Getting divorced but staying
together is getting more and more popular these days. I know. I couldn't
figure out why anyone would do that either. That was until I found
myself in that very situation with my wife.
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.
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.

Tom Dyer is returning to RSR Motorsports, as
well, and he will be co-driving with Andrew Novich in the No. 196 Honda.
As the sole newcomer to the team, Novich is looking forward to
benefitting from the knowledge of his teammates. 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.
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
contract commercials. The people around me began to sing
along loudly. With
the weather here in Utah dropping below zero degrees, it is crucial to
fill your windshield washer fluids with a non-freezing component.
Perhaps you might drain a bit of the mix from your radiator and fill it
with strictly antifreeze. Check the distilled water level around your
battery; it should cover the lead plates. Secure battery cables to
ensure they are tight. Clean all terminals. There is also a corrosion
prevention spray you can buy for your battery terminal. If there is a
puddle of something leaking underneath you car, be sure to find out what
it is and find a solution rapidly. Outdoor Bob, needed a truck
to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a
new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About
six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon
to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a
few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and
they invited him to be on the local dart team. So
happens he ran out of his truck with his gun in hand pointing and said
look at that huge partridge. Back then the partridge appeared to be
three feet tall as it sat on an old sturdy willow branch. Its head and
shoulders were covered with snow and just sat their looking at my uncle.
All of a sudden you hear boom and feathers going everywhere like when
you bust open one of your mothers feather pillows she got for you for
Christmas. Looking you see that glorious partridge in all its splendor
laying on the ground. Yea those memories are sacred and worth writing
about.
