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.
Chloe is 1 year old now and I am charged with the divine duty of
teaching her how to find her balance and courage. I am able to show her
that it's OK to dance and walk at the same time. Dad is 65 and as the
oldest daughter, I am also teaching him how to walk. They are not much
different really. One has been exposed to the storms of life and
withered them like a champion. The other is just starting to learn about
the ups and downs of living.
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.

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. But, yes, you do have to shell
out some cash to be part of this whole event. There are several packages
available. One would be the dinner and dance package which would cost
you $60. With this one, you get to join those others with the same
package have dinner at 7:30 p.m. at the museum's Willennar Hall. You
would be able to enjoy dancing, dinner, the cash bar, and a champagne
toast come midnight.
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 truck frame. 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. Now, let's look at an example of how to negotiate a deal, any time.
Let's pretend (or maybe not) that you're one of the estimated five per
cent who are unemployed in the United States. You've done your homework;
written up a killer resume, and now you have some interviews lined
up. In the local automotive arena,
decline in gas prices seem to benefit GM most. The automaker's truck
sales surged by 32.9 percent. DaimlerChrysler truck sales were up by
11.1 percent. Jeep and Dodge received most of the gains. Jeep auto parts
are proving what they are worth in Liberty and Commando. Consequently,
Dodge truck parts are still preferred by many truck enthusiasts. So to keep safety on your side,
make sure that you check the steering system and the suspension system
of your vehicle at least once a year. This should be done so that you
keep away from accidents and crashes.
