    The general decline in standards today

    Anybody can work dirty. A little girl can say "poop poop" and her little friends will laugh so hard milk comes out of their noses. It's a dead givaway to a lack of talent.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Etude Geographique Out West, they say, a man's a man; the legend still persists That he is handy with a gun and careless with his fists. The fact is, though, you may not hear a stronger word than "Gosh!" From Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, to Walla Walla, Wash. In western towns 'tis many years...

    Would you please critique this outfit?

    Very severe, very old school. If you don't want to be mistaken for the mortician at a funeral (or the guest of honor) liven it up with a nice tie. Rep or solid color would be acceptable at the most strait laced function. By the way the outfit you describe is the ultimate "power suit". With your...

    Have We Lost Trust With The Movies?

    Lots of things come to mind. But 2 things I would like to say. From what I hear movie company executives today know nothing about movies or entertainment. All they care about is what will sell or make money. And movie fans are stupid. I used to wonder why they made so many boring, disgusting...

    Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver

    I'm pleased that you are finally having some nice drives in the Plodge. Are the fall colors out in Maine already? How is she performing?

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I have 2 rules. 1) I support anyone who helped me when I was in trouble 2) I don't give charity to people who are way richer than me, like doctors. You would be surprised how much money this saves.

    The Tile House

    I don't think tile would cost any more than brick. I would like to know how it stands up to the weather? Do they often have to replace tiles that have cracked or fallen off? How about pointing the joints?

    Old Home Recipes

    I prefer my own recipe too but for the heck of it today I am making a pot of his chili. In an iron pot no less.

    Old Home Recipes

    Have you heard of H. Allen Smith's chili recipe? It was introduced to the world in Holiday magazine in 1967 in an article titled "Nobody Knows More About Chili Than I Do". In it he describes his love of chili which dates back to 1917 and the chili recipe he has been using to wow party goers...

    Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver

    Those brake light switches don't last forever. A new one should be less sticky. Go to the NAPA store. If they look at you funny when you ask for a 1950 Plymouth part, ask for a brake light switch for a 1976 VW beetle, they are the same.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I come from the era when your doctor would tell you that you don't need vitamins, too much exercise will make you muscle bound, and there is no proof that cigarettes are bad for you (while puffing on a Marlboro). At the same time seemingly sincere people (health nuts) were recommending special...

    I thought an alley apple, road apple or horse apple was a turd. Now you tell me it's the same as Irish confetti?

    Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver

    The better (more expensive) cars had a vacuum pump built into the fuel pump for such occasions. The wipers worked the same up hill or down. The pump was available for cheaper cars as an option. The last one I installed was on a 59 Ford six cylinder pickup truck, it cost $56 when the standard...

    The general decline in standards today

    Pawnbrokers are supposed to ask for identification and keep records of every customer and transaction. They can be held responsible for receiving stolen goods if they do not comply with the law. They are inspected and their stock checked by the police regularly. If your city does not have...

    I like Regards or Best Regards. Hate Cheers.

    There is a difference between the scrap metal recycling business and stealing. Stealing is bad, recycling is good.

    One Summer -America 1927

    Rudolph Valentino should be in there although he died in 1926. 50 years later you could call someone "my Valentino" or "a Valentino type" and people knew who you meant.
