For most people, cleaning cars
mean getting a bucket, some soap, a hose, and a sponge. And this also
means getting all wet. This is mainly because cleaning a car mostly
means to a huge portion of people as cleaning only the exterior of a
car. Just keep in mind just how many music videos, movies, and
documentaries show people cleaning only their car's exterior. Even if
you do try to search images about cleaning a car, you would most likely
be given a list of images that show people getting wet and soapy while
cleaning the car's exterior.
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.

Considering cost of
living in her area in the seventies, her income was suitable. A new home
could be purchased for $25,000. A postage stamp rose from $0.06 in 1970
to $0.15 in 1979. I asked my mother if she could recall some prices of
the decade. She remembered bread being $0.29, gas $0.74 a gallon, candy
bars $0.05, soft drinks $0.10-0.15 a bottle in the early seventies and
in the late seventies prices started to rise. She remembered cigarettes
costing $1.00 a pack, cracker $0.29, milk $1.00 and most canned goods
$0.10. I listened to what Jake had to say and asked a few questions
of my own. I was totally shocked when I heard the dirt about what goes
on behind the scenes of the show. I picked Jakes' brain a bit with some
off the wall questions I have always had about the show and he threw in
some things I never would have had a clue took place on the set. I
thought I would make this fun and share some true or false questions
that lie behind all the media hype of ABC's number one family show.
My mother and father enjoyed much of their leisure time with
drive in movies, watching TV shows such as MASH, All in the Family,
Dukes of Hazard, and Andy Griffith. They enjoyed the music of Merle
Haggard, Freddy Hart and Conway Twitty. Lastly, they enjoyed fast cars
as well as many people did in the seventies. Drag racing was a fun event
for both my mother and my father. In the seventies my father owned a
1972 Ford Galaxy 500, 1970 Road Runner, 1973 Ranchero, and a 1976

truck accessories. The cost of a new
vehicle was around $6000. Over all, the most rememberable event for my
mother in the seventies was in 1977 when Elvis Presley died. Jumping off the back of the
deuce-and-half truck, brushing through the crowd of peanut girls, I
headed to the bar. It was a beautiful day with sunlight dappling the
shaded roadway. Outdoor Bob, needed a truck
to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a
new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About
six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon
to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a
few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and
they invited him to be on the local dart team. Divorced folks really do not have any place to go
for guidance. Sure a good friend offers a shoulder to cry on, but the
tragedy of having personal credit destroyed from a broken marriage is
serious. In another article we deal with authorized users of a credit
card. This is important after a divorce also.
