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.
Thus, technology was on a roll. Bill Gates had founded
the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 and McDonalds had created a drive
thru. However, my mother was more interested in her own life and leisure
time. In the seventies she had graduated high school, entered the
workforce, and married my father in 1976 and started her own
family.
According to statistics, the average household income in 1970 was
$8,734 and it rose to $16,461 in 1979. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in
1970 and up and down all decade landing at 8.5% in 1979. Heart disease
was and still is the leading cause of death. Also, Aids and HIV was
discovered in the seventies. There were many major medical break
throughs in the 1970's. One of the most noted being the completion of
the MRI scan in 1977. My mother recalls having medical insurance and
being able to get a tooth pulled at the dentist for $15.00.

Hannah's was just a hole-in-the-wall, long and
narrow with a bar running almost the whole length of the building. The

paychecks on booze, Polish sausages, hard-boiled eggs, and illegal tip

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.
I had just started on another beer when someone dropped a few
coins in the juke box. The music was bad country. To my utter disgust
the first song that played was that "I want to stick a boot up your
butt" super-patriotic, ultra-jingoist thing by the guy in the
buy truck toolbox commercials. The people around me began to sing
along loudly. That's something that a lot of
married couples don't think about. Yes. You and the person you married
are legally bound to one another. Your spouse (unless you legally put
someone else in charge) will be the one they ask permission from if they
ever have to pull the plug on you. Your spouse will get your social
security money in the event of your passing. It didn't bother me that my
wife had all these legal rights as my wife but it bothered her. She
doesn't want me or any one else having legal powers over her. Since its launch the Civic has been among the highest selling cars
