Extreme Makeover Home Edition is one of the Top rated Sunday Night TV programs and a great show for the whole family to watch. It was a wonderful treat when the TV show came to visit my state of Michigan and surprise a family in need. The place was peopled by extras from "Hells Angels on Wheels" and every bad prison movie ever made. This woman kept bumping into me. She was medium height, slender, had long brown hair and three teeth. Her face looked a little like it had caught fire and some caring person had tried to put it out with an ax. Every time we collided I apologized nervously and she walked away. From behind she could have been Miss America. I swear.

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. site As I started to bite into the green pod, I noticed Harvey kick some dirt, waiting as I relived my dreams. It was hot in Hatch, but nothing prepared me for the heat I was about to consume. Even the sun, shining bright behind Harvey, seemed mild compared to what was happening in my mouth. The Families get to keep all of their personal belongings after they tear the house down. TRUE. Jake said in accordance with the Armada show, they rented Pods which are portable storage units. All of the families personal belongings were stored inside the Pods right there on the property. Every year when my wife and I filed our taxes some things from MY past (not hers) would creep up. If we filed our taxes on February 1st, we were lucky if we got our refund in August. I had a buy truck mirrors that had a manual transmission. My wife cannot drive stick shift but I had to put her on my insurance because she is has a driver's license and lived with me. If she had tickets or a DUI from the past, my insurance would be sky high and I have never had any tickets and I don't drink and drive. It wasn't a problem for us but it could have been. So far all that is being offered are the trimmings, what about where it really counts? GMC's upgrades have been focused on the chassis and powertrain. It's not as strong as the Ford F-Series with their Super Duty, but the Sierra Denali has a 20,000 -pound maximum towing capacity with a fifth wheel trailer like the Chevy Silverado HD. Its diesel engine is the star of the show. GMC has made substantial upgrades with their oiling system that saw an 11% increase in highway fuel economy and a range of 680 miles thanks in part to its 36 gallon fuel tank. This is certainly what many will want to hear with regards to saving gas. Luxury is nice, but economy is even better regarding fuel prices. My husband's best friend Jake is the lead contractor for a large construction company on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan.
