It is
the hour before midnight, on the harsh, gray flat asphalt road along the
banks of one of the Great Lakes . A truck races by like a
shadow, the moon glowing behind a small house. The car swiftly goes on
by, the dim light from the fogy night: --moon penetrating through the
fog onto the tuck and house, where a man is standing by the road; --
music is heard coming from the car, Rock & Roll, as this stranger
standing by the road, a man in a red plaid shirt, he stands erect, as if
he was Paul Bunion; standing in-between the road and the house as a
truck races by.
Other people will try to bully, or force, you
into taking the deal they're offering you. Stand firm and don't give
into their pressured tactics either.
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.

Chloe
was born on March 22, 2012 my second granddaughter. She has been a
blessing to me since the first time I saw her beautiful face. I am
graced with the ability to work form the comfort of my home, however, my
son has not been that fortunate. He is a welder and works 3rd shift so I
volunteered to be the nanny and take care of the baby while he and his
wife both worked. At 43 and having an 11 year old of my own, this life
checkpoint sort of threw me for a loop. Skip sees the thickness of the woods next to
him, as the head lights reflect the fog-lit moon shadows. In front of
him there are hundreds of frogs crossing the road, driftwood had reached
all the with way from the lake up to the road, --it is strange they both
think , and so
they now are thinking more with their body expressions, their face,
eyebrows, the way they look at each other; --they turn their head sharp
as if they sense Lake Superior is right next to them because of the
sounds of the waves are becoming louder again, but they know it is a few
hundred yards to the side of them, yet all this driftwood laying about,
they seem to be fixed on for the moment, as if they were on a levy.
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 in usa 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. Well,
since that was the only plan the three of us were able to come up with
that whole evening, I figured it was destiny. There really wasn't
anything else going on in my life so as dawn arrived we headed for the
Army recruiting office. There were, of course, some tests for me to
take. 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. However, if you would like to get more out of the auto
museum, you may also want to purchase the Auburn Inn overnight package
which is for $129.99 but this would be good for two people already.
