The North American
International Auto Show is a site to be seen around the country, but in
the Detroit area it is a chance for the millions of local auto workers
that live here to see what they may be producing and take pride in their
company's name. Every year in January, the Cobo Center hosts the Detroit
version of the Auto show and every year well over a half million people
make the trip to the venue to take in the glory. This is a show for
everyone, even the little ones. This years event took place from January
19 thru January 27th. It was a week of beauty, style, and concept. If
you are a people watcher there is something here for you. If you are a
car aficionado this is your dream, and if you are just looking for your
next vehicle this is the place to start.
To dry your car, you can
use a chamois cloth or a towel but make sure that it is clean when you
use it. Or else, you would only be marring the cleaning job that you
just finished.
Along the roadside you can see
the shades of dark-green and black shadows along the grass, and the
crossing of shadows along the forwarding black asphalt road, as the
Ford-truck glides along.

As I started to bite into the green pod, I noticed Harvey kick
some dirt, waiting as I relived my dreams. It was hot in Hatch, but
nothing prepared me for the heat I was about to consume. Even the sun,
shining bright behind Harvey, seemed mild compared to what was happening
in my mouth. 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.
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
buy junk truck. 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. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First,
the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going
through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang,
I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in
Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery
battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to
find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was
to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave
of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly
discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first
night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. You can do the checking of the wheels and the tires
yourself. However, one auto group, the Car Care Council, do extremely
suggest that it would be best to leave the checking of the other
mentioned parts to experts. Make sure you have professional technicians
or car mechanics take a good look at the steering, alignment, and
suspension of your vehicle. That pothole may have given you and your car
problems that you never thought possible. See,
when my dad had his injury, all of the resentment, rage and shame I was
feeling as a full time nanny, just melted away. When I see my dad taking
steps with shaking knees, just like my granddaughter, I know that God
has given me a great job. I am an angel, who teaches the art of walking
in the face of fear.
