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.
Again they slow down, then stop, look about, they hear
the water slapping the bank from the Great Lake again, but can not see
it. The breeze from the lake is picking up, as the window is rolled down
they can feel the breeze, there is a chill to it, so they roll it up a
bit more. Trees are swaying.

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. 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 truck engine. 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. He tipped his hat a bit, raising it off is forehead
and when he did I noticed steel eyes. Eagle eyes that I imagined could
spot a leaf hopper miles away. He screwed up his mouth, flicked the
straw out the window and opening the door, said, Well, let's go. 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 situation might sound like a win-win but some
people say "Cash for Clunkers" is a speed bump, slowing customers who
might want a used car. Used car dealers at Naff Auto Sales told WSLS the
program could force people into buying a new car. Another possible
problem, Clunkers traded in with the program have to be destroyed,
meaning they won't end up for sale on a used car lot. Better for the
environment, bad for used car business. But many say it's a trade we
need to make. Many don't want to put the brakes on the program. In an
interview with WSLS, the president of Berglund Automotive said close to
40 people have taken advantage of the government program so far. They
say "Cash for Clunkers" is giving customers the kick they need to get a
new car.
