Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?

Phil: 63 year old, retired Navy Seal who served in Vietnam. Served 3o years before retiring to work with electrical stuff (that he tried to tell me about, but that I was unable to comprehend). Used to live in So. Cal. before attempting a trip to Madison to work with a friend. Was robbed of his bus money, so was sitting across from McDonalds in Springfield attempting to find some work to pay for the trip. Is a Messianic Jew who does not believe in religion. I got to sit and talk with Phil for about a half an hour today. Probably the best part of my day. :~)
