Good 22º non-foggy, some clouds, morning! Everything still frozen out
there. Broke the ice off Maggie's water. Changed out the hummingbird feeders.
She went out to pee and came back in shaking like a leaf! Looks like it had
snowed!
Interesting:
How exciting, I got a $35 raise on my monthly SS! That's $420 a year. Can
the BO gov'ment afford it??? Or, now are they going to raise the cost of
something else?
From George Bachmeier.... fun!
Brochures for old cars. We had a 1954 DeSoto 2 door hardtop... Was a weird
color though, black top with puse lower...
This car had black leather interior, and the smell made me carsick~! Daddy
was thrilled because it was the first car he ever had with power steering. He'd
say, "Look....I can steer with one finger!"

OK, kids.... for those of you who have yet to have your
colonoscopy ... this video won't have the impact on you it has on those of us
who have .. (Thanks Ben Hunt!)
with Butt Meddler~
My BFF Linda's son, Chris, turns 44 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS! Still
handsome as ever!! How'd you like this guy for your nurse!!! Whoot!
Historically this date...
1993 – Space Shuttle
program: Endeavour heads
for space for the third time as STS-54 launches from the Kennedy Space
Center.
And births this date include...
With first wife (what a geeky looking guy!), Gray's Anatomy, and with family now....
.... does this make sense??? "Originally from Sha Tin, Hong Kong, Hung moved to Camden, New Jersey in
1993 and graduated from the John
H. Francis Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles. Me thinks JHF, Poly High
is not in Camden! " What a dork he is anyway!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, now this is funny. Got it from Gar Austin. He asked, "Are you bored?"
Well go to the site below and click on the door stop. Doesn't take much to
entertain us old folks! I just kept doing it!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The LBB's are back making a nest in the birdhouse on the front
porch...
We are having a big influx of Robins. I don't know that much about them,
but every single day this Robin is atop the fence. Every day. Seems to like the
height advantage and isn't frightened away, like most of the Robins and Finches
when I go out on the porch. He's not even afraid of Maggie walking around the
yard. Cool.
All I know. Marine Corps League Dinner tonight at the VFW. Happy Friday.
Ciao.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the Car Brochure website... now on my 'favorites' list.
Chrysler always tried to be on the cutting edge of technology,
design, and colors. Of course, the Big 3 went to two-tone paint
jobs in the early '50s for a decade of fun stuff.
And, yeah, your dad was right about power steering allowing
him to steer with one finger. That was cool, but just as dangerous
as having a joy-knob attached to the steering wheel. At the top
of the '60s power steering was modified to be Power Assist, so
a driver would have to use his hand to steer.... not merely a finger.
The DeSoto was a nice car. Discontinued in the early '70s, it's
rare to see one these days. In the '90s, Oakland airport had a
car rental company that featured Classic Cars... and they had
a DeSoto like the one in your pic available for rent. People used
to rent those classics for oldies but goodies parties. Your date
would wear a poodle skirt and tight sweater and you'd pick her
up in a '50s car. Great Fun !!!
(okay, back to reality now....) Stay warm!!!
