For me the
holiday season was always the most rewarding time of the year as a child
interested in hunting. I had every issue of deer and deer hunting
magazine to fill in during the non-holiday months. But hearing and
seeing hunting as a kid can never be replaced..those memories will stick
with you the rest of your years. During Christmas and Thanksgiving, we
started a tradition. My Grandfather, God rest his soul, used to sit down
after the meal and tell us of all the deer hunting stories he remembered
growing up. For me their was no better story teller that lived.
"Look here". He said.
"The first thing you need to learn is to never bite into a green chile.
When we test in the field, we never do that. Look here".
Not only were the fads up in the air in the seventies, so were
the headline news. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was passed allowing a
U.S. citizen to be able to vote at age 18. In 1974, President Nixon
resigned from office as the Watergate scandal unfolds. In 1975,
President Ford announces war in Vietnam was finished as far as the U.S.
was concerned. And Space became the "New Frontier". In 1972, Pioneer 10
lifted off to journey past Jupiter. In 1973, Skylab was launched by
NASA. And in 1976, the Viking I landed on Mars. Boy, times were changing
fast, just as Bob Dylan had predicted.

Sales of Ford's Lobo pick-up
truck are falling sharply with Mexican consumers because as it turns
out, the truck is a favorite of cartel hit men and drug runners. Drivers
are now afraid to drive the truck out of fear for being mistaken by
cartel gunmen as a rival. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The
price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all
the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint
condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was
young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car.
To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of
sick.
After a year at Ohio University and a summer working at a
buy truck san diego
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. You can do the checking of the wheels and the tires
yourself. However, one auto group, the Car Care Council, do extremely
suggest that it would be best to leave the checking of the other
mentioned parts to experts. Make sure you have professional technicians
or car mechanics take a good look at the steering, alignment, and
suspension of your vehicle. That pothole may have given you and your car
problems that you never thought possible. Jay Leno married his wife Mavis Nicholson in 1980. He says he's
