Buying a car has changed over the years. No longer do you have to go
from car lot to car lot to find that perfect car. No more spending your
week-ends car shopping. Years ago car shopping was a big thing. Having a
car wasn't as casual or as necessary as it is today. People in town
walked or took the bus.
He seemed to bring back his
memories in full color HD detail in my mind. A lot of those stories are
fleeting at best, I am sure he added in his own little exaggerated
touches but back then it didn't matter. That is what Deer Camp stories
did for me in D&DH magazine in the off season too. My Dad used to call
my grandfather a bullshitter and never fully understood that till after
growing up and experiencing life for myself. I think this life needs
bullshitters to carry on that tradition of deer hunting we have all come
to love.
Of course, I couldn't spit it out. How
could I? To do so would be a disgrace, but more important was my pride
and my arrival in the Chile Capital of The World. Instead I chewed as
Harvey looked on. Never once did his expression change and in fact it
wasn't until my eyes started to roll back inside my head, that he
cracked a grin. That impassive manner finally gave way and he burst out
laughing. But did I stop? Not a chance. i was too dumb to know what to
do.

It's no secret that Jay Leno beat out David Letterman when it
was time for NBC to replace the retiring Johnny Carson in 1992. But, did
you know since the six foot tall comedian started hosting "The Tonight
Show" that he rarely takes a day off? One of his many cars can most
always be seen parked in his reserved "#1" parking place at the NBC
Studio in Burbank. And, on top of doing the show, Jay Leno still manages
to perform more than 150 standup comedy gigs a year. Li-Li led me into a corridor leading to an office in the back of
the building. There she introduced me to Mr. Nguyen van Duong who wasted
no time in getting to his questions. Duong was an ugly man, small and
fat at the same time. His hair was thin for a guy in his 40s, and he
used a pomade to plaster it to this head. The skin on his face had an
oily sheen to it. His lips were fat and reminded me of raw liver.
There were three major car
manufacturers. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Each manufacture had a
following. Arguments could erupt over which car was the best. A man's
Dodge pickup was a source of pride. Sunday morning the family would
dress in their best clothes and get into a Buick for the trip to church.
The Cadillac represented power and money while the Ford and Chevrolet
represented the working people. People that lived in the country had a
buy truck food. It was a working
truck and on Saturday's the kids jumped in the back for a trip to
town. That's something that a lot of
married couples don't think about. Yes. You and the person you married
are legally bound to one another. Your spouse (unless you legally put
someone else in charge) will be the one they ask permission from if they
ever have to pull the plug on you. Your spouse will get your social
security money in the event of your passing. It didn't bother me that my
wife had all these legal rights as my wife but it bothered her. She
doesn't want me or any one else having legal powers over her. The
West Palm Beach Motorsports Examiner will be on hand for the event, and
will provide insight into the longest day in professional auto racing;
the Rolex 24! Visit the NTX web site to learn of classic auto shows and
swap meets that are held periodically in the parking lot. Reservations
are now being taken for the first annual New Year's Eve party to happen
December 31, 2009.
