Sad photo from 1999 of 2 idiot young Australian studs sitting on a couch mounted in the trunk of a XD Australian Ford Falcon being destroyed in a demolition derby in the fan area during the Bathurst 1000 mile Australian race.
More young, idiot Australians in the middle of this stupid demolition derby. Also sad is a T-platform Holden/Isuzu Gemini being destroyed.
It is indeed very saddening seeing these vehicles being destroyed in this demolition derby.
Especially vehicles marketed like this:
I think the Palin lady has always been an imbecilic politician. Whether she’s the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska; the Governor for the State of Alaska; the running mate of John McCain, and maybe, perhaps; the running mate of the evil Donald Trump.
The Palin lady has always been a stereotypical politician affiliated Republican party. Just like how the Republican party fits the evil Donald Trump like a glove.
Nevertheless, yours truly is a Democrat. And my paternal grandmother, Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann, Whit; and all 5 of Mary Ann’s children were and are Democrats. Although, Mary Ann and Whit were liberal Republicans like John McCain before they became Democrats.
It is a monstrosity that the Pail lady is a beauty queen turned television journalist turned politician.
Not to mention that the Palin lady is a remonstrant person in the truest sense.
If the Palin lady was ever transported on any School Bus that I personally own, I’d sternly tell her “sit down, princess”.
In “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”, we pretend that the Palin lady never became a politician; and she forevermore remained a television journalist. As WJBK-TV forevermore remains a CBS affiliate and owned by Storer Broadcasting, and WXYZ-TV forevermore remains an ABC owned & operated station, WDIV-TV, after it was purchased by Post-Newsweek from the Detroit News, remains the only progressive local news in the Detroit Market. WIVB-TV also remains the only progressive news outlet in Buffalo after it was purchased by Robert Howard from the Buffalo Evening News/Berkshire Hathaway. The Palin lady takes a job as a news anchor at WDIV-TV, transferring from KTUU-TV in Anchorage, moving to the Detroit area; and becoming one of the highest paid news anchors in Detroit broadcasting history, joining the ranks of Jac LeGoff and the like. The Palin lady also considers taking a similar position at WIVB-TV in Buffalo, New York, and would have gone on to becoming one of the highest paid news anchors in Buffalo Broadcasting history, but accepts the position at WDIV-TV in Detroit instead.
WDIV-TV would fit the Palin lady like a glove, as would also WIVB-TV; and Michigan winters would be no problem for the Palin lady, coming from Alaska; as would also Buffalo’s winters and the common lake-effect snow in Buffalo.
The best part of all of this is that the Palin lady would be surpassed in the ratings by Bill Bonds, Diana Lewis, Guy Gordon, Doris Biscoe, and Dayna Eubanks at WXYZ-TV; and also by Storer-owned and CBS-affiliated WJBK-TV.
Yes, WDIV-TV forevermore remains a distant third in the ratings behind WXYZ-TV and WJBK-TV; and the Palin lady would only add fuel to the fire of WDIV-TV remaining a distant third in the ratings.
Video of the famous Saturday Night Live skit where Tina Fey portrays the Palin lady and Amy Poehler portrays Hillary Clinton. The Palin lady had undoubtedly deserved to be portrayed by Tina Fey.

The picture below is how Rick Steves continues to look in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”.
He continues to wear the glasses that he had wore in the picture below. My father also used to wear this style of glasses, and although trivial; this, along with Rick sharing my father’s type of mentality; are a couple of the many things that we have in common.
Rick can also be as humourous as my mother, such as laughing the night away and having the “hee-hees” just like how my mother could. Rick would indeed get carried away about something with my mother and them two would have the “hee-hees” together.
If I had magical powers, I’d also transform television personality and barn contractor Mark Bowe from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
Mark Bowe should also comprehend that School Buses are more important than sports.
Mark Bowe would also have to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music with me.
A haircut-related website that I’ve visited regularly since the late 1990’s has written a review about an old Barbershop in a derelict neighborhood in Akron, Ohio.
This barbershop, being a ‘neighborhood’ barbershop in a tiny building about the same amount of square footage as an ice cream stand; is located almost adjacent to the ‘mixing bowl’ of the Ohio Turnpike in Akron.
Not that I ever visit this barbershop, but it is thought-provoking driving my pickup truck pulling my Fifth-Wheel trailer through this ‘mixing bowl’ in Akron, Ohio, looking at this being one of many derelict inner-cities that I drive through during my travels.
That barbershop stands like a sorry woe in front of all the vehicles traversing through the ‘mixing bowl’ in this section of the Ohio Turnpike.
As I have stated in other posts, I’m not interested in conventional style School Buses on the Freightliner chassis & cowl, but I’m writing this post because I find it funny that this school district states “PROPER EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED FOR REMOVAL OF ALL ITEMS, I.E. TRUCKS, TRAILERS, VANS, NOT VW’S OR FIATS”.
A Volkswagen and a Fiat are 2 makes of car that I wouldn’t mind driving as much as I wouldn’t mind driving a School Bus.

At some point in 1992, I drive from my house in the area of Lakeville, Michigan; Leonard Township, Michigan; Addison Township, Michigan; and Dryden, Michigan to visit my paternal grandmother in the hospital at the Beaumont Hospital location in Troy, Michigan.
I purchase a Fuji disposable camera from either a Meijer grocery store or an Arbor drug store to take pictures throughout the interior of the hospital on many floors (not of the operating room, but of hallways and of waiting rooms) so that I can remain lower profile than if I brought my Canon camera with me.
A day later, I have the disposable camera developed by the way of the 1-hour photo development at either a Meijer grocery store or an Arbor drug store.
I also purchase a Kodak disposable camera that takes panoramic photos for future use.
I put gasoline in my Oldsmobile-branded GM B-platform station wagon, filling it up; in the Marathon gas station located nearby off of SR-59.

The one and only quality about Scott McGillivray that I actually like is that he must have a penchant for full-size station wagons.
Luckily for Scott McGillivray, the creator of Arthur, Marc Brown and myself are working on a movie where Arthur and his parents own two of these: a 1978 Pontiac that they trade in years later for a 1984 Buick.
And not to mention the 1980 Crown Vic wagon that Arthur and his parents own that they later trade-in for their 1982 diesel Suburban.

This house, a Ranch with over 3,800 square feet of living space (including the ‘Bonus’ space in the attic) could be doable as a house for my parents and I to live together with my paternal grandmother in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”.
The only modification that would have to be made in this particular house plan is the replacement of the 2-car garage with a 3-car garage.
This post focuses on Queen Paola of Belgium.
Queen Paola is descended from the last line of the Italian monarchy before the abolishment of the Italian monarchy in 1947.
To be exact, Queen Paola was born in Forte dei Marmi, Tuscany, Italy, the seventh and youngest child of WWI Italian flying ace Fulco, Prince Ruffo di Calabria, 6th Duke of Guardia Lombarda. Queen Paola’s mother was Luisa Gazelli dei Conti di Rossana e di Sebastiano, a matrilineal descendant of the Marquis de Lafayette, a hero of the American Revolution.
King Albert II and Queen Paola’s eldest child Phillipe of Belgium is the current Prince of Belgium.
If I were at the right place at the right time, I would hack off the long hair on that young male Belgian lifeguard that Queen Paola is talking to in the pictures below.
These pictures were taken at some sort of “Blessing Of The Seas” event that the nation of Belgium holds every year.
It surprises me that the Greek Orthodox religion has had a significant presence in England since the 1960’s. They say that the significance of the Greek Orthodox religion in England is to pay homage to the tradition commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River.
Perhaps, the population of British people of Greek descent have a lot to do with it.
