CARS AND MEMORIES

I just sold my dad's little KIA. - Do you think cars have personalities? I think that they sort of take on the character of their owner. - Not too long ago I decided to drive the KIA to keep the battery charged and just to see how it drove. I got it started and took it to Sears to get the battery... Sign in to see full entry.

Vandals and Roadrunners (a repost)

Beep! Beep! Thupppptt! This happened a few summers ago, but I was reminded of it yesterday. When I got home from Wal-mart and there was a roadrunner under the evergreen in the front yard; looking at me like I was an intruder. There's nothing like a dirty look from a roadrunner. - Wonder if she, I... Sign in to see full entry.

State Capitals

Dad and Mom knew all the state capitals. - I learned all the US capitals in grade school. They don't teach them any more do they? - I was sort of shocked when I posted a still from the movie "Nashville" in my movie blog with the hint that it was a state capital. (it is) No one got it. Heck, no one... Sign in to see full entry.

Hubcaps

I was just watching an episode of "The Rockford Files" from my dad's video collection. The show starts out with (surprise!) a car chase, and as one of the cars skidds around a corner the hubcap flips off and lands by the side of the road. - I have often seen hubcaps by roadway and had always...

Can you help?

This is driving me crazy. I was thinking about a scene from a movie. It's with Richard Widmark and in it he is pushing a woman in a wheelchair either down the stairs or down a drive way...all the time going He...He...he..he...heh a sort of creepy half laugh half cough. My dad used to do that laugh... Sign in to see full entry.

Sky High Cones

In order to buy candy and ice cream when dad was young he would go door to door selling "Liberty" and other magazines and the Sunday "Denver Post." - He found that selling the "Denver Post" to folks checked into local motels was relatively easy. Of course some people weren't all that pleased to be... Sign in to see full entry.
