I remember mine being hand written....

Me too, I married in 1966 at 19 years of age and got involved with the whole banking, groceries, rent business which I handled for about 3 weeks and turned everything over to my wife who is still doing it!

I get receipts too but too often now they let the paper empty and I hate to have to go into the store especially during the covid time then I had to wear a mask.

There was a complaint about this as they were purposely letting the paper run out as a way of getting customers into the store to buy stuff.

That's a good question. It would, I think, have been either the Buick or the Pontiac. I don't think it would have been the Cadillac. I think Buick.

The original Lasalle was a Cadillac offspring. My Dad had a 1938 Lasalle. There was a guy at our local dragstrip that had a 1938 Lasalle coupe that raced in the same class as flathead Fords. They didn't stand a chance.

Camera boxes

I keep the boxes as long as the warranty is still in effect. Once the warranty is up, it depends on the size or uniqueness, on whether I will keep it or not. My wife doesn't agree with my philosophy about this.

Good, Entertaining Movie

The remake of " The Day the Earth Stood Still " was alright, but it could have been so much more.

Beautiful '56 Chrysler 300

Simply amazing. My dad had a 1956 DeSoto, not quite as nice.

Photography for Tractor Lovers

Flywheelers in Fort Meade, Florida is an amazing tractor and old engines show. I was able to attend one when we had our house in Fort Myers. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures I took.

Memories of the 2022 Race to Mackinac

Great pictures but I am wondering at the lack of sails. Looks like most are under engine power.

A little known fact....

A female reporter once asked Gordie Howe about why he wore a cup but didn't wear a helmet. He told her you can always can pay someone to do your thinking for you.

So, Who's the Smart One?

It's like an alarm clock. It's up to you to set the time. Don't feed the dog until a time of your choice. He'll soon adjust.
