I tried not to lean against
anything. Leaning, I Feared, would give the wrong impression. It could
seem too casual. Sitting was also not an option. I also did my level
best not to make eye contact. This was harder than it sounds. When you
are surrounded by people with dentition that resembles broken picket
fences and forearms adorned with jail house style tattoos (some
apparently made by carving shapes into the skin then pouring India ink
into the wound) it's very difficult to look anywhere other than their
eyes. Fear causes this.
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.
If you are one of those
hard-working people who like to drive in style in their trucks, then
here is one just for you. Previously the GMC Sierra Denali was only
available as a luxury light duty pick-up. That has now changed with the
Heavy Duty line slated for 2011. It features a four-bar chrome
perforated grille and ride on an all new chassis. There will be chrome
accents on the doors and door handles. Inside will have a Bose audio
system, power-adjustable pedals, 12-way power seats and brushed aluminum
trim. This is the first time the luxurious Denali trim will be offered
on one of GMC's toughest trucks.

Hannah's was just a hole-in-the-wall, long and
narrow with a bar running almost the whole length of the building. The
brick on the face of the building, and the white wooden door outside,
were nearly black from years of soot from the coke plant and steel
mills. Patrons tended to be older folks who spent what was left of their
paychecks on booze, Polish sausages, hard-boiled eggs, and illegal tip
boards. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The
price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all
the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint
condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was
young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car.
To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of
sick.
Linda moved to Florida and got a job as a,
school teacher, here in the area. She wanted to buy a house so that the
kids could have a home. Lo and behold! She gets a notice that Ford Motor
Credit is suing her for the deficiency balance on the
buy truck
denver that they repossessed from
Outdoor Bob. The deficiency was over $5,500.00 Even though the Judge
instructed Bob to make the payments, he didn't. The judge never thought
to check with Ford Motor Credit to see if they would accept Outdoor Bob
as the new guarantor on the loan. They of course wouldn't have done it
anyway. After all, Bob's credit was terrible. 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. My husband's best friend Jake is the lead contractor for a
large construction company on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan. Last
year his firm was granted permission to build a brand new home Extreme
Makeover Home Edition in Armada, Michigan. The site offers a variety of Ford truck
headlights such as chrome, smoked, euro, halo, projector, and custom
black headlights that can be used directly in F 150. They have lamps
customized according to the model so they are easier to install.
