He put two screws in the roof that did not hit wood that I'm going to have to patch. I was the contractor here today.

I do not watch Jeopardy because it confirms that I am "stupid as hell"!Damn this guy on Jeopardy just keeps rolling along. Another day another $72,000. That's over 1.9 million in 25 games.

I like reading stories like this, short to the point and interesting.Tomorrow marks my hire-in date in 1962 at International Harvester heavy-duty truck factory in Fort Wayne, IN. I graduated high school in May, 1961. There was a recession in late 61 and early 62. Couldn't find a job anywhere. After wasting six months in Detroit I went back home. I later hitchhiked to Fort Wayne where I had an aunt who took me in. Borrowed a car and headed out to the factories. I showed up at Harvester and asked if they were taking any applications. The guy said, "Yes, we are taking applications for full time workers." I was shocked and thought he was being sarcastic. After all, all I had heard for about six months was "Sorry."
Starting pay was $2.50 hr with UAW benefits, which jumped quickly to $3.00 hr. I WAS A RICH HILLBILLY IN YANKEE TERRITORY!!! (minimum wage was $1.00 hr) I immediately bought a 53 Buick for $80. Met my car hop wife a couple of weeks later and the rest is history.
But ... I digress.
Or right depending on who is grading it.
It was the Golden Age of automobiles.I agree. All three of the automakers made beautiful cars in'57.

Great story Bert.79.2°F and sunny. We are supposed to be hot for the rest of the week.
I am going to a pig roast Saturday. The Chief of Police when I was Mayor is doing it. Tom is a wonderful person. His father was killed at their home in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge. His mother and brother walked through the jungle for two weeks and got to Thailand and freedom. The Smiths Grove Presbyterian Church sponsored his family. He grew up here and has now become a Kentucky hillbilly who wants to fish and hunt all the time. My police commissioner was a 6’8” black man. You talk about people taking second looks at our meetings. One short white bald man, one really short brown man and a very tall black man. We drove our city lawyer crazy with our racial jabbing at each other. We will get back together Saturday and maybe I can get a picture of the three of us.
Happy Birthday Ymmot 31! Enjoy it Brother!![]()
