Today, as fuel prices
continue to escalate, more car buyers are contemplating on getting small
passenger cars instead of bigger vehicles such as those top-selling
trucks and SUVs from Ford, giving up what they really need and want for
the sake of saving more on fuel expenses.
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.
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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_S-10
Truly the only thing Hannah's
was good for was drinking, and despite our ages we ordered up and were
served the working man's traditional shot-and-a-beer. In fact we were
served a lot of tradition that night, and by two in the morning we were
beginning to feel our oats. 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.
There were three major car
manufacturers. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Each manufacture had a
following. Arguments could erupt over which car was the best. A man's
Dodge pickup was a source of pride. Sunday morning the family would
dress in their best clothes and get into a Buick for the trip to church.
The Cadillac represented power and money while the Ford and Chevrolet
represented the working people. People that lived in the country had a
buy truck from owner. It was a working
truck and on Saturday's the kids jumped in the back for a trip to
town. It is important to note that when it comes to the
systems that keep you safe, the steering and the suspension are top
parts that you need to consider. These two work together so that you get
a fine handling and real good ride for your vehicle. The parts that make
up these systems include the shock absorbers, the steering knuckle,
steering rack, bearings, ball joints, and tie rod ends. If these get
damaged, you would most likely be losing control of your vehicle. You
also be most likely experiencing a little sway when you take those
simple turns that did not bother you much before. A couple of
guys that had graduated from high school with me picked me up at the end
of my afternoon shift, and we went drinking in Lorain. We ended up in
Hannah's Bar on North Broadway just a couple of blocks south of Lake
Erie. So
happens he ran out of his truck with his gun in hand pointing and said
look at that huge partridge. Back then the partridge appeared to be
three feet tall as it sat on an old sturdy willow branch. Its head and
shoulders were covered with snow and just sat their looking at my uncle.
All of a sudden you hear boom and feathers going everywhere like when
you bust open one of your mothers feather pillows she got for you for
Christmas. Looking you see that glorious partridge in all its splendor
laying on the ground. Yea those memories are sacred and worth writing
about.
