  3. Merry Christmas to all from both of us! ? And a happy New Year with hope for promises of cloned '66 Skylarks and '60 F-100s. And of course peace on Earth.

  11. Underground is where you normally find a used coffee filter - don't give me that look; they can't all be gems!
  12. Deja vu, or something: Late 1983: I'm out driving my old compact Buick; I spy its sister in a parking lot, park alongside it and take a photo. Late 2022: I'm out driving my old compact Buick; I spy its sister in a parking lot, park alongside it and take a photo.
  13. Sentence diagramming was a staple of my junior high English courses.
  14. Hands like that make it easier to pick up small pieces of photoetch.
  15. Yes, the custom grille was a one-piece chromed unit that wrapped around all the way to the hood sides.
  16. "Aircraft behalf" is what volunteers at aviation museums work towards.
  17. 44049 is the zip code for the bustling metropolis of Kipton, Ohio (population 233), site of a fatal head-on train wreck in 1891 caused by an engineer's watch having stopped for four critical minutes.
  18. Texas Guinan was the Prohibition-era Queen of the Nightclubs, whose catchphrase was "Hello, suckers!"
