I dislike Walt Disney World, end of story.
I hope that not a single NASCAR driver or team owner ever narrates the Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World. I’d rather that a NASCAR driver and team owner engage in an automotive-related activity in their off-time than narrate that Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World, or participate in any other religious activity for that matter.
Certain NASCAR drivers and team owners even belong on the racing scene in the Arthur movie for adults rather than narrate that Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World.
I also wouldn’t have ever thought it would be a good idea if Shari Lewis had ever narrated that that Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World, and I don’t think it would ever be a good idea if Shari Lewis’s daughter Mallory ever narrated that Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World; possibly even giving a Jewish point of view about the holidays while either one of them would be narrating that Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World.
Instead, both Shari Lewis and her daughter Mallory belong somewhere doing the tricks that Shari had learned from her father Abe Hurwitz; or at house with Shari’s sister-in-law and Mallory’s aunt Judith Krantz visiting with us, my paternal grandmother, Shannon; and Ray rather than narrate that Holiday Candlelight Procession at Walt Disney World.

If Shannon & Ray had purchased a motorhome in the mid-late 1980’s, they would have likely purchased a gasoline-powered Monaco motorhome on a GM P-Chassis or a Ford F-Series chassis, or a Monaco diesel-powered motorhome that they had built on a Gillig bus chassis before they had developed their proprietary Roadmaster chassis and built coaches on it starting in 1989.
Gillig had supplied their bus chassis to Monaco and a couple other motorhome coachbuilders during the 1980’s.

Until recently, I never knew that in the mid-late 1980’s, GM had produced another heavier stripped chassis that was maybe, perhaps; a predecessor to the P12 chassis.
This heavier stripped chassis that GM had produced in the 1980’s was called the P6T.
According to literature, the GM P6T stripped chassis was available with the (problematic) Detroit Diesel 8.2 liter ‘Fuel Miser’. The 366, 427, and 454 gasoline engines were probably available on the P6T stripped chassis.
Here are links to the 1985 and 1986 model year GMC brand Motorhome Chassis brochures up for auction on EBay that include the P6T in their lineup of available motorhome chassis at the time.

Besides Jenson Button not being my cup of tea, as I’ve already stated in other posts; I do not like him and a couple of other races sporting buzzcut haircuts in this photo.
If I were at that place during that time that picture was taken, I would be observing their heads closely with a magnifying glass to ensure that their hair will someday grow back.

I think Phil McGraw is a wonderful human being.
Phil McGraw is philosophical just like how I am.
The person who had mentored Phil McGraw into having his own talk show, Oprah Winfrey; is also philosophical just like how I am.
Like Ray and my friend Dennis, Phil McGraw had gone through a series of marriages. Phil McGraw’s wife Robin is his 2nd wife. Phil McGraw also had a drug and alcohol addiction before he had become a reformed addict, and his reformation is what had prompted him to want to become a psychologist just like his father, Joe.
From the late 1970’s up until 1990, Phil McGraw had worked as a psychologist in a Private Practice until he had entered into an entirely new business venture lawyer Gary Dobbs in co-founding Courtroom Sciences, Inc.; a trial consulting firm.
Phil McGraw’s practice had pretty much specialized in drug and alcohol issues and marital issues, and rarely things in the realm of Autism, Asperger’s; and Cognitive Impairments.
Also, Phil McGraw had co-founded his practice with his father Joe in Wichita Falls, Texas.
After Phil McGraw had co-founded Courtroom Sciences, Inc.; he had left the practice of psychology entirely, although he had renewed his psychology medical license each year for the next 16 years until he had retired it in 2006.
In 2002, the the California Board of Psychology determined in 2002 that he did not require a license because his show involves “entertainment” rather than psychology.
It was through Courtroom Sciences, Inc. that Phil McGraw had first met Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey had hired Courtroom Sciences, Inc. to prepare her for the Amarillo Texas beef trial. Oprah Winfrey was so impressed with Phil McGraw that she thanked him for her victory in that case, which ended had in 1998. Shortly thereafter, Oprah Winfrey had invited Phil McGraw to appear on her show. His appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show had proved so successful that he began appearing weekly as a relationship and life strategy expert on Tuesdays starting in April, 1998.

This episode of Phil McGraw’s talk show that takes place in a colonial-style house that he had built, and had installed cameras in nearly every corner of the house to the point where if it were like the KGB had been spying on whoever Phil McGraw had live in the “Dr. Phil house”.
This episode of Phil McGraw’s talk show was part of a mini-series that he had created about his so-called “Man Camp” in 2007.
One of the husbands in this episode whose name was Scott reminds me a lot of Elliott Sadler.
This person whose name is Scott, seems to be into trucks as much as Elliott Sadler is, had the same type of awful looking longer hairstyle that Elliott Sadler had at this time; and also had the same type of ridiculous-looking facial hair that Elliott Sadler also had wore as of this time.
Something tells me that Elliott Sadler, at one time; may or may not have been addicted to alcohol as much as this Scott person was on the show.
If I were at the right place at that time, I would have both Elliott Sadler and that Scott person’s hair cut differently and wouldn’t allow either one of them to wear that peculiar facial hair.
Also, this Scott’s person’s muscles are as unsightly as Elliott Sadler’s, and if I had magical powers; I would transform them both from being mesomorphic to being fat and overweight.
I may be into trucks as much as these two men, but not the same types of trucks that these two men are into. I’d always leave a truck bone-stock, and never would I ever customize a truck, such as putting aftermarket wheels, lift-kits; and modifying the engine, transmission; and drivetrain.

A Blue Bird conventional on the International chassis & cowl with the short-lived DT408 diesel engine.
The DT408 was quickly created by decreasing the bore and stroke of the DT466 so that they can swiftly have a replacement for the DT360, which had to be discontinued because it couldn’t comply with the EPA’s then-new emissions regulations by 1994.
The DT408 was very problematic, and was discontinued by late 1995.
