The great influenza in 1917-18 killed 50,000,000 people at the end and following WWI. The great Kentuckian Abraham Flexner helped invent the flu shot, won the Nobel prize and built Jewish hospital in Louisville (the street it is on is named Flexner).

Unless you are allergic to eggs, I suggest that you take it. Even if you catch the flu the shot will make it less debilitating.

The street is Abraham Flexner. I've known that street for 30 years but I didn't know who he was. Thanks for the info.

Listening to the Jones show and just heard some sad news. News that should bring about change. We all know how bad Louisville is this year, so bad they fired their coach before the season is even over. Well, as it turns out, our offense has put up 8 more yards this season than they have. 8.

Are you kidding me? 8 more yards? That may change by the time we play them. Mostly likely we will be behind. I feel and I am serious, we are not guaranteed to win these next two games. We have to outscore both of them and I am not sure this offense, the way they are playing now can. Let's be thankful we don't have to replay Miss State, Florida, South Carolina or Mizzouri again. I doubt we could beat any of them

Braggart.

Best thing ever invented. Should be mandatory for cities to provide one of these about every 50 feet.

S'up D.
Chicken tenders w/honey mustard & tater wedges for lunch. Not as good as ATX's gut buster burrito.
Woke up w/snow on the ground this morning...too early for that.
Kenny Wayne Sheppard concert tonight...lookin' forward to it.
Get the flu shot every year here at work...it's free, may as well. Some don't...easier to call in (or pretend to be) sick and miss work.
All I got.

Just helping an employee changing a headlight bulb of a 2014 chevrolet equinox. Please look this up. You'd better go to a dealer if you have half a brain. Whomever designed this should be shot on sight. You have to remove the bumper and grill to change a bulb.

You can't make this up. Remember the day you could take an old flathead V8 and break it down in your garage over night and put it back together before school the next day.

Now you are talking. I love all Mexican food but I like tamales above anything on earth. I use to have to work in Texas a lot and I would always look for a Tamale stand and get me about a dozen of them and eat them as I was driving from Houston to San Antonio. In fact I would stay off of the Interstate and drive back roads from city to city. When the dozen ran out I would look for another stand beside the road. I still inhale them like a chain smoker inhales his Camels.

I put a crankshaft in a 235 chevrolet when I was 17 years old with half-ass tools that Dad had. What a mess! But one has to learn. I may have been 18.

This is how we learned. I started messing with cars when I was 14 and by the time I was ready for college I could do about anything with them.

But today I have not a clue where to start. Without a computer you can't even tell why the engine light is on. At least I can't. Maybe my grandson can

Drive R In was one of our spots when I was growing up in Paducah. They served chili and hot tamales which I always loved to get. Cheap and very tasty. It was like Mel's, but not as fancy-lookin'.

When I had to sell my '61 Chevy racecar I bought a $100 car ('50 Ford) from my barber. I think it was a 6 cylinder, I can't remember, that old thing smoked, but would start every time. It had a pull choke on it. We had a very cold Winter in 62-63, 18 below one time. That old thing would start even that day. I traded it in for a '57 chevy 2 door HT for $600 boot.

My first car was a 61 chevy that would only run 60 MPH if you were going downhill. It was a 6 cylinder but I think it was only running on 3 of them. lol....good memories

I was really lucky with my first car, which I was able to buy through a contact of my dad's in 1972 for $500 I'd saved from a construction job I'd worked the summer I was 16 -- a 1965 Oldsmobile 442 convertible. The thing had a 400 ci V8 that produced 345 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque (some of that I remembered, the rest I looked up. But it is all true.) That was a lot of car for a kid not quite 17. I'm lucky I didn't kill myself, because I drove it like I was Parnelli Jones.

Basically this car without the fancy wheels and dark green instead of red. God, I loved that car.

Another "boy, I wish I had held on to that car" sad story. We've all got a few. My brother tried to sell me his 65 Mustang convertible in the early 70s for a pittance. Wasn't interested.

Someone did a primo job restoring that flathead. Did you do that?
Click to expand...
Yes Don, there was a lot of tender loving care put into that little Ford. It was frame off restoration and all stock. Everything on it could be purchased at the Ford dealer in 1950.

I took it to the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville every year and won quite a few awards. The only cars you could show around the courthouse were Moonshine runners. 40 to 54 Fords, etc. I loaded down quarts of shine and had a lot of fun. "Running shine down highway 9". I miss those car shows and Bill Elliot's moonshine.
