Ahhhh...yes...Valentines Day 1976! I remember it well!! Our first Valentines Day as husband and wife, (I was the husband, in case you're confused) married to the very RUVLY Mrs JihadGene. We took the "Train Ride of Romance" that day, from the Punjabi District of Pusan, South Korea to the scenic and serene north. A train ride of RUV...very LOOONG time!!! You see, if you know anything about Korea's train system in the 1970's, then you know that there were 3 basic trains for travel. There was 1st class...it was "The Blue Train"....then, there was coach..."The Green Train" and lastly, there was "The Red Train". It was a train perfect for broke newly-wedded G.I.'s and their lovely brides! Simply put...it was a train for those "so much in LOOONG time love" that they didn't mind the freezing weather at 29 to 43 MPH, coming in through those boxcars with seats, and all the while sitting next to pigmy goats tied to the train's hand rails and Papasans hacking up chunks from their congested lungs. Just taking a pee on the Red Train was an adventure all in itself! Baby goats were tied up to the urinals. But what can I'm say? We were 21 and we were very much in RUV! To us, it was a beautiful summer morning in Northwestern India! Smell the sweet air (above the goats)? Do you hear the music playing over all the hacking coughs?? We did! Now view this video, please. This is how we saw it. This is how we felt. We danced all the way north! God bless you all, especially our awesome US Armed Forces and their families! Have a wonderful Valentines day... very LOOONG time!!! Come on! Let's dance and enjoy life's ride! JG;)
