    Pepsi does outsell Coke here. I doubt all Pepsi products outsell all Coke products though. I still drink RC occasionally. It's not readily available in vendors any longer and we don't usually keep soda at home any more, but I'll buy a bottle from a gas station from time to time.

    Vintage neon signs

    It seems to be ingrained in the nature of some people to move into a new area, be completely "charmed" with it and immediately set about turning it into a carbon copy of where they left, leaving not the smallest detail to escape their attention. I have watched it over and over with the...

    Those RCA signs were very common here. I know of at least one that remained until just a few years ago when the little motel was flattened to be replaced by a warehouse expansion. I have wondered how many TV sets you had to purchase to get the privilege of giving RCA free advertising.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I saw an article where people had cancelled their subscription, then were directed to a page informing them that they had cancelled. There was only one navigation button on the page. It said "continue". If you clicked it you were resubscribed and your card was charged without notice or knowledge...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Many of the deaths listed here are not well covered in the media. Like him or not, McCain's will be covered ad nauseam for days. As far as the political commentary here goes, why sail into torpedo water if there isn't a compelling reason to?

    Far ahead of its time. Paneled interior, heat and a radio. Too bad in 1938 hardly anybody could afford one. One market outside farmers was intended to be mail carriers in extreme snow states. Road gear was around 40 mph.

    You got second place at the STATE fair on your first attempt. I would not in any way call that letting your granny down. I'm sure she would be quite proud of you.

    Gratuitous pic of Cyd Charisse. No reason other than her name was mentioned. :p

    There were a couple of dentists who operated on this principle who advertised a lot on the radio. Dr. Cowan, the friendly credit dentist and another whose name escapes me at the moment. I have often wondered how they collected from resistant payers. I guess the threat of having your newly fixed...

    Not a charity and no connection to the goobermint. I don't know how many stores there were, or when they folded their tent.

    I know this doesn't really qualify here, but I couldn't not share it. Why in the world would Doris Day endorse a street roller? "You know Frank, we need another roller for that highway contract we got and Doris Day says the new Internationals can't be beat!" "OK Bill, go down and order one...

    I dunno. I survived my younger years OK. I don't know how many miles of backroads I drove back then in exactly that scenario. I just didn't realize yet what a hardship it was. The ignorance of yute.

    As cool as the bubble tops might be, they were never feasible anyplace where it gets warm. The air conditioning system would need to be the same size as the engine. If you have ever ridden in a glass top Crown Victoria on a summer afternoon you have an idea of the difficulty. It's a terrarium in...

    When I was a wee lad I had a book that had a lot of illustrations of what the future held. Bubble top automobiles, many of which would be able to fly were prominently featured. Apparently they are in the same place as the jet pack I am still waiting for.
