Not a chance. Say that in L.A In my neck of the woods, most of us respect law and order.

Easier where you are.

You sure Deliverance wasn't filmed there?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

You know, one of our houses my Grandpa built. It's way back in the woods and swamp, on a gravel road. Every time I take folks back there, they start making Deliverance remarks.

Oh no! Mr. Bob plays eh? lol lol

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Sure does. I've actually been looking for a better banjo for him. Unfortunately, they're not as common as they used to be.

Well there is that stigma attached to them. You need to find an old Gibson.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

That's my preference. I've been scouring the antique shops for years for one. That's where we got him the one he has now, but it's not all that great.

You are going to have to pay for a decent vintage one. They aren't cheap. Then agin, I know you and you will get the price down if it kills them.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Oh yeah, you know me oh to well. I enjoy the dance as much as I enjoy the purchase.

1. Home delivery of milk in glass bottles, by those neat little trucks;
2. Home delivery of bakery goods in different neat little trucks, with drawers of pastries in the back;
3. Our local newspapers, now down to one, shrinking like The Wicked Witch of the West after Dorothy dunked her with a pail of water.

The D.I.V.Co Detroit Industrial Vehicles Company. I wasn't fortunate enough to be around when these were running around.

We had trucks in town that used the same "quality checked" logo, but ours was Sealtest and Turner Dairy (Turner is still in town actually). Same color scheme too.

Oberweis Dairy might deliver in your area.
They have very good milk that is cold pasteurized and delivered in glass bottles. Most milk in stores is ultra pasteurized which changes the taste of the milk.

Their trucks are new but they still look rather nice.

Campbell's Soup. They are closing their factory in Sacramento that was opened in 1947. This will SERIOUSLY affect the farms, trucking companys and obviously the 700 employees that are now out of a job. What a shame.

Why does that not surprise me?

The world's largest soup maker said Thursday that it will close its plant in Sacramento that has about 700 full-time workers. The plant, which makes soups, sauces and beverages, was built in 1947 and is the company's oldest in the country. That also means it has the highest production costs of Campbell's four U.S. soup plants

Let's see... among the highest taxes in the US -- check...
