    Dog Attack

    About ten minutes ago my Doberman (on leash as always) and I were out for our evening walk. We were attacked by two dogs in El Centenario on Calle Cuarta between Palo Fierro and Cardon (We live in Mexico near La Paz the finish line of the Baja 1000). This is about the fourth time now in the last...

    Another "Is this still available?" Response

    I just posted a seven year old, 17 foot RV trailer for sale on facebook marketplace. Ten minutes later I rv'd my first so-called response: "Is this still available?. Well, duh, I just posted it minutes ago! I heard somewhere awhile back that responses like that are not genuine, although I don't...

    My Fourth Grade Field Trip (Milpitas California Ford Assembly Plant)

    Saw Ford Mustangs and Mercury Cougars coming down the same assembly line circa 1967. The assembly plant is now "The Great Mall of the Bay Area". Anyone else tour an assembly plant back then?

    Still Retain Any Kindergarten Memories?

    Some of these images may be "false memories", meaning maybe I got them mixed up with dreams (or real scenarios in other places/times). Regardless, this is what I can put together now at the ripe old age of 68. 1) I attended kinder from Fall 1960 to Spring of 1961 at Bagby Elementary in San...

    Sliding Gate Mis-Aligned After Repairs

    We have two very heavy steel gates at the entrance to our property in Mexico. They meet in the middle and each have a pair sturdy cast iron 4" wheels that ride along angle iron (angle iron is set in concrete along the bottom). Over the last 10-12 years the bottom portion of both gates began to...

    Is There a Gardener in the House?

    Frustrating things happening in the garden this Spring. First off, the recently planted Guava from the nursery had two stalks, one just shriveled up for no good reason (see photo one-shriveled stalk on the left, still healthy looking stalk on the right). Secondly, after watering two new plants...

    Shoes Tracking Gravel and Pebble Inside All the Time

    Does anyone know of any shoes that still have the simple "waffle" pattern on the bottom of the shoe tread? Could be for walking, running, or cross-training, just don't care as long as they don't pick up stuff in the cracks. I'm getting tired of tracking in gravel and small pebbles inside the...

    Name That Youth Merchandizing Org

    Back in the 1960's there was some kind of group that showed youngsters had to produce, market, and sell a simple consumer product and I can't remember the name of it. I believe one product they made/sold in my neighborhood were wheel chocks. But each year or each geographical location chose to...

    Physics Lesson for 273 Lovers

    The coldest anything in the universe can become is minus 273.15 degrees celsius. I wonder what kind of "nickname" one could invent for their 273 powered Mopar while incorporating this science fact? I know there is a song titled "Cold Hearted" but does not express the point that a proud Mopar...

    Your E-Bay Experience Selling Classic Mopars?

    I am thinking about selling one of my classic Mopars this year. Was wondering if I should consider an Ebay auction? What can you tell me? Probably would park the vehicle in the San Diego area for inspection. Thank you.
