    Howard Hughes rescuer dies

    I figured this obscure news belonged in the WW 2 section- The Marine that rescued Howard Hughes in 1946 when his XF-11 crashed in Beverly Hills died in Palm Springs CA at age 89. He received $300 a month for life from Hughes. Nice to see he maximized it.

    Brand NewA-2

    I'm not sure whether I should be sorry or not that I don't live in an area where cold weather outer wear is necessary. I mused this winter over the fact that I wore a very light weight jacket once or twice only. Usually a sweat shirt is sufficient over a Tee. I have a heavy cord jacket with...

    How much to register your car?

    Wait a minute, you only have to pay registration when you obtain a new or different vehicle. You pay it once. License is a yearly fee and smog check is ever 2 years. My newest car is a 96 El Dorado and it's just like $65 a year. My Mom's 92 Dodge is $52, my 73 Z-28 is $47 and my 1950 Packard...
