot of days when I’d like to track him down and shake his hand. And then there are days I’d like to hunt him down and punch him square in the mouth

On the whole, though, God bless him. He makes the Milf Patrol at the local Target (Next to the workout place) the highlight of warm spring days.

but not that damned often.

Gross’ burgers doesn’t have a website. It looks like it was a gas station at one time in it’s past. It is run by a Jarhead who has decorated the place with militaria- including bayonets, the front end of a flatfender Jeep, a BAR, a lot of stripper clips and live rounds. There isn’t a lot of places to sit and eat, but even if you get it and eat it in your car you will not be disapointed. I had the “All American” which is a triple meat burger- the patties are fried thin and crisp on the edges- and the fries are garlicky and taste to have been fried in beef tallow rather than oil. Werner and I went there after a morning of blowing shit up and cutting wood; the HK MP5 22 was a straight-up hoot to shoot, and I might have to borrow it from him to do an appleseed this upcoming summer.

Bom Tempo

Damn, the guy doesn’t seem to be aging. And man, he can still play. Makes you wonder, as my Dear Old Friend and Confidant Mlle Jenny is wont to say, if he has a really nasty painting in a locked closet in his house.
