55 YEARS AGO TODAY

THE VERY FIRST CHEVROLET CORVETTE ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE

It bore a sticker price of $3,250
In the early 80s, I owned a 1968 Vette.
Here is the history of the Vette, from concept to beyond today.

Here is a gallery of Vette images from 1953 thru 2003.

This idiot is going to have a rough time in jail. Kidnapping and drowning a deputy sheriff's patrol car is a serious offense.


"Let's all be careful out there!"

YET ANOTHER BUSINESS...

BEING HURT BY FUEL PRICES

And its the oldest profession in the world.

Are you subject to drug testing? Many people are, either as an employment requirement or as part of a court ordered mandate. If so, you might want to consider some of the beverages you ingest.

Another LLDE entrant.

And yet another.

This story is right out of the headlines. The headlines from 1930.

I've forgotten the name of the movie, it starred James Spader, but it was about politics. It had a line in it that I've never forgotten:

"Only two things can kill a politician's career. Being caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."

I only have one question about this: Who put him up to it?

I said it before about "fearless leader" but its a good axiom for all. Just because you have served in the military does not mean you have "Command Ability". Dubya is living proof. And just because you are a US Senator doesn't mean you know jack shit about foreign affairs.

Firefighters in California have been fighting over 1,000 different blazes. They seem to have brought the battle to a stalemate. Almost all were caused by lightning.

Is the rumor true that Scott Paper is going to start printing US currency? Something about it being so worthless that they plan to put it on a roll that can be used in the bathroom.

I'll be back with more. Thanks much for stopping over and have a great week.
