The figures of last month's sales are easy to compare
with that of last year for same period. In the light-truck category
which includes SUVs, pickups, and vans; sales figure soared by 14.8
percent last month compared to the sales performance for October last
year. The gains in the truck segment exceeded the 2.9% falloff in car
sales. Moreover, the automotive industry increased its sales by 6.1
percent over October 2005. Nonetheless, last month was the second worst
month in terms of this year's volume.
Anyhow, I took the sergeant up on the deal he offered. After
three months with the 101st in Dak To and Tuy Hoa, I was sent on a
temporary duty assignment (TDY) near the DMZ to learn field station
operations from the 8th Radio Research Unit at Trai Bac Station in Phu
Bai. From there it was off to Pleiku where we worked first in support of
the 25th Infantry Division and later the newly arrived 4th Infantry
Division.
Not only were the fads up in the air in the seventies, so were
the headline news. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was passed allowing a
U.S. citizen to be able to vote at age 18. In 1974, President Nixon
resigned from office as the Watergate scandal unfolds. In 1975,
President Ford announces war in Vietnam was finished as far as the U.S.
was concerned. And Space became the "New Frontier". In 1972, Pioneer 10
lifted off to journey past Jupiter. In 1973, Skylab was launched by
NASA. And in 1976, the Viking I landed on Mars. Boy, times were changing
fast, just as Bob Dylan had predicted.

As I started to bite into the green pod, I noticed Harvey kick

"See? That is all you needed." Skip has small glasses on, like Ben

back more into his seat.

while stalled in traffic, my dad was the victim of a wreck whereby an 18

mph. My dad was one car up from the point of impact. Ford Truck Deal is
not something you will find too much information on. You might want to

could not keep him from sustaining injuries. All of his ribs were broken
and his pelvis was crushed, his brain was bleeding and he was on life
support. RSR Motorsports first raced a Honda Civic Si at Daytona
last year, and now all three of the team's Street Tuner class entries
are Civics. The 2012 season was a chance to learn the car, though
success came quickly in the form of a win at New Jersey Motorsports Park
and third at Barber Motorsports Park. A couple of
guys that had graduated from high school with me picked me up at the end
of my afternoon shift, and we went drinking in Lorain. We ended up in
Hannah's Bar on North Broadway just a couple of blocks south of Lake
Erie. In October, the U.S. State Department released a the results of a
survey of 220 U.S. private companies which showed 15 percent of them
have postponed investments or expansion plans in Mexico due to the drug
violence now paralyzing that country.
