I have been occasionally writing for a car blog called Curbside Classic and recently published the history of the 1969 Ford F-100 pickup truck that was in our family for over forty years. The story can be read here. Hope you enjoy.
Dining Room Ceiling (Finally) Done
After nearly a year (!) of working on those twenty-five vintage tin tiles, we finally got them installed yesterday.
Forward Into the Past
Double Rainbow
Every Life Has A Story
One of my favorite commercials of all time, produced by a good friend in Atlanta (Hi, Mark!).
We made a point to eat at Chick-fil-A in the Chicago ‘burbs this past weekend to support a company undergoing religious/ideologically-driven persecution.
Democracy
“The Convention of 1787 might accurately be labeled a conspiracy to suppress democracy; that was certainly the goal of many of its members. Making the world safe for life, liberty, and property, even against the vote of a majority, was a major goal. The Constitution was intended to make the federal government just strong enough to survive and protest the nation against foreign powers, but not to interfere in the lives of most of the citizens; and the final sovereignty was reserved to the states and to the people, and in case that wasn’t obvious from the limited grants of power in the document itself, it was made part of the Bill of Rights.”
