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. He seemed to bring back his memories in full color HD detail in my mind. A lot of those stories are fleeting at best, I am sure he added in his own little exaggerated touches but back then it didn't matter. That is what Deer Camp stories did for me in D&DH magazine in the off season too. My Dad used to call my grandfather a bullshitter and never fully understood that till after growing up and experiencing life for myself. I think this life needs bullshitters to carry on that tradition of deer hunting we have all come to love.

Finally, during the long New Year weekend, they'd done it. The man told her to get out and she'd finally found the strength to take him up on it. She woke Teddie up, told him to take his bike and go to the new place, grabbed a few things, including Charlie, and walked out, letting the security door slam behind her. She'd never told the man that she already had a place to go, had had it lined up for weeks now, in anticipation of this moment. Teddie would get there before she did, but she and Charlie and what was left of her life wouldn't be far behind. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/24/santorum-romney-michigan-republican-live Skip: "Not sure, --maybe a skunk, dead frogs, the water smells sometimes; maybe shit, who knows up here, could be a combination ... let's shut our windows." As another mile goes by it starts to get a little foggy looking out the window, shadows seem to be everywhere. The questions continued and I kept dodging them. Finally he dismissed me with a frustrated wave of his hand. I went back through the corridor that Li-Li had led me earlier, but I didn't see her when I returned to the bar. In fact, I never saw her again nor did I ever return to the Shadow Bar. After a year at Ohio University and a summer working at a buy truck wheels assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, I returned to my home in South Amherst and took a job with the Nordson Company as a tool & die maker's apprentice. 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. 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. In October, the U.S. State Department released a the results of a survey of 220 U.S. private companies which showed 15 percent of them have postponed investments or expansion plans in Mexico due to the drug violence now paralyzing that country.
