  1. In the end, light will always conquer darkness and truth will obliterate all their lies.
  2. Story telling by those drinking around a campfire can be entertaining and tales are often embellished by exaggerating the details.
  3. Jalapenos off the smoker grill are some of my favorite additions to my hamburgers.
  4. Out in my yard I have to keep removing Mexican Fan Palm sprouts planted by birds pooping the seeds.
  5. "Phones" entered in an internet search will bring up HUNDREDS of pages of ads for phones of the cellular variety.
  6. Packard Automobiles of the 30s and 40s are, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful American cars ever put into production.
  7. Expensive video games and video game consoles that entice people, especially kids, into doing nothing but exercising their thumbs while they eat loads of chips and cookies whilst drinking gallons of soda instead of experiencing REAL LIFE and physical activities are, to me, irrational, stupid and silly.
  8. I was another that never got an allowance, but had a BUNCH of chores to do every day after school. I got an afternoon newspaper route when I was 12 and worked it 7 days a week by myself until I was 16. I also bussed tables, washed 50 lbs. of Pinto Beans, peeled and cored 40 lbs. of Brown Onions, washed dished and did closing clean-ups at a Mexican style fast food restaurant when I was 14. (my Social Security statements show me starting to pay into that program when I was 14) Anyway, with the money I saved, I bought my first motorcycle, a Kawasaki G5 100, model car kits (which retailed at 2 bucks a pop back then) and supplies, Hot Wheels cars (still have all of the first three year's editions stashed away) CarToons magazine, Car Craft Magazine ('cause it sold for 35 cents and Hot Rod was 50 cents) Dirt Bike and Motocross Action magazines and, occasionally, Mad Magazine.
  9. "Works for me!" is a term I often use when a colleague makes a suggestion that is beneficial to the adventure, proposition or task at hand.
  10. Something is wrong with a lot of things in our world, but we're not allowed to make them better.
  11. Then they complain because the way you made it was different than the way they saw some numbskull make it on YouToob...
  12. Too much fun is never enough.
  13. "Day Two" is a term I often see in certain magazines that describes performance modifications made to new cars shortly after purchase, but I really think most mods were done after the car's warranty expired.
  14. July 4, 2026 will be the 250th anniversary of the declaration of the U.S.'s independence, a day of celebrations.
  15. Kids of today will shape the world of tomorrow.
