A photo of a Golden Retriever laying down on an exterior deck.
I’m not saying that the Golden Retriever is my favorite dog breed, but Golden Retrievers are a loyal, affectionate, well-tempered; and a well-mannered breed.
This particular Golden Retriever looks cute enough where the author of this post would want to hug it and snuggle up to it.
Then again, as I have said before in other posts; I don’t ever plan on having any pets of my own. The purpose of this post is for no other reason other than to vent my thoughts.
As I have said before in other posts, several NASCAR drivers should have never begun their Winston Cup careers as single men and over time, have gotten married, had children; and started families. Casey Mears is one of them.
Casey Mears is also a sordid Basketball guy, and it was despicable when Casey Mears wore a buzzcut haircut. It was also despicable when at one time, Casey Mears had given his famous father Roger Mears a buzzcut haircut. Casey Mears is one of many modern NASCAR drivers who should be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight. Currently, Casey Mears also shouldn’t be wearing an Undercut haircut.
This television commercial illustrates why Casey Mears should have never begun his Winston Cup career as a single man and over time, had gotten married, had children; and started a family. Casey Mears should remain single to this day.
Casey Mears should also not be relegated to drive a crummy, horrible family vehicle that’s just as horrible as a minivan and as the Buick Rendezvous and Pontiac Aztek crossovers that had preceded it-a Chevrolet Traverse on the GM Lambda platform. Instead, Casey Mears should be driving a vehicle such as a pickup truck, a Suburban, a Corvette; or a Mercedes-Benz SL.
And Casey Mears would be better off driving a Full-Size van or a station wagon on the GM B-platform or the Ford Panther platform than that awful Chevrolet Traverse or it’s GMC and Buick siblings, any minivan with the exception of a T3 Volkswagen Vanagon or a T4 Volkswagen EuroVan; the Buick Rendezvous and Pontiac Aztek crossovers that have preceded the Lambda crossovers; or the crossover that Chrysler had once produced that had also bore the Pacifica name.
Last, Casey Mears would also be better off driving a School Bus than that awful Chevrolet Traverse.
This television commercial for Allegra allergy medicine with the Bassett Hound puppy in it has always gotten me choked up and teary-eyed.
This Allegra commercial is reminiscent of all of the litters of Bloodhound puppies that Jane, David, and Arthur Read have in the Arthur movie for adults, and many of the puppies are as adorable as the Bassett Hound puppy in this television commercial.
Similarly to how the actors in this television commercial pull the Bassett Hound puppy in a Radio Flyer wagon with the puppy laying on top of a cushion; somebody in the movie pulls one of the Reads’ Bloodhound puppies in a Radio Flyer wagon with the Bloodhound puppy on top of a pillow while in the Radio Flyer wagon.
Then there’s the solace of transporting each and every puppy and male and female adult dog that Jane & David Read own in the 1978 Pontiac Catalina station wagon, 1980 Crown Victoria station wagon, 1982 diesel Suburban, 1984 Buick Electra Estate station wagon; and in the 1992 Ford Bronco on a Ford F-350 Dual-Rear-Wheel chassis modified by Centurion Industries into a Suburban-type vehicle.
Episode of the CBS News television program 48 Hours about the murdered politician Kathy Augustine, an associate with the Republican party.
Kathy Augustine was tapped by George W. Bush to serve as a member of his cabinet, but that had never materialized on Kathy’s part.
Kathy Augustine was murdered by her 2nd husband, Chaz Higgs, an attractive-looking male nurse who is much younger than she was; while Kathy was in the hospital being treated for Arsenic poising.
The murder of Kathy Augustine was also a subject of the television program Forensic Files.
Jacob Wetterling, a resident of a rural Minnesota town; is a child who had been abducted in 1989 and whose remains had just been found; as of September, 2016.
Jacob and his father would spend their autumn days watching Minnesota Vikings NFL games, Jacob and his brother Trevor; and Jacob, his brother; and their father would also play (icky, yucky) Football in their driveway.
The Wetterling family should come into realization that Football, like any other sport; is icky and yucky; and that the automotive and broadcast and amateur radio and television worlds are more important and more interesting than Football or any other icky and yucky sport.
If the Wetterling family were to ever own a minivan, it should be a T3 Vanagon or a T4 EuroVan (both generations of the Volkswagen Transporter given different names for the North American market). Otherwise, the Wetterling family should own a big station wagon or a Suburban instead of a Chrysler minivan.
In this age of technology and connectivity, there are automotive shopping websites that, since the late 1990’s; have introduced dissolute ways to buy a car. Especially people who don’t care about cars and view a car as nothing more as an appliance.
This television commercial run by one of these new-fangled automotive websites-Cars.com; is about a normal family with an All-American minivan, the family spending awful time together in this horrible minivan, the parents dragging their children on long car rides in this horrible minivan, cars not being important to this family, this minivan being neglected and trashed out (not that I particularly care if a minivan is neglected and trashed out, overall, with the exception of a minivan I just don’t like a vehicle being neglected and trashed out); their parents forcing their children to sit in the backseat at all times whenever they’re transported in this horrible minivan, the parents holding onto this horrible minivan long enough to hand it down to their children as their first vehicle upon them having just received their driver’s licenses, and the parents ridding themselves of this horrible minivan and replacing it with a new vehicle once both of their children have graduated from college with their undergraduate degrees.
And the children in this commercial push their parents into listening to modern, wierdo music; whereas the children should be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music.
And also, eating at home and sitting at the table together is important to this family; and this family mingling and associating with close relatives is also important to them.
Whereas my idea of a family is unconventional: cars are an important matter, the family either has a rare vehicle that they hold onto and is certainly destined to become a collectible (such as a Centurion Bronco or a diesel Suburban) that they take very good care of and treat with white gloves all it’s life, never ever hands this vehicle down to the children, the parents always allow one of their children to sit in the middle of the front bench seat in this vehicle; and eating out is important to the family, as is also mingling, associating, and spending the holidays with distant relatives.
The mission of “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” is to preach the message to the masses that my parents did not teach me what many consider to be the right thing to do, to execute how my parents are weird in a good way and are not conventional people, to execute how my paternal grandparents were also weird in a good way and they too also weren’t conventional people, and that we’re folks who own a Centurion Bronco on an F-350 dually chassis with the Navistar T444 Turbo Diesel and have treated it with white gloves since day one of owning it; that cars are very important to us whereas sports-we don’t give a single damn about, that my mother’s family is not our cup of tea, we don’t recognize the importance of my mother’s family; and as my father’s family is our cup of tea, we will always select my father’s family over my mother’s family. And then there’s my father taking me out of school to take me to car dealerships periodically, in addition to myself ALWAYS sitting in the either the middle of the front bench seat or in the front passenger seat in a vehicle and NEVER will I ever sit in the backseat of a vehicle.
Though I am not a Republican, it was pleasant watching the episode of the PBS documentary series American Experience, produced by WGBH-TV in Boston; and on the air since 1988; about the personal, military; and political life of George H.W Bush, the 41st President of the United States Of America. Including his defeat by Bill Clinton during the 1992 Presidential Election.
The most fruitful part of this documentary was watching footage included in this documentary of George H.W Bush announcing his candidacy for President in 1979 during the Republican primary during the 1980 Presidential Election; seeing himself, his wife Barbara, their sons Jeb and George H.W Bush and their wives; and his mother Dorothy Bush.
Former actor and California Governor Ronald Reagan eventually won the Republican Primary during the 1980 Presidential Election, and had selected George H.W Bush as his running mate during the 1980 Republican National Convention that was held at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
Overall, the years 1979 and 1980 were joyfully good years; as the 1970’s, 1980’s; and early 1990’s were good times overall. Much better times than the late 1990’s, 2000’s; and the decade that we live in right now-the 2010’s.
