  • Bill Ford Thinks His Company Lacks Vision

    August 8th, 2017

    I am not happy at all about the eventual demise of personal car ownership.
    I just absolutely loathe all of this ride sharing crap that is the so-called “in-thing” in this day in age during the 21st Century.

  • Sohio (Standard Oil Company of Ohio)-Later To Become Part Of Amoco And Even Later, To Merge With British Petroleum Fuel Station Located In Worthington, Ohio

    August 7th, 2017

    A photo of a Sohio fuel station (later to become part of Amoco and would even later merge with British Petroleum) that a man had taken with his Argus film camera during his lunch break from his school in circa 1938-1940. Pictured driving by is a 1935 LaSalle. LaSalle was a companion brand to Cadillac, was intended to be a “junior” Cadillac; and was the brainchild of Alfred Sloan’s companion make strategy. Also resulting from this strategy was Viking as a companion brand to Oldsmobile, Marquette as a companion brand to Buick; and Pontiac as a companion brand to Oakland.

    1935 LaSalle: Worthington, Ohio in 1939

    This same fuel station operating as a BP fuel station decades later in 2011. Not too long after Google had shot this image as part of the “Street View” on their map of this area; the fuel station was sold, condemned; and constructed in its place is a Bistro.

  • As One Would Have Guessed, Dr. Phil McGraw Does Not Support The Evil Donald Trump

    August 7th, 2017

    As I had already figured, Dr. Phil McGraw does not support The Evil Donald Trump

    And neither do I, neither do my parents, neither would my paternal grandmother, neither would Marie “Mimi” or her daughter Mary Ann, neither do all 5 of Mary Ann’s children, neither do Dr. Jan Pol and his wife Diane, neither does Rick Steves, neither does Marc Brown,neither would Shari Lewis; and nor does her daughter Mallory Tarcher-Lewis when it comes to The Evil Donald Trump

    Dr. Phil McGraw is someone who I can relate to not only because he is a professional in the Mental Health field-being a Psychologist; but also because he is as philosophical as our friend Dennis, Shannon’s husband Ray, and Dr. Jan Pol; and also, Dr. Phil McGraw is a car guy.

  • More Regarding NBA Player Steve Nash

    August 5th, 2017

    NBA player Steve Nash should still be barred from wearing a ridiculous Undercut haircut, should have also been barred from having long hair in the past, should have also been barred from having a Buzzcut haircut in the past, should be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, should be barred from dressing to the nines; and should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music.

    Steve Nash is also crazy for skateboarding on the rear of one’s vehicle moving along through oncoming traffic. I, personally would throw the book at him-as the saying goes; when it comes to reprimanding him for skateboarding on the back of one’s vehicle.

    Last, Steve Nash needs to comprehend that School Buses, Full-Size Station Wagons, the automotive world as a whole; the world of amateur/ham radio, and the world of commercial radio and television are all more important than  icky, yucky Basketball; icky, yucky Soccer/Association Football; icky, yucky Ice Hockey; any other icky, yucky sport; and the world of sports and fitness as a whole.

  • More Regarding NFL Player Tom Brady

    August 3rd, 2017

    As the owner of this very blog is a professional book author by trade, I can not believe beyond my wildest dreams that NFL player Tom Brady has written a book and it has already gone into print.

    Like many modern NASCAR drivers, many other traditional stick and ball athletes, and many male actors and models; Tom Brady should be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.

    Tom Brady needs to comprehend that School Buses, Full-Size Station Wagons, the automotive world as a whole; the world of amateur/ham radio, and the world of commercial radio and television are all more important than icky, yucky Football; icky, yucky Basketball; icky, yucky Baseball; icky, yucky Ice Hockey; any other icky, yucky sport; and the world of sports and fitness as a whole.

    An example of how and why Tom Brady needs to understand the importance of the General Motors B-platform and the Ford Panther platform; and just how much more important they are than the worlds of sports and fitness:

    Tom Brady should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music.

    Thank god that Tom Brady does not sport one of those ridiculous Undercut haircuts.

    Tom Brady should also be barred from dressing to the nines.

  • More Regarding Modern NASCAR Driver Michael Annett

    August 3rd, 2017

    I don’t believe that Powell Crosley’s crown jewel-WLW-AM in Cincinnati, Ohio; would want to interview Hockey Player turned NASCAR driver Michael Annett.

    Maybe someone really ought to teach Michael Annett about not only how much more important the history of WLW-AM and the Bethany Shortwave transmitter site are than icky, yucky Ice Hockey and the world of sports and fitness as a whole; but also how much more important the worlds of amateur/ham radio and commercial radio and television as wholes are than the world of sports and fitness.

  • Rick Steves Exploring The Orkney Islands In A T5 Volkswagen Transporter

    July 28th, 2017

    Below is Rick Steves exploring the Orkney Islands, off the coast of Northern Scotland; for the first time in his entire life after all of these years of traveling to Europe annually since 1973.

    This exploration is being done is a T5 Volkswagen Transporter.

    Not only did Rick feel good about exploring the Orkney Islands for the first time in his entire life, he had probably also felt good about being in a Volkswagen Transpoter for the first time in many years ever since his T3 that he had nicknamed “Vinnie” had been destroyed during the demonstration held by German students that he and his friend Steve Smith had found themselves in.

    A 1967-1989 Front Engine Blue Bird All-American like what the Warren Consolidated Schools school district serving the cities of Warren, Sterling Heights, and Troy, Michigan in the Detroit area; had purchased up until 1989.

    This and the preceding generation of Blue Bird All-American that was produced up until 1967 were both the basis for the Front and Rear Engine Blue Bird Wanderlodge motorhomes that were produced by a subsidiary of Blue Bird called Cardinal Manufacturing.

    A Front Engine Blue Bird TC/2000 that is one of the last School Buses to be produced with the Dayton-style wheels in lieu of what is now the all-too-common Budd style wheel.

    As I have stated before in other posts, I personally prefer the Dayton-style wheel over the Budd-style wheel.
