I don't want to ban them, since many people really do need them, but Mobility Scooters in the super market! Seems like there are more and more of them every time I go and my store is remodeling right now, so it is tight in places. They don't even look, just start backing up, pushing you out of...
Actually, Bugs spoke in a combination Brooklyn, Bronx accent. I have heard Linguist say that it is amazing how Mel Blanc was able to seamlessly combine the two accents!
When I was a kid, we had Black Cats and bottle rockets. The former you would light and throw, the latter, you were suppose to put in a used pop bottle light and it would go up in the air and explode. I said, suppose, because we would hold the stick, light them and let them go horizontal at the...
Another great find V.C. my favorite all time paint scheme for a Porsche! A friend of mine has the vinyl fonts to reproduce all those stickers for a full size Beck 550 Spyder replica. I really would like to have one, but would settle for yours any day of the week!
Setting the record straight is not revisionist history! I am tired of people that can't take the truth. Henry did not invent the assembly line, or the moving car assembly line, all done by others before him. Does this some how make him irrelevant? No it does not, he took those process and...
Don't forget Edsel! He was responsible for getting old Henry to shift from the T to the A. Edsel has really got the short shift in history, a real two dimensional carrictor, that gets blame for the car bearing his name, even though he had nothing to do with it!
Probably of no interest here, but, Mummies Alive: The Inca Maiden! Found near the summit 22,100 foot Llullaillaco volcano, the mummified body of a 14 year old girl. The volcano was thought to have been first climbed in 1952, yet here are the remains of a 500 year old girl!
Ultimate restoration: Badger #2. Wow, an old fish car, but not a ugly box car, instead a beautiful Pullman Car. It had, fish tanks on the main level, with sleeper births up above, for the crew who took care of the fish. Well appointed, with a stove and oven, and leather chairs, first class for...
John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail:
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of...
Put my flag out this morning, then went back to bed! I think all the non stop action last month finally caught up with me. It rained for about 20 minutes, forgot about the flag, good thing, now the white stripes are bright again, and it smells good! Not watching the fire works, but I am listing...
I have an extra long range rear sight and a front spirit level sight for my 86 Winchester, both adjustable for windage. A lot of work to get all the sights lined up at long range! Much better on a Sharps or Rollingblock!
