If you’ve been following this Blog for a while, you know that I don’t have any tolerance for Family Gatherings in the normal sense (or Get-Togethers), depending on which term you prefer to use.
I only have tolerance for socially abnormal Family Gatherings, such as those with my father’s family; where we don’t cook, eat at the table together, watch sporting events on Television together, and have the types of conversations people normally have during Family Gatherings. Instead, we have intellectual conversations; and we go out to eat at a Restaurant together.
I also do not care in the slightest that my father is from a family that is relatively small, and I also do not care in the slightest that everyone from my father’s family is twice or thrice my age because I have a preference for individuals who are significantly older than I am and individuals from previous generations, particularly individuals who were born prior to the year 1975.
Furthermore, I am indifferent to the fact that I associate with members of my father’s family who are significantly older than myself, or with others who are much older. If I am considered an old soul, spiritually and emotionally rooted in a different era, and if these traits are regarded as socially unconventional, I remain unaffected. Additionally, if these aspects of my personality cause certain individuals to become frightened to the extent that they wish to involve the Police or other Law Enforcement authorities.
Additionally, if these aspects of my personality induce such fear in certain individuals that they feel compelled to involve the Police or other Law Enforcement agencies; so be it. I will not permit the perspectives of individuals opposed to me, who will always and forever be rooted in the past, to dictate my life until the very moment of my passing and my transition to other celestial realms.
The family gatherings in the pictures below deserve to be ruined, especially with these families watching Sporting Events on Television together, these families being into Sports and Fitness, these families cooking and sitting at the table together; and the bald male family members should barred from shacing their heads with a Razor and Shaving Cream, or one of these newfangled Electric Shavers intended for Head Shaving; and instead be forced to have a full head of hair, and wear the same hairstyle as yours truly, the owner of this Blog; with bangs covering their foreheads:
Strange, Young, And Radical Modern Children’s Entertainer Who Calls Himself “Blippi”, Who Appeals To Young, Radical Parents; And Their Parents Who Are Likely To Grow Up To Be Just As Radical, If Not More Radical Than Their Parents:
The world needs more Shari Lewis, and her Puppets and Sidekicks Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, and Charlie Horse. The world also needs more of Mr. Fred Rogers.
A family member embodies qualities of intellect, shrewdness, astuteness, and articulate expression, often being significantly older than myself; this is particularly true for numerous individuals within my father’s family. A family member is also defined by a lack of cleverness, insight, eloquence, sociability, affability, or a penchant for fun. This definition extends to those who may exhibit varying degrees of physical activity, encompassing individuals from both older generations and those belonging to the late Generation X or early Millennial cohorts. This characterization applies uniformly to all members of my maternal lineage. Furthermore, it is important to note that: Modern NASCAR Drivers Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Regan Smith, Matt Kenseth And His Son Ross, Elliott Sadler, Josh Wise, And Johnny Sauter; Modern Formula One Drivers Nick Heidfeld And Jenson Button; NBA Players And Coaches Greg Foster, Jason Kidd, Josh Oppenheimer, Scot Pollard, Matt Geiger, Steve Nash, And The Late Eric Montross; NHL Players Derek Morris, Shane Doan And His Son Josh, Martin LaPointe, Rod Brind’Amour, Steve Begin, Cale Hulse, Ethan Moreau, Josh Gratton, and Ryan Clowe; NFL Players Tom Brady, Ron Gronkowski And Each Of His Five Siblings, Chad Greenway, Coy Wire, Brothers Bruce And Gino Gradkowski, Brothers Luke, And Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, MLB Players Billy Koch, Tim Hudson, Justin Masterson, Dustan Mohr, Kevin Youkilis, Brett Gardner, Kyle McClellan, Steve Pearce, Chad Gaudin, Tyler Collins, And Reed Johnson; Television Personality and Drag Racer Bruno Massel, And Television Personalities Known As “The Property Brothers”, Scott MacGillivray, Mike Holmes Jr., And The Teutul Family.
Generally speaking, a lack of cleverness, insight, eloquence, sociability, affability, and a penchant for fun also applies to nearly all later Millennials, and all individuals from the Generation Z, Generation Alpha, and Generation Beta generations.
The alternate version of my parents, who are displeased with me and wish to evict me from their modest tract house situated on a typical small lot in a typical subdivision in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Michigan, will contact the legitimate version of my parents and arrange for me to be transported to the legitimate version of my parents, who reside under one roof with my paternal grandmother.
The legitimate version of my father drives his Diesel-powered GMT400 Chevrolet 2-Door Tahoe to the home in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Michigan to retrieve me.
The alternate version of my parents both inform the legitimate version of my father that this child is an extremely difficult, obnoxious, inimical, uncongenial, cantankerous, irascible, and surly individual. He is entirely yours. We will no longer be required to reside with an individual who is so discordant.
In front of the alternate version of my parents, my father says to me, “Let’s escape from the reality that the alternate version of your mother and I inhabit, which has tragically impacted you, and enter the proper, definitive reality”.
As we are driving back home to our homestead in Lakeville Township, Michigan, my father informs me, “I am uncertain as to how these alternate versions of your mother and I managed to abduct you; however, you will soon be reunited with us, Grandma (my paternal grandmother), and our numerous Dogs.” These alternate versions of your mother and I are such eccentric individuals, leading the lives they lead, associating with the specific side of the family they belong to, the possessions they possess, the activities they engage in, and the perspective they hold on the world. You are no longer required to contend with this alternative reality and these distorted versions of your mother and me.
Subsequently, my father says to me, “You will always sit in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with bucket seats, in the middle of the front bench seat in our suburban nest to your mother, your grandmother, and I. You will never, ever, ever sit in the backseat of a vehicle. You will be able to watch CBS programming on Channel 2 WJBK-TV, and Channel 7 WXYZ-TV will always remain owned and operated by ABC.”
As we proceed back to our home in Lakeville Township, my father assures me, “You will always sit in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with bucket seats, in the middle of the front bench seat in our suburban nest to your mother, your grandmother, and I. You will never, ever, ever sit in the backseat of a vehicle”.
“You will have the opportunity to view Channel 7’s locally-produced, in-house programming, including “A.M Detroit,” “Kelley & Company,” “Good Afternoon Detroit,” “Bonds On,” and “Woman to Woman”, adds my father.
Afterwards, my father says to me” Jefferson-Pilot continues to operate and retains its fundamental Insurance and Annuities business, as well as its Broadcasting business. Jefferson-Pilot continues to own and operate WBT-AM and FM, as well as WBTV-TV, in part and parcel. WBT-FM, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, maintains its “Sunny” appellation and Mainstream Adult Contemporary format. It never adopts the “Link” moniker, nor does it ever adopt the Hot Adult Contemporary format or become WLNK-FM. Whenever we are in the Charlotte area, as well as when we are visiting with our friends in the NASCAR community and touring the WBT AM-FM and WBTV Studio at 1 Julian Price Place in the Charlotte city proper, you will be able to listen to 1110 WBT-AM and Sunny 107.9 WBT-FM”.
Afterward, while we were still on our way home, my father said to me, “In order to fully address the adversity and grief that you have experienced, we will purchase an additional number of electric fans, visit car, tractor, recreational vehicle (RV), and medium-heavy duty truck dealerships, as well as school bus distributors. We will also take you to the Key Copying Department at Sears to obtain numerous copies of the keys to our house and outbuilding for both ourselves and my paternal grandmother. Additionally, we will take you to numerous Amateur/Ham Radio Club meetings and a dozen Radio and Television Stations. You will never have to fret about, or actually confront the reality of, riding in the backseat of a vehicle, including a Minivan, or even riding in a Minivan at all. You will be able to travel in a Conversion Van, Recreational Vehicle (RV), or both, as you have always done before this alternate version of your mother and I abducted you.
As we continue to drive home, my father says to me, “I am at a loss as to why the alternate versions of your mother and I would wish to associate with the side of the family that is completely inane, unintelligent, inarticulate, and dimwitted; your mother’s entire family.” These alternate versions of your mother and I are squandering their time and the rest of their lives by associating with your mother’s entire family, just as they are squandering the rest of their lives by remaining in the small, cramped tract house on a small, cramped lot within a typical subdivision in Warren, Michigan”.
Upon meeting and subsequently marrying your mother, I had rescued her from a dysfunctional family and prevented her from pursuing a negative life trajectory. Your mother’s family has never offered her the same level of companionship and affinity as your grandmother, great aunts, great uncle, and second and third cousins. I will also inform you that I have consistently pushed your mother outside of her comfort zone since we first met and subsequently married. My sister Chris, who is a social butterfly in stark contrast to your mother and myself, had introduced Jim’s family to your mother’s entire family. The acquaintance between your mother’s entire family and Jim’s family is a match made in heaven; Darlene and Carletta, Moe, and Lucille each have quite a bit in common with your mother’s parents’ brothers, Aunt, Uncle, and your mother’s eldest brother’s in-laws; all of the children from your mother’s entire family have a lot in common with Moe and Carletta’s daughters and Darlene’s sons; Jim’s family has long since replaced us as the family that your mother’s entire family has in their lives. The youngest daughter of Moe and Carletta is equally buffoonish as each of the children in your mother’s family. It is of no consequence that I have a small family, that the majority of my family is between two and three times your age, or that family gatherings consist of nothing more than intelligent, shrewd conversations, with minimal gift exchange and no cooking or eating together. In conclusion, the age and kinship disparities between you and my family, as well as the socially unconventional and subdued gatherings that we typically engage in with my family, are of no consequence”, adds my father.
Afterwards, my father says to me” These alternate versions of your mother and I are interested in maintaining a socially normal household, chauffeuring individuals, including your mother’s parents, in a car-based minivan, and enjoying lengthy car rides. They are deranged for being that way and for being interested in those socially acceptable activities”.
Subsequently, my father says to me” These alternate versions of your mother and I are unaware of the detrimental consequences of their decision to acquire the substandard vehicles they do. They are under the impression that they must emulate the lifestyles of the couples with children who own Caravans, Lumina APVs, Ventures, Mercury Villagers, and their own examples of Ford Motor Company’s Front-Wheel-Drive, Car-based replacement for the Aerostar, the Windstar. Additionally, they are compelled to encourage the one version of your sister to participate in Band and Music, encourage you to participate in Sports, and engage in social activities with the Band and Sports Clubs and Teams, much like the mainstream and socially normal families. They also use their substandard, unreliable Minivan to transport individuals”.
Afterwards, my father says to me “Furthermore, these alternate versions of your mother and I are irrational for buying into the well-mannered and urbane character of Car-based Minivans, as well as the genteel and hypercivilized images and stereotypes that the general public is presented with when they observe the other version of your mother and I driving, parking, entering, and exiting those Car-based Minivans”.
Then, my father says to me “Who cares if the stepwell within the doorjamb prevents both of your mother’s parents from entering and exiting the Truck-based Minivans (Compact Vans) by General Motors and Ford—the Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari and the Ford Aerostar—the T4 Volkswagen Transporter/EuroVan, the R30 Toyota MasterAce and its successor—the TCR21W Estima/Previa—and the Full-Size Vans manufactured by General Motors, Ford, and Dodge (Chrysler). Who cares if the stepwell within the doorjamb impedes the other iteration of your mother from entering and exiting while wearing a dress? Moreover, who cares if Minivans have the lowest and most affordable Automobile Insurance rates?”.
Afterwards, my father says to me “On the other hand, Grandma, Aunt Marie, Mary Ann, Uncle Joe, and Aunt Martha would never complain about entering and exiting the Full-Size Vans manufactured by General Motors, Ford, and Dodge (Chrysler), despite the stepwell within the doorjamb. They would brazen out, put up, and shut up”.
Subsequently, my father says to me “You are aware that we only acquire vehicles out of emotion. This Diesel 2-Door Tahoe, our Diesel Suburban, our Diesel-powered Conversion Van, our current Buick-branded General Motors B-Platform Station Wagon, the Golf GTI, and the Corrado serve as occasional drivers. Additionally, we operate the Class 6 Medium-Duty Truck with a Box/Cube Van Body whenever we require to transport items”.
My father states “Ideally, for individuals like us—Americans who appreciate European automobiles—the French manufacturers Renault, Citroen, and Peugeot, along with the Italian brands Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo, would market their vehicles domestically. This would cater to the emotional inclinations of American consumers, even if it yields minimal or no profit. However, they struggle to compete against American, Korean, and Japanese automakers operating in the United States and Canada, with their sole competitive advantage being against Volkswagen”.
My father subsequently states “Ideally, General Motors and Ford would acquiesce to American consumers who prefer European vehicles and provide models created and produced by their European divisions, which were initially intended just for the European market, in the United States. For example, selling the Fiesta, European Escort, Sierra, and Scorpio instead of the Mazda-designed and Kia-manufactured Festiva, the North American Escort and its Mercury counterparts—the Lynx and Tracer, the Tempo and its Mercury equivalent—the Topaz, the Taurus/Sable, and the contemporary Front-Wheel-Drive Lincoln Continental; the Americanized J-Platform vehicles marketed by all five of General Motors’ Passenger Car Divisions, X-Platform vehicles (Chevrolet Citation, Pontiac Phoenix, Oldsmobile Omega, and Buick Skylark), L/N-Platform vehicles (Chevrolet Corsica/Beretta/Malibu, Pontiac Grand Am, Oldsmobile Calais/Achieva/Alero, and Buick Skylark), and the Front-Wheel-Drive A/W/U-Platform”.
My father subsequently says to me “Additionally, for individuals like us who conduct thorough research on Japanese automakers, possess an understanding of global automotive markets beyond North America, and purchase vehicles for emotional rather than practical reasons, it is evident that Japanese manufacturers could successfully market Kei/Micro Cars, Trucks, and Vans; the Diesel-powered Corolla and Sunny/Sentra; the 3 and 5-Door Hatchback variants of the Corolla and Sunny/Sentra; the Toyota HiAce and Granvia Vans; the Nissan Urvan; the Toyota TownAce Van; the Nissan Serena; the Nissan Patrol; the Toyota Chaser and Cresta; the Toyota Crown, Crown Majesta, and Century; as well as the Nissan Cedric/Gloria, Cima, President, and Leopard in North America, irrespective of any potential profitability. Toyota, however; does market the Soarer in North America as the Lexus SC”.
My father then says to me “We are not concerned with whether anyone is offended by the fact that we own a Recreational Vehicle (RV) and travel with it, as they are either not interested in traveling in this manner or believe that owning, driving, or transporting an RV is impractical”.
Then, my father says” I am astounded that the alternate version of me would be as practical as he is and purchase vehicles to commute to and from his place of employment. This includes vehicles such as the Dodge/Plymouth Neon, the Pontiac Sunfire, the Pontiac Grand Am, the Ford Tempo, and even a Honda”.
Subsequently, my father says to me “Equipping a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle such as this Diesel 2-Door Tahoe, our Diesel Suburban, any Full-Size Van, including our Diesel-powered Conversion Van; our current Buick-branded General Motors B-Platform Station Wagon, the Truck-based Minivans (Compact Vans) by General Motors and Ford: the Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari, and the Ford Aerostar with a Rear Locking or Limited-Slip Differential; and even a Motorhome coachbuilder ordering a Motorhome Chassis with a Rear Locking or Limited-Slip Differential, and the Transportation Department of a Public School System and/or a School Bus coachbuilder ordering a School Bus Chassis or building their own Stripped Transit-style Chassis with a Rear Locking or Limited-Slip Differential are much more important than not only how practical a Car-based Minivan might be, but most Front-Wheel-Drive Passenger Cars; such as those designed and built atop General Motors’ J, N, L, Front-Wheel-Drive A/W, and H-Platforms, Ford’s CE14, CT120, DN5, and DN101 Platforms; and Chrysler’s K, PL, and JA-Platforms. Nissan and their subsidiary JATCO, which is responsible for the design and production of Transmissions and Transaxles, manufacture Manual and Automatic Front-Wheel-Drive Transaxles that incorporate Limited-Slip Differentials”.
My father says to me” These alternate versions of your mother and I are also insane for their desire for a second home or a permanent residence on or near the water. They do not object to the fact that they are still in close proximity to other residents while living on or near the water, and they maintain a fervent passion for boats. They are squandering the remaining years of their existence by possessing boats. It would be significantly more advantageous for them to own Recreational Vehicles (RVs), and get into and Amateur Radio (Ham Radio)”.
While we are still driving whilst on our way back home, my father says to me “” The new generation of Automobile Racers, including Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers, Regan Smith, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Carl Edwards, Jenson Button, Nick Heidfeld, brothers Kurt and Kyle Busch, and A.J. Allmendinger, as well as the new generation of Automobile Racing Journalists, including Marty Smith. This new generation of Automobile Racers and Automobile Racing journalists is as buffoonish as all of the children in your mother’s family. Given the sociable, clubbable, and inane nature of the children from your mother’s family, it would not be surprising if they encountered these modern automobile racers at any establishment, including a Pub, Fern Bar, Nightclub, Saloon, Tavern, Beer Hall, Shebeen, modern Wine Bar, Coffeehouse, or a Cigar Bar (given the extent to which some of the children from your mother’s family smoke). Matt Kenseth and Garrett, your mother’s sibling, would have a great rapport, as they both have sons as a result of accidental pregnancies and are extremely passionate about Sports. Andy, the son of Garrett, and Ross, the son of Matt Kenseth, would have a particularly close relationship. This is due to the fact that they were both born as the result of accidental pregnancies, they both suffer from androgenic alopecia, they are both sports enthusiasts, much like their fathers, and they are both unaware of, and not interested in, any other aspects of life beyond their respective Sports and their immediate families. It would also not be surprising if any one or more of these Automobile Racers accidentally caused the pregnancies of Dan and Linda’s daughters, as well as Moe and Carletta’s youngest daughter Amy, as a result of their immature sexual behavior. This would result in these modern Automobile Racers becoming what are known as “Baby Daddies””.
My father says to me “Who cares about the new generation of Automobile Racers who are enjoying and accepting of traditional family gatherings, such as those hosted by your mother’s family and Jim’s family in Virginia, and who are enjoying the opportunity to converse and form relationships with individuals who are either their own age or in close proximity? This is another reason why the new generation of Automobile Racers would interact well with the children of your mother’s extended family, Moe and Carletta’s daughters, and Darlene’s sons”.
Then, my father says to me “This new generation of Automobile Racers, as well as numerous NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL Players, must understand the significance of Cars, Trucks, School Buses, Motorhomes, and Fifth-Wheel RV Trailers in comparison to Sports and Fitness, socially normal associations and relationships, and socially normal family gatherings such as those hosted by your mother’s family and Jim’s family. Additionally, Electric Fans, Amateur/Ham Radio, and the Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television Industry are all more important than Sports and Fitness, socially normal associations and relationships, and socially normal family gatherings like those hosted by your mother’s family and Jim’s family”. Subsequently, my father says to me “In addition to the plethora of NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL players, this new generation of automobile racers must also understand the significance of being an Autistic individual, receiving Special Education services, including Occupational Therapy services while in School, and being treated to the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol while receiving Occupational Therapy services. These factors are not only more significant than participation in a School’s Sports and Band programs, but also more significant than socially normal associations and relationships, as well as socially normal family gatherings such as those hosted by your mother’s family and Jim’s family”.
As we are still driving, my father says to me “The Warren Consolidated Schools Public School District employs numerous staff members, including the rude and dimwitted School Bus Drivers that are your mother’s colleagues, as well as Teachers like Ann Kolinski, Carolyn Armbruster, Terri Dworkin, Celia Socha, and the married couple Steve and Carole Gerling. These individuals are not only as dimwitted and inarticulate as your mother’s entire family and some of my colleagues at my place of employment, but they are also as discordant, contentious, quarrelsome, and irritable as your mother’s entire family and some of the people I work with at my place of employment”.
Afterwards, my father says to me “All of these individuals are deserving of our hostility, and avoidance”.
My father then proceeds to say to me “Being the youthful, foolish, trivial, and unwise individuals that they are; and in an alternate reality, the irresponsible management of Jefferson-Pilot Communications altering the call letters, format, and name of WBT-FM to WLNK, showing a lack of respect for the legacy of the WBT Stations and Jefferson-Standard/Jefferson-Pilot Communications as a whole; and their attempts to cater to a young, trivial audience similar to themselves; Cheryl “Sheri Lynch” Wardlynch ought not to exhibit kindness and tolerance towards this young, trivial audience they are attempting to attract; and should she, on behalf of this FM Station that in the alternate reality has been renamed WLNK-FM; be promoting, she should be particularly kind and tolerant towards all the children of your mother’s entire family as they foolishly travel from the Detroit area to the Charlotte area merely to attend foolish Musical Concerts in that region, with Moe and Carletta’s youngest daughter Amy also foolishly traveling from the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area in Virginia to the Charlotte area just to attend foolish Musical Concerts; any younger Teachers employed by Warren Consolidated Schools foolishly traveling from the Detroit area to the Charlotte area just to attend foolish Musical Concerts, and any of your mother’s young colleagues who are School Bus Drivers, in addition to your mother’s colleagues who are Motorcycle/Biker women foolishly traveling from the Detroit area to the Charlotte area just to attend foolish Musical Concerts; and act as a Sugar Mommy, comforting and assisting all of these young, trivial individuals as if they were journeying to New York State merely to attend Woodstock”.
My father then proceeds to say to me “Bob Lacey, who is likely to have been coerced into agreeing to these call letter, format, and moniker changes, is unlikely to be kindhearted and tolerant towards any young Teacher who has an AM/FM Radio or Boombox in his or her Classroom within a School in the Charlotte area, turned on during School and Class hours, and tuned to this FM Station that in the other reality has been rechristened WLNK-FM. Additionally, any inane School Bus Driver while driving any School Bus owned and operated by any School District throughout the Charlotte area that has been ordered with an AM/FM Radio, tuned to this FM Station that in the other reality has been rechristened WLNK-FM. You are aware that Bob Lacey, a consistently exceptional and diligent employee of Jefferson-Pilot Communications, will go to great lengths to honor the history of the WBT Stations. This includes maintaining the FM Station’s format in a manner that is consistent with the history of Jefferson-Pilot Communications and the WBT Stations”, says my father.
This also includes playing music that is appropriate for the stations’ respective histories”, says my father.
My father then proceeds to say to me “Shannon, one of the daughters of Mary Ann, may believe and assert that the new generation of Automobile Racers is similar to the three sons of Colin and Sheila, as well as the children of your mother’s family. She may also believe that you are socially normal, athletic, and similar to others of your generation. However, the reality is that she is entirely incorrect and self-centered in her assessment of you. She is, however; entirely correct in her assessment of the three sons of Colin and Sheila, the children of your mother’s family, the daughters of Moe and Carletta, and the sons of Darlene”.
Afterwards, my father says to me “In other words, Shannon may believe that the new generation of Automobile Racers is the most wonderful thing to ever happen, and the greatest thing since Sliced Bread, because they are contemporaries who are just as athletic, modern, progressive, and dynamic as each of Colin and Sheila’s three sons, and all of the children from your mother’s family. However, this new generation of Automobile Racers are not truly Automobile Racers; they are Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, or Wrestlers who became Automobile Racers because it was the only other activity they had trained for during their childhood and adolescence. Otherwise, they would have to enter an entirely new and different world of work. The truth is that she is making a grave error. NASCAR will never adapt or change, nor will they ever permit this new generation of Pit Crew members and Drivers to compete and perform in NASCAR. Similarly, they will never permit foreign manufacturers to compete in NASCAR, and they will not permit NASCAR to become as opulent, flamboyant, and replete with new money as the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL have become. NASCAR has always been for and by Car enthusiasts, and it will always be about the Cars that they race. They will never intermingle with Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, and Wrestling”.
My father subsequently says to me “Her husband Ray, her grandmother Aunt Marie, and her mother Mary Ann will consistently discipline Shannon, prevent her from being antagonistic toward you, and maintain her composure. Shannon inquires as to the rationale behind your unique approaches and behaviors”.
Then, my father says to me “When it comes to someone befriending, associating with, and conversing with another individual who is significantly older than that individual, Shannon is the person who is the pot calling the kettle black.
The fact that Ray is 23 years older than Shannon herself, as well as the fact that Alison’s spouse David is a significant amount older than she is, is especially noteworthy. The fundamental point is that Shannon should maintain silence and not only acknowledge that you are an Autistic individual, but also that you have a strong preference for interacting with and associating with individuals who are significantly older than you and who may be more distantly related to you”.
My father then proceeds to say to me “” You need not be concerned about the potential aversiveness of any of the Gilligan children toward the significance of the family to you. You are free to discuss the family with Grandma, Aunt Marie, and Mary Ann at your leisure, and you will receive the information directly from the Horse’s mouth, as the saying goes. You also need not be concerned about the likelihood that Ann will be aversive toward the significance of the family to you. Uncle Joe and Aunt Martha are more than willing to discuss the family with you. As the saying goes, “Get the facts straight from the Horse’s mouth””.
Subsequently, my father says to me “You also do not need to be concerned about the aversion of Shari Lewis’s daughter Mallory to the significance of her mother to you, the fondness that Grandma has always had for Shari Lewis, or the fact that Mallory is opposed to collaborating on craft projects with Grandma. Whenever Shannon and Ray bring Shari Lewis and her sister-in-law, the esteemed novelist Judith Krantrz, to our homestead in their motorhome, you will always have the opportunity to converse with and associate with Shari Lewis”.
My father then proceeds to say to me “Dennis and his wife Carolyn would derive significant advantages from meeting Ray. Dennis and perhaps Carolyn would establish a rapport with Ray in the same manner that you and I have”.
My parents genuinely value the fact that they are the only two individuals on Earth who know me better than anyone else and who fully comprehend me from the inside out. They have been listening to the opinions of others on how to raise an Autistic child for my entire life, and they are willing to allow me to live with them until their passing.
My father and I eventually return home to our residence in Lakeland, Michigan. We park in our lengthy driveway in his diesel-powered GMT400 2-Door Tahoe.
A Canadian of Polish descent named Janina Maria Stronski, who has worked as a day laborer, strip club employee, stand-up comedienne, and talk show host under the name Jenny Jones, exhibits eccentricities comparable to those of Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Gayla Holmes-Zemmin-Leslie, and Warren Consolidated Schools School Bus Drivers Deborah Giganic and Candace Imbrunone-Barr.
As Jenny Jones and her Co-Author Patsi Bale-Cox had transcribed in her Biography that was published in 1997; Jenny Jones’ father, Jan Stronski, is originally from an area in Poland that has since been transferred to the Ukraine in 1939; what is now the Ukrainian City of Drohobych.
Jenny Jones’ father, and later; her mother Zoska (who had later changed her name to the Anglicized version of her Polish given name; Sophia once they had settled in Canada) after they had married during the war, were tortured by the Nazi Germans, and later by the Soviets/Russians.
The Soviets and Russians had sent Jenny Jones’ parents to Work Camps as far away as the Ural Mountains, the Siberian portion of Russia, Kazakhstan; and Mongolia.
Jenny Jones’ parents were later sent to Persia/Iran decades before the Iranian Revolution in 1979, where while her father was working as a Spy for the Russians/Soviets; her mother gave birth to a son who she had with another man. She named this child Roman, and this child would only live two months before succumbing to a Stomach disorder with bleeding bowels. This child’s body would ultimately wind up being interred at a Cemetery in Persia/Iran.
Jenny Jones’ parents would later be sent to Palestine, where they would give birth to her sister Helena Elizabeth Stronski in 1944; and Janina/Jenny, herself in 1946.
Jenny Jones’ would settle in Canada with her nuclear family in 1948, arriving at a Port in Nova Scotia; and would reside in Ontario. Sadly, Jenny Jones’ father would kill a Pet Rabbit that she had owned as a child; and cook it for Dinner.
It is profoundly troubling to consider how Jenny Jones’ father, who implored the divine for his survival during his harrowing imprisonment in a Polish Church at the hands of the Nazis, was granted the grace to escape their clutches only to face subsequent arrest by the Soviets. After enduring the conditions of a Russian Prison, he was released under the condition of serving as a Spy for the Soviet regime. How could he then take the life of any creature, including a Rabbit, thereby permitting that creature to embark on its journey to Heaven, to other Celestial Realms, and beyond to other Universes?
Jenny Jones’ father would eventually divorce his mother, relocate to London, England, United Kingdom; while her mother would stay behind in Canada, continuing to work as a Seamstress.
Jenny Jones, shaped by a harsh and unconventional upbringing, fled from home and discontinued her education during her pre-teen years, subsequently becoming involved in dubious pursuits, facing arrest, and ultimately being returned to her mother. Jenny Jones and her sister were subsequently sent to reside with their father and his second wife in Britain. However, Janina/Jenny once again departed from home, engaging in questionable activities on the streets of London’s less savory areas, leading to her arrest and eventual return to her father and stepmother.
Janina/Jenny would perceive showbusiness, even in its most garish forms, as a potential avenue for liberation from the harsh and unconventional upbringing she experienced across two continents—North America and the British Isles, which are distinctly separated from mainland Continental Europe by the English Channel.
My paternal grandfather was born to a Belgian father and an Austrian mother in a region of Poland that was transferred to Ukraine in 1939; specifically, in the city of Stryi (then known as the Polish City of Stryj) at the time of his birth. He spent his childhood and adolescence in what is now the Ukrainian City of Kolomyia, where he lived with his biological parents and his stepfather, a Commander in the Polish Military; it was then referred to as the Polish City of Kołomyja.
Jenny Jones’ father Jan Stronski, being originally from what is now the Ukranian City of Drohobych; is not too far away from where my paternal grandfather was born in what is now the Ukranian City of Stryi.
As I have stated early in this post, Janina Maria “Jenny Jones” Stronski exhibits eccentricities comparable to those of Motorcyclist/Bikers and Warren Consolidated Schools School Bus Drivers Deborah Giganic and Candace Imbrunone-Barr, and Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Gayla Holmes-Zemmin-Leslie.
Especially when Jenny Jones has proudly allowed her Daytime Talk Show to evolve into a Trash Talk Show; Jenny Jones has had new, and often young wierdo music Artists perform on her Talk Show as it evolved into a Trash Talk Show, the 1990’s had progressed, up until the cancellation of Jenny Jones’ Talk Show in 2003; Jenny Jones was a low-class Comedienne just like Roseanne Barr, and Jenny Jones also enjoyed working in Strip Clubs.
Gayla Zemmin’s first husband Richard “Dick” Zemmin, has lived most of his life in the hoity toity, struck up section of the Detroit area; the Cities of Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
The Intermediate and Big American Cars that were produced during the 1964 model year, including the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser and it’s Platform-mate, the second-generation Chevrolet El Camino both being introduced in late 1963 at the beginning of the 1964 model year; the Full-Size Station Wagons produced by General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler during the 1964 model year; the Cadillacs, and the Lincoln Continental that were produced during the 1964 model year were more important than Dick and Gayla marrying each other in early 1964:
Where Dick Zemmin has lived for most of his adult life, the hoity toity, struck up section of the Detroit area; the Cities of Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; is also where the relatives that I have never, ever meant to have anything to do with; have lived for much of their adult (and in the case of the children from this side of my family that I have never, ever, ever meant to have anything to do with; and never, ever want to have anything to do with going forward) their entire lives).
Country Music Artists Dolly Parton and Diana “Naomi” Judd, Children’s Book Author Marc Brown, and who is now King Charles III of Great Britain and the Commonwealth of Nations each having been born in 1946 are more important than Jenny Jones having been born in 1946; Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers Carolyn Armbruster and husband and wife Steve and Carole Gerling each having been born in 1946; and one of the relatives that I’ve never, ever, ever meant to have anything to do with: Linda Osplack-Suarez, one of numerous wives of the one-time Mayor of the Detroit suburb of Madison Heights, Michigan; George Suarez.
My parents, my paternal grandmother, and I would each be living together under one roof, and on acres of property in Oakland Charter Township, Michigan; Leonard Township, Michigan; Lakeville Township, Michigan; Bruce Township, Michigan; Armada, Michigan; Casco Township, Michigan; or St. Clair, Michigan; and we will have totally cut off all of the relatives that I’ve never, ever, ever meant to have anything to do with. We would never visit them. They would visit us. Only Jim Curling’s family would have anything to do with them, and would associate with them whenever they traveled to the Detroit area from Moe and Darlene’s native area, and Carletta’s adopted area of the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
I frequently ponder the question, “What is the significance of entering into marriage, dedicating oneself to a relationship, engaging with in-laws, raising children, and establishing a family?”
What is the rationale behind an individual dedicating their entire existence to their partner, in-laws, and offspring?
What is the significance of engaging deeply with and feeling at ease in the presence of unfamiliar individuals, as well as the desire to disclose aspects of one’s life to a stranger?
I regard mine, or any other Car ethusiast’s collection of vehicles as mine, or any other Car enthusiast’s nuclear family; rather than having a spouse, children, and a traditional family structure.
The pursuit of ambitions and the creation of bucket lists hold greater significance than the traditional constructs of marriage, parenthood, and familial ties.
I prefer to be egocentric, and dedicate my life to myself; rather than to a spouse, children, nuclear family, close extended family, first cousins, nephews.
The essence of a person’s character holds greater significance than the act of sharing one’s existence with a partner, offspring, immediate family, and close extended family.
The Teutul Family Needs To Comprehend How Much More Important The Broadcasting Industry (Including ABC, WABC-AM, WPLJ-FM, And WABC-TV), Station Wagons, School Buses, Tractors, And Electric Fans Are Than Motorcycles, Metalworking, Blacksmithing, Weightlifting, And Bodybuilding; And The Teutul Boys Also Need To Comprehend How Much More Important Amateur/Ham Radio Is Than Sports And Fitness.
My friend and former ABC Radio Executive Allen Shaw being hired by ABC employee Ralph Beauxdine from WCFL-AM in Chicago in circa 1966-1967, Allen originally working in that was billed by ABC as their Special Projects Division, Allen installing the Automated “Love” format at each of their seven FM Radio Station at the time when the FCC had issued a decree from that point forward, FM Stations were no longer allowed to simulcast their AM Parents all the time, and had to air programming that is at least 50% separate from their AM Parents from that point forward, Allen hiring John Rydgren to work as the Announcer on the pre-recorded programming of the “Love” format, Allen eventually discontinuing the automated “Love” format and installing live Progressive Rock formats at each of ABC’s seven FM Radio Stations in 1970, Allen changing the call letters of each of ABC’s seven FM Radio Stations in 1971, including WABC-FM to WPLJ at the insistence of Morning Disc Jockey Dave Herman, who suggested that Allen change the call letters of WABC-FM to the initials of the song “White Port, Lemon Juice” and Allen reluctantly agreeing to change the call letters to WPLJ and telling Dave “”fine, we’ll change the call letters of WABC-FM to WPLJ, the initials of the Song “White Port, Lemon Juice” that was originally recorded by the Rhythm & Blues Quartet “The Four Aces”, and later covered by the Hard Rock Band “Mothers Of Invention””, Allen Shaw transferring Willard Lochridge, Larry Berger, and Pat St. John (for a time, who had also worked at CKLW-AM in Windsor, Ontario, Canada) from WRIF (nee WXYZ-FM) in Detroit to WPLJ in the early 1970’s, Jim Kerr (who for a time, had worked at WKNR-AM in Detroit, later WNIC-AM and FM) transferring from WDAI-FM (nee WLS-FM) in Chicago to work at WPLJ, and other Disc Jockeys such as John Zacherle, Carol Miller, Jimmy Fink, Michael Cuscuna, Vin Scelsa Alex Bennett, Bob Marrone, Tony Pigg, Dave Charity, and Shelli Sonstein also working at WPLJ, Corrine Baldassano working as the Music Director of WPLJ, are all more important Paul Teutul Sr. listening to WPLJ-FM sometime during the 1970’s and early 1980’s in order to get his Hard Rock Music fix, and WPLJ-FM at one moment; playing Linda Ronstadt’s cover of Little Anthony & The Imperials’ song from 1965 titled “Hurt So Bad” that she had released in 1980.
Sadly, Michael Cuscuna had passed away in April, 2024.

WABC-AM originally being WJZ-AM, being put on the air in 1921 by Westinghouse, RCA acquiring WJZ-AM in 1923, The Bell System, Westinghouse, and RCA jointly creating NBC’s Blue Network in 1926 and making WJZ-AM the flagship Station of the Blue Network; Edward Noble acquiring the Blue Network from RCA and NBC in 1945 and renaming it the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Leonard Goldenson coming on board as the President of ABC in 1953, and orchestrating the merger between ABC and Paramount’s Movie Theater Division that same year; American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres, Inc. formally changing it’s name to American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. in July, 1965; WJZ-AM-FM and TV taking the WABC-AM-FM and TV call letters in 1953, Harold “Hal” Neal being promoted by ABC from WXYZ-AM in Detroit to being the President of the whole, entire Radio Division of ABC in 1972, WABC-AM abandoning much of the Network Radio Programming and the Middle Of The Road format in 1960 in order to take it’s coveted Top 40 format, Hal Neal (whose time at WXYZ-AM dates back to the time of it’s applying all that he had applied to WXYZ-AM to make WABC-AM equally, if not more successful in New York City; Hal Neal hiring Richard “Rick” Sklar to work as the Program Director of WABC-AM upon it taking the Top 40 format, Disc Jockeys Dan Ingram and Ron Lundy being hired by Rick Sklar from WIL-AM in St. Louis, Missouri to work as a couple of the Disc Jockeys at WABC-AM, Chuck Leonard, Herb Oscar Anderson, Frank Kingston Smith, Bob Dayton, Harry Harrison, Bruce Morrow “Cousin Brucie”, Johnny Donovan, Bob Lewis, Roby Yonge, Jim Nettleton, George Michael, Bob Cruz (a protégé of Dan Ingram), Charlie Greer, Bill Owen, Jay Reynolds, Les Marshak, Fred Hall, Mike McKay, Sturgis Griffin, Howard Hoffman, Steve O’Brien, and Elizabeth “Liz” Kiley being a few of the many more Disc Jockeys that would work at WABC-AM prior to it taking the News/Talk format in 1982; Fred Foy of WXYZ-AM and the Radio Programs it created prior to ABC acquiring it in 1946-“The Lone Ranger”, “The Green Hornet”, and “Sergeant Preston Challenge Of The Yukon” working as an Announcer at WABC-AM by this time, Louisiana native Winston “Win” Lloyd working as the Chief Engineer of WABC-AM, Jerry Zeller, Frank D’Elia, and William “Bill” Mozer working as a couple more of the many Engineers that have worked at WABC-AM, Glenn Morgan, and even later, Al Brady succeeding Rick Sklar as the Program Director of WABC-AM; ABC using Howard Cosell and Lou Boda to provide the Sports Reports on WABC-AM, John Rook of ABC’s other AM Stations KQV-AM in Pittsburgh and WLS-AM in Chicago being summoned by Hal Neal and Leonard Goldenson to travel to New York City to fill in for the Disc Jockeys and Engineers who were on strike in 1967, and Leonard Goldenson later rewarding John Rook with a $10,000 Bonus and a Letter of Appreciation for helping to keep WABC-AM on the air while the staff Disc Jockeys and Engineers were on strike; and Joanne Brancale and Rosemarie Ochiogrosso having both worked as a couple of the Engineering Department Secretaries at WABC-AM are all more important than Paul Teutul Sr’s siblings and the Teutul childrens’ paternal Aunts and Uncles listening to WABC-AM just to get their Top 40 fix.
Archive of WXYZ-AM, and later ABC Radio Network Programs “The Lone Ranger”, “The Green Hornet”, and “Sergeant Preston Challenge Of The Yukon” that Harold “Hal” Neal had provided voiceovers for during the late 1940’s:
All of the above about WPLJ are also more important than all of the Teutul children listening to WPLJ-FM to get their Current Hit Radio fix after Larry Berger had switched WPLJ from the Album Oriented Rock format Allen Shaw had installed, to succeeding it’s AM parent WABC-AM for the Top 40/Current Hit Radio audience in the New York City market; by switching WPLJ itself to the Top 40/CHR format in 1983, briefly switching WPLJ to an Urban Contemporary format and changing the call letters to WWPR in the process during the years 1987-1988, before changing the format back to Top 40/CHR, and the call letters back to WPLJ in 1988.
Video with Audio only of an Aircheck of WPLJ from August, 1983 of Larry Berger explaining his decision to change the format of WPLJ from the Album Oriented Rock format that Allen Shaw had installed a decade earlier; to Top 40/Current Hit Radio:
Those of you who are interested in the history of ABC Radio may purchase from Barnes & Noble, a copy of a Book that I wrote, utilizing information and images compiled by my friend and former ABC Radio Executive Allen Shaw:
The history of Malrite Corporation, and WHTZ-FM are more important than all of the Teutul children listening to WHTZ-FM in order to get their Current Hit Radio fix. Ohio-based Malrite Communications had acquired WVNJ-FM in 1983, and had sadly; ditched it’s pleasant Jazz format in favor of the awful Top 40/Current Hit Radio format, and changed the call letters to WHTZ-FM in the process.
Pictures from a time I had visited the Studio of one of Malrite’s original Radio Stations, WTTF-AM; in the Town of Tiffin, Ohio (no connection to the family that founded the Motorhome coachbuilder that is now owned by Thor Industries, Tiffin Motorhomes):
I don’t care for the Top 40, Progressive Rock, Album-Oriented Rock, Alternative Rock, Urban Contemporary, and Hip-Hop Radio formats. I also don’t like males having long hair, including Michael Joseph Teutul, and WHTZ-FM Disc Jockeys Chris Jagger and Elvis Duran:
And also, George McFly; who had worked at CBS owned and operated WBBM-FM in Chicago after CBS had sadly, ditched the pleasant Adult Contemporary format in favor of Mike Joseph’s “Hot Hits” Top 40 format, and even later; adopting a Mainstream Top 40 format. Like Paul Teutul Sr., his sons, and his nephew Matthew Teutul; George McFly also needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.

Paul Teutul Sr. and his sons each need to comprehend how much more important the history of NBC Radio is than Motorcycles, Sports, and Fitness.
Including a mutual friend of both Allen Shaw and I, Walter Sabo; having been haired into NBC by Fred Silverman; Walter being tasked in converting WNBC-FM/WNWS-FM into WYNY-FM; and crafting for WYNY the Adult Contemporary format as we know it today and since more recent times, converting the KNBC-FM/KNBR-FM in San Francisco into KYUU-FM, and installing what would later be known as the Hot Adult Contemporary format; converting the former WMAQ-FM in Chicago into WKQX-FM, installing an Album Rock format, and hiring Robert “Bob” Pittman (currently the CEO of Clear Channel/IHeart Communications as of the time of writing this post) as the Program Director of WKQX; converting WRC-FM in Washington D.C into WKYS-FM, installing the Urban Contemporary format, and also hiring Donnie Simpson in the process; WYNY-FM being one of the very first FM Stations to ever go on the air; with NBC having originally put it on the air in 1940 with the call letters W2XWG, then with the WEAF-FM call letters from 1944-1946, then with the WNBC-FM call letters the first time around 1946-1954, then with the WRCA-FM call letters (as the call letters of WNBC-AM and TV were also changed to WRCA at this time) from 1954-1960, the call letters of the AM, FM, and Television Stations being changed back to WNBC in 1960, the call letters of the FM Station later being changed to WNWS in 1975, and then you changed the call letters to WYNY effective January 1, 1977.
The Teutul family also needs to consider the facts that NBC, at one time; had owned and operated WKYC-AM-FM-TV in Cleveland, Ohio; NBC’s Stations in Cleveland were the subject of a scandal between them and the KYW Stations in Philadelphia, NBC wanted the Stations in Philadelphia because of it being a much larger market than Cleveland, NBC had strong-armed Westinghouse (Group W) in the deal that would result in the KYW call letters being used for what became for the time being, Westinghouse’s Stations in Cleveland, while NBC had gained the Stations in Philadelphia, changing the call letters of the Stations in Philadelphia to WRCV-AM-TV (to stand for RCA and NBC’s Victor Records Division) in the process, before the FCC and the Securities & Exchange Commission had both investigated this deal between NBC and Westinghouse, and they had discovered that NBC had both blackmailed and strong-armed Westinghouse into the deal, with NBC threatening to pull their Television affiliations to Westinghouse’s WBZ-TV in Boston, KYW-TV in Philadelphia, and KPIX-TV in San Francisco if Westinghouse did not agree to the deal. Eventually, in 1965; justice had been served on NBC’s part, nine years after the trade had taken place in 1956; where the Cleveland Stations were returned to NBC, and the Philadelphia Stations were returned to Westinghouse. NBC, in the process; had changed the call letters of the Cleveland Stations to WKYC-AM-FM-TV, and the KYW call letters were returned to the Stations in Philadelphia. In 1972, NBC had sold WKYC-AM-FM; while holding onto WKYC-TV until 1990. WKYC-AM was originally WTAM-AM, NBC had originally purchased this AM Station in 1930, and had put WTAM-FM and WNBK-TV both on the air in 1948. WTAM-FM would eventually become KYW-FM and WKYC-FM, and WNBK-TV would eventually become KYW-TV and WKYC-TV.
As Paul Teutul Sr. and his sons need to comprehend how much more important School Buses are than Motorcycles, they need to ponder over School Bus Coachbuilders Superior going out of business in 1980, Wayne in 1995, Carpenter in 2000; School Bus Coachbuilder being rescued from bankruptcy by then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton from 1980 and being renamed AmTran in the process, School Bus Coachbuilder Thomas being sold by the descendants of Founder Pearley A. Thomas to a Capital Investment Group in 1989, School Bus Coachbuilder Blue Bird being sold by the founding Luce (pronounced ‘loose’) family in 1989, and changing hands several times until the early 2010’s; and Blue Bird entering the RV Industry in 1963 with the introduction of the Wanderlodge Motorhome, derived from the All American Transit-style School Bus; and have remained in the RV Industry until the late 2000’s.
Paul Teutul Sr. and his sons should also put themselves in the shoes of people like myself, who are passionate about School Buses; and visit the website of this person who has cataloged the history of the Fleet of School Buses that were ever owned and operated by his Public School District in West Virginia: https://www.andrewturnbull.net/bus/, and these Electronic Photo Galleries consisting of Photos of School Buses: https://flic.kr/ps/31GXZG, https://flic.kr/g/kCCZW, https://flic.kr/g/sWTVG.

This Thomas Conventional on the Ford B-Series Chassis & Cowl is equipped with the Eight-Light System
For the same reason that Andrew Turnbull, who is originally from Athens, West Virginia and currently resides in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, had compiled information and photographs of the Fleet of School Buses that were ever owned and operated by his School District in Mercer County, West Virginia, including the individuals who have ever held the position of the Director of Transportation of the School District serving Mercer County, West Virginia, for his website about the Fleet of School Buses that were ever owned and operated by the School District serving Mercer County, West Virginia: https://www.andrewturnbull.net/bus/, I have written a Book under my Pen Name “Wilbur Hay” that is in loving memory of one of my friends, the late John Gregory Roeck, Director Emeritus of Warren Consolidated Schools (a Public School District serving the Detroit suburbs of Warren, Sterling Heights, and Troy, Michigan. You may purchase a copy of this Book from Barnes & Noble:
I have also gathered historical photographs of School Buses that were ever in the Fleet and owned and operated by Warren Consolidated Schools. I have published a book containing these photographs under my Pen Name “Wilbur Hay”. You may also purchase a copy of this Book from Barnes & Noble:
Maryland Public Television (MPT) Employee, one-time consultant for a firm on Wall Street in New York City, Producer of the Television Program “Wall Street Week” with Louis Rukeyser, and Creator and Host of the Television Program “Motorweek” since it’s inception in 1981-John Henry David having been born in 1949, NASCAR Team Owner Rick Hendrick having been born in 1949, fellow NASCAR Team Owner Richard Childress having been born in 1945, Dolly Parton having been born in 1946, Dolly’s sister Stella having also been born in 1949, and Children’s Author Marc Brown also having been born in 1946; are also more important than Paul Teutul Sr. having been born in 1949, but also one of the relatives that I never, ever, ever meant to have anything to do with also being born in 1949: https://www.lynchandsonsclawson.com/obituaries/Daniel-J-Sienkiewicz?obId=37920830.
Also, as is the case with all of the relatives that I’ve never, ever meant to have anything to do with; not only have the Teutul family should have always been barred from hosting dress-up family gatherings; but the Teutul family should have also been barred from having socially normal family gatherings with close, extended family; period. See earlier post: Nightmare That I Had Recently Regarding My Mother’s Entire Family Being In My Presence.

Why has the Teutul family wanted to create lives for themselves in Hell, have always wanted to work careers in industries that put themselves in Hell, and have always wanted to give birth to odd amounts of children?
As not only Children’s Book Author Marc Brown, the creator of the character Arthur and Author of the Arthur franchise of Children’s Books, but also his wife Laurene “Laurie” Krasny-Brown are more important than the Teutul family, and all of the relatives that I have never, ever meant to have anything to do with-my mother’s entire family; but my father’s entire family are also more important than the Teutul family, and my mother’s entire family; my cousin and cousin-in-law, one of the founders and a couple of the many Authors of the Choose Your Own Adventure series of Children’s Books; Ray “R.A” Montgomery and his second wife Shannon Gilligan are especially more important than the Teutul family, and my mother’s entire family.
The namesake of the Village and the Town that are both named Montgomery, Orange County, New York (where many of the Teutul family’s businesses have been based); Major Richard Montgomery, who at first, had served in the British Army, and later switched his allegiance to the Continental Army during the Colonial period of the United States of America; is a distant relative to my cousin-in-law Ray “R.A” Montgomery. Major Richard Montgomery is also the namesake of Montgomery County, New York; located in the Troy-Schenectady-Albany area in New York State.
If you’re interested in reading a transcription that goes into great detail about how much more important my father’s family is to me than my mother’s family, and how I’ve always felt spiritually closer to my father’s family than to my mother’s family, feel free to purchase a Copy from Barnes & Noble about a Book that I wrote using both my actual name as the Author, and under my Pen Name/Alter Ego “Wilbur Hay” that is inspired by the late Japanese Book Author Kimifusa Abe (whose Pen Name is Kōbō Abe), who believed that normal, daily life is just a façade; while fantasy is the genuine reality. Kobo Abe was born in 1924, had spent his childhood and adolescent years in Japanese-occupied Manchuria; and had passed away in January, 1993 at the age of 68:

This is A Portion Of The Plot About The Book That I Wrote Under My Pen Name “Wilbur Hay” About How I Wish Things Were In The Past, And Are In The Present; Is About.
Chris, Bernice, Carletta, her daughter; and Darlene are all indifferent about cars not being important to the relatives that we don’t like and don’t associate with-my mother’s family, the lousy decisions they make when it comes to purchasing a vehicle; and how poorly they normally take care of a vehicle.
Carletta’s daughter herself is the wrong type of person to own a Jeep, a Land Rover; or a Toyota Land Cruiser as much as my mother’s family is; and not only does Carletta’s daughter make the same absurd decisions as my mother’s eldest brother’s niece when it comes to buying vehicles-such as Carletta’s daughter having purchased her Xterra and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece having purchased her Mitsubishi, but Carletta’s daughter is also as indolent to find a job as the children of my mother’s brothers and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece & nephew all are.
One example of Carletta’s daughter having worked at the same position at the Trader publishing company for many years before her mother was able to get her into working for the same school district in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia that her mother works for. And the children of my mother’s brothers and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece & nephew working for the business that their father/uncle and several of my mother’s eldest brother’s in-laws have all founded (the same business where Darlene volunteers at when she’s in the Detroit area visiting with Chris & Jim, and also volunteers to work on those medical test strips of some sort). Carletta’s daughter is also just as hip and modern as children of my mother’s brothers and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece & nephew.
My mother’s youngest brother, as cars are not important to him; drives Honda products sold through their luxury Acura division, and it’s in these Honda products that he shows up in during these gatherings with his family, Jim’s family; and my mother’s eldest brother’s in-laws. The Honda products are right up his alley because they’re just as scoffed of a machine as he is of a human being. While unrelatedly, my parents and I are enjoying ourselves in our diesel Suburban, and my paternal grandmother is enjoying herself in our diesel Suburban as well.
Besides the fact that my mother’s eldest brother, his wife, children, his sister-in-law; and his niece & nephew should have always been barred from ever owning a Jeep, Land Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser and the Lexus version; they should have also been barred from ever owning a Suburban, a Full-Size van, and cars such as vehicles built on the GM B-platform, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis; and a Lincoln Town Car.
Besides Shannon, Ray, and Jan & Diane Pol being better and more appropriate people to own a Jeep, Land Rover, or a Toyota Land Cruiser; my parents and I have always been better and more appropriate people to own a Suburban, a Full-Size van, and cars such as vehicles built on the GM B-platform, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis; and a Lincoln Town Car.
It has always been a bugbear over my mother’s eldest brother, his wife, children, his sister-in-law; and his niece & nephew neglecting their vehicles, my mother’s eldest brother’s wife backing the vehicle into a tree, and depressing especially regarding a Jeep, Land Rover, a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Suburban, a Full-Size van, and cars such as vehicles built on the GM B-platform, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis; and a Lincoln Town Car.
The K-Cars and the related Chrysler minivan are the perfect vehicles for how much of a knucklehead my mother’s eldest brother, his wife, children, his sister-in-law; and his niece & nephew all are. My mother’s eldest brother’s in-laws also have a fondness for Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles.
It would be queer when Chris, Bernice, Carletta and her daughter; and Darlene all go to my mother’s aunt & uncle’s house in her GM Full-Size van. Not only are my mother’s aunt & uncle also not our cup of tea, they also live in an eccentric location in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. As expected, Chris, Bernice, Carletta and her daughter; and Darlene would all be going there to be social with my mother’s family. The only thing that I could even remotely care about regarding this situation is how the automatic transmission performs under the operating conditions such as engine speed, engine temperature; and driving habits while Chris would drive those people to my mother’s aunt & uncle’s house.
It would also be ghastly to discover in any way, shape, or form my mother’s eldest brother, his family; and his mother-in-law, sister-in-law; and niece & nephew all going in a Full-Size van owned by him to my mother’s aunt & uncle’s house. Not only would it be kooky with regards to how he, his wife, and his sister-in-law have always neglected their vehicles; but also seeing this van with all of these people (including a lot of kids) driving to the rural area north of Mt. Clemens, Michigan. The only positive thing that could happen on would be testing (or, as another way to put it-test operating) a new School Bus in Mt. Clemens, Michigan and the rural area just north of there, and going ‘eh’ over all of these people in this van with a bunch of kids in there, and this van using this turn signal to turn into a house located on the main road in the rural area north of Mt. Clemens, Michigan.
Then there’s my mother’s younger brother and his son also arriving at this social event at my mother’s aunt & uncle’s house his idiomatic vehicle. Above all, my parents, I; and my paternal grandmother would be enjoying ourselves in our home in Oakland Township, Michigan; maybe also with Joe, Martha, or maybe with Marie “Mimi” or Mary Ann while this social event at my mother’s aunt & uncle’s house would be going on.
My mother’s aunt & uncle and their offspring-my mother’s cousins, having always purchased Ford products because of them getting a discount from Ford, and because cars were never important to them; they’ve always thought like “Ford builds the Thunderbird to compete with the Monte Carlo”, Ford’s Class 6-8 truck division that included the B-Series chassis & cowl, the C-Series, and the L-Series(which, in reality, they’ve spun off to Daimler and Freightliner to become Sterling in the mid 1990’s) and my mother’s female cousin having bought her Tempo while being uncaring about Ford having developed the Tempo/Topaz specifically for the North American market rather than selling the Ford Sierra in the North American market as mainstream Ford and Mercury models and not as the niche Merkur XR4TI model.
My mother’s female cousin would, at one time; transport Chris, Bernice, Carletta and her daughter; and Darlene in her Tempo, and my mother’s female cousin would say to these people that she bought her car only because her father is retired from Ford. Chris, Bernice, Carletta and her daughter; and Darlene would all be indifferent about how crappy of a car the Tempo/Topaz is overall, and how crappy of an engine the Ford HSC engine (the Ford Thriftpower inline-6 with 2 cylinders removed to create a 4-cylinder) in the Tempo/Topaz is. Darlene would also be talking with my mother’s female cousin about (shall I say lousy, to us) decisions about their vehicle purchases and how cars are not important to either one of them. Bernice would talk about herself being equally as religious as my mother’s female cousin, her parents, her brother, and her sister-in-law; them all attending church on a daily basis, and Bernice having sponsored Gerry Wentzel while he was being fostered at Boy’s Town being similar to my mother’s female cousin-a social worker by profession; having adopted and taken in some little girl and raising that female pupil herself.
All of this going on between Chris, Bernice, Carletta and her daughter, Darlene; and my mother’s female cousin would be a byproduct of how much of a social butterfly (or socialite, as another way to put it) Chris is. And all of that would be going on while yet again, my parents, I, and my paternal grandmother are enjoying ourselves in house in Oakland Township, Michigan and in our diesel Suburban.
I Have Absolutely No Tolerance, Whatsoever; For People Born In The Year 1975 And Beyond Attending Public Musical Concerts. I Also Don’t Have Any Tolerance, Whatsoever; For People Tailgating At Musical Concerts In Motorhomes/Motorized Caravans. Then Again, I Don’t Have Any Tolerance For Modern Society, And Modern Music That Has Been Produced Since The Late 1990’s.
Case in point: this Television Commercial for an Alcoholic Beverage, with young, radical people tailgating at some trivial Musical Concert in a Motorhome/Motorized Caravan.
I would love to round up all of these young, radical patrons attending and tailgating at this Musical Concert; as well as these young, radical musicians themselves, impart into them the wisdom of people born prior to the year 1975; and force them to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music.
I especially don’t have any tolerance for the relatives that I’ve never meant to have anything to do with, modern NASCAR Drivers Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and his son Ross, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, Johnny Sauter, brothers Austin and Ty Dillon, Corey LaJoie, modern Indy Car Drivers James Hinchcliffe, Robert Wickens, Josef Newgarden, and Conor Daly; modern Formula 1 Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button, Television Personalities Mark Bowe, Mike Holmes Jr., and the Television Personalities on the Cable Channel HGTV known as “The Property Brothers”; and Television Personality and Drag Racer Bruno Massel each attending Musical Concerts.
The concept of commensality ranks among my foremost irritations.
The concept of commensality is among the various aspects I find unappealing about my mother’s whole family.
The notion of commensality stands out as one of the numerous aspects I find unappealing regarding some of the Educators and Staff associated with Warren Consolidated Schools, including Carolyn Armbruster, Carolyn Ann Tuzzo, Julie Stanaway, Celia Socha, Mary Ellen Green, Julie Dean, Terri Dworkin, Patricia Venaleck, Steve Gerling and his spouse Carole, Ann Kolinski, Gilka Calazans-Paxton, and Darlene Zimmerman; as well as certain School Bus Drivers such as Candace Imburnone-Barr, Deborah Giganic, Shiela “Shelly” Marie Trendel-Griswold, Pamela Mott, Penny Orban, Kim “Froggie” Proch, Josie Sabelsky, Anita Jacob, Anne Waldowski, Sandra Rivera-Blaskay, Laura Krause, April Ghanam, and Kelly Ponzio; in addition to Guidance Counselor Julie Stegman.
The notion of commensality is among the various aspects I find unappealing in modern NASCAR Drivers such as Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, Regan Smith, Gary Klutt, and Matt Kenseth, along with Matt Kenseth’s nine daughters and his son Ross. This sentiment extends to contemporary Formula 1 Drivers like Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button, as well as NFL players including Tom Brady and the five Gronkowski brothers, brothers Bruce and Gino Gradkowski, and NHL players Shane Doan and his son Josh, Derek Morris, Jason LaBarbera, Martin LaPointe and his three sons, and Rod Brind’Amour with his two sons. Steve Pearce, a Major League Baseball player; Bruno Massel, a Drag Racer and Television Personality; the Television Personalities known as “The Property Brothers”; Mark Bowe, a television personality; and Mike Holmes Jr., a Television Personality. Additionally, Matt Frazier, a Basketball Player, Baseball Player, Athletic Trainer, Personal Trainer, and former Homicide Detective with the Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department, who was featured on the reality television program “The First 48”; Ronnie Leatherman, a Basketball Player and another Homicide Detective with the Tulsa Police Department; and Chase Calhoun, an Athlete and a Homicide Detective turned Uniformed Patrol Officer, also with the Tulsa Police Department.
Besides the fact that Sports and Fitness have always needed to be ruined for Matt Kenseth and Matt Frazier, and getting together, socializing amongst each other, entertaining each other, cooking for each other, and their penchant for Sports have always needed to be ruined for each and every one of the relatives that I have never meant to have anything to do with; Roone Arledge being the President of both ABC’s News and Sports Department as of this time, and WXYZ-TV, WXYZ-AM, and WRIF-FM (nee WXYZ-FM) still being owned and operated by ABC as of this time are much more important than Matt Kenseth and Matt Frazier’s penchant for Sports, the penchant for Sports that each and every one of the relatives that I have never meant to have anything to do with, each and every one of the relatives that I have never meant to have anything to do with getting together, socializing amongst each other, entertaining each other, cooking for each other; Matt Kenseth and Matt Frazier also getting together with their closest relatives, befriending relatives who are close to, or exactly the same age as they are; and their close relatives socializing amongst each other, entertaining each other, cooking for each other; and Matt Kenseth and Matt Frazier also fraternizing with other Athletes.
Recently, I had a nightmare in my sleep regarding my mother’s entire family being in my presence; including both of my mother’s parents.
In this nightmare, I found myself calling the Police to evict my mother’s entire family away from my presence, and to send the message for them to stay the heck away from me for eternity. In part and parcel, I file restraining orders against them all.
Also, I found myself screaming at my mother’s entire family: “Leave this place, you filthy relatives; I despise all of you. Kindly depart from this place, refrain from returning, and henceforth maintain a perpetual distance from me”.
Truly, in this nightmare; I am being coerced to participate in social events with my mother’s relatives, such as the social events depicted in the photo below, where exemplary families are gathered at Restaurants:
Also, in this nightmare; I am being coerced to participate in social events with my mother’s relatives held in their own homes and condominiums, such as the one that my parents literally attended and took part in during Christmas time in circa 1985-1986; and is depicted in the photographs below:
If you’ve been following this Blog for a while, you know that I don’t have any tolerance, whatsoever; for cooking, eating at home, sitting at the table together as a family, associating with close, extended family; family gatherings with close, extended family; and nuclear families living on typical, small lots within typical subdivisions.
Case in point: never wanting to have my mother’s entire family in our family, wanting to hurt emotionally my mother’s entire family over me not ever wanting them in my presence and my absolute refusal to accept them in my life and as part of the family; having wanted to make my parents feel bad over their love, tolerance, and allowance of and for my mother’s entire family in their presence, having also wanted to not only make my parents feel bad over them possessing vehicles that I despise of just as much as I despise my mother’s entire family: any Minivan, including the Oldsmobile Silhouette that my parents had once owned, and the two Buick Rendezvous that my parents had once owned; but having wanted to make my parents feel equally as bad over them lovingly transporting my mother’s parents (the grandparents of mine that I infinitely, and unequivocally despise with a vengeance) in the Minivans, and the two Buick Rendezvous that I highly loathe also with a vengeance, and my parents also cruising and driving around Harsen’s Island, Michigan and Armada, Michigan; driving to, and cruising around once we’re in these areas of Tawas City, East Tawas, Oscoda, and West Branch, Michigan; embarking on a long, arduous, uncomfortable, and miserable drive from Michigan to Florida; my parents taking a great amount of pride in these grandparents that I highly despise of residing in the same, exact neighborhood that I also despise of just as much as I despise my mother’s entire family, the Minivans that my parents have owned, and the two Buick Rendezvous that my parents have owned; wanting to hurt my mother’s parents, my mother’s eldest brother, and his wife emotionally over their cooking and hospitality; wanting to hurt my sister emotionally over her being involved in School Band and Music, likewise wanting to hurt emotionally children, adolescents, and young adults being involved in Sports, and pursing playing Sports collegiately and professionally; my parents schlepping my sister around in the Minivans and Buick Rendezvous that I despise of to Band and Music events; parents of children being involved in Sports schlepping them around to the Sporting Events that they participate in; Minivans and Front-Wheel-Drive Unibody Passenger Cars and Crossover Utility Vehicles being social norms of the late 1990’s and beyond, and Sports and Fitness being a social norm just as much as cooking, eating at home, sitting at the table together as a nuclear or extended family unit or group, most people not being interested in Automobiles and related machinery, and most people viewing an Automobile as nothing more than an Appliance not unlike a Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Clothes Washer, and a Clothes Dryer.
Similarly, I have a desire to affect the lives of Warren Consolidated Schools teacher Carolyn Armbruster, her spouse Joseph, and their three offspring by disrupting extended periods of travel by Car that are not unlike cruising and driving around Harsen’s Island, Michigan and Armada, Michigan; driving to, and cruising around once we’re in these areas of Tawas City, East Tawas, Oscoda, and West Branch, Michigan; embarking on a long, arduous, uncomfortable, and miserable drive from Michigan to Florida; the process of cooking, the act of dining at home, the shared experience of sitting together at the table as a familial unit; not unlike my intolerance over my parents desire at one time to make our nuclear family as socially normal as possible, my parents trying to push and prod me into eating at home, tolerate being around food, tolerate sitting at the table together as a family, and eat a normal diet; as well as the various family gatherings involving both Carolyn and her husband Joseph’s families that are not unlike the family gatherings involving my mother’s entire family. Moreover, I would like to impede Carolyn’s own Childrens’ participation in Band and Music; likewise to how I would have liked to hurt my sister emotionally over her participation in Band and Music.
Additionally, Carolyn Armbruster and her husband Joseph both had an authoritarian and dictatorial parenting style; and they very rarely ever allowed their own children to have a say in the matter, for as long as they lived in their house.
Carolyn Armbruster and her husband were never deserving to own a Full-Size Station Wagon, drive it into the ground, and junk it once they have finished driving it into the ground; replaced this Full-Size Station Wagon with a Suburban, drove it into the ground, dragged their children on long car rides in it, whether their children liked it or not; had also put a Snow Plow on their Suburban, and forced each of their three children to take their Suburban as their first vehicle upon receiving their Driver’s Licenses; or else they wouldn’t be able to drive until they moved out of the house, went off to College, and/or bought a place of their own. Carolyn and Joseph Armbruster wouldn’t even allow their children to purchase their own vehicle with any money they’ve earned for as long as they continued to live in their house. Without a shadow of a doubt were Carolyn and Joseph Armbruster never deserving to own a Suburban.
Carolyn Armbruster, both of my mother’s brothers, my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law, and my mother’s cousin John were never deserving to own any Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Expeditions, Navigators, Jeeps, and Land Rovers.
The picture below depicts pictorially the fact that my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law, and my mother’s cousin John were never deserving to own any Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Expeditions, Navigators, Jeeps, and Land Rovers:
EPSON MFP image
Only people who buy Full-Size Station Wagons, Suburbans, Tahoes, and Escalades with the intent of using them the way my parents and I had used them, and have emotional attachments towards vehicles like these; people who have respect for the histories of Jeep and Land Rover, and people who buy Jeeps and Land Rovers with Power Take-Off (PTO) Units; and use them for Property Maintenance, Agricultural, Commercial, and Industrial uses; are deserving to own Full-Size Station Wagons, Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Jeeps, and Land Rovers.
Don Chisholm, a Ham Radio Operator whose Call Sign is K8BB; who also happened to be my sister’s Assistant Band Director while in High School; is much more important than my sister being involved in Band and Music, Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Carolyn Armbruster’s own children being involved in Band and Music; and Carolyn Armbruster’s son David Armbruster ultimately becoming a School Band Director, himself as his dayjob.
Below is a link with Don Chisholm’s Amateur/Ham Radio credentials, and details about his Ham Radio equipment from a public Amateur/Ham Radio Operator Directory, QRZ: https://www.qrz.com/db/K8BB
Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers Carolyn Armbruster, Carolyn Ann Tuzzo, Julie Stanaway, Celia Socha, Mary Ellen Green, Julie Dean, Terri Dworkin, Patricia Venaleck, Steve Gerling and his wife Carole, Ann Kolinski, Gilka Calazans-Paxton, and Darlene Zimmerman all derive great pleasure from participating in household tasks, such as cooking and sharing meals together. In addition, they place great importance on frugality, making a conscious effort to retain their existing automobiles for as long as they can. They appear to have an internal focus, which causes them to become self-absorbed and less interested in the world outside of their immediate environment. They merit contempt due to their personalities, just as Carolyn Armbruster merits contempt for the same reason.
Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Steve Gerling purchased one of the very first Minivans that The Evil Iacocca had put into production while in the position as the CEO of the Chrysler Corporation in late 1983, and one of the very first extended length Minivans that The Evil Iacocca had put into production in late 1986. Steve Gerling needs to be scrutinized over the Minivans that he had owned, just as much as my parents had needed to be scrutinized over the Minivans, and two Buick Rendezvous that they have owned.
Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Steve Gerling was never deserving to own the Dodge B-Vans that he had personally converted into Conversion Vans, all of the Dodge D-Series and Ram Pickup Trucks that he had owned, the XJ Jeep Cherokee that he had once owned, and the YJ Jeep Wrangler that he had once owned. See the above paragraphs with regards to who are the right type of people to own a Full Size, a Jeep, and a Land Rover.
Moreover, as is the case with Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Carolyn Armbruster and her husband Joseph; fellow Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers and husband and wife Steve and Carole Gerling also merit contempt for them too, having had an authoritarian and dictatorial parenting style; and them, too very rarely ever allowing their own children to have a say in the matter, for as long as they lived in their house.
Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Terri Dworkin needs to be scrutinized over all of the Minivans that she has owned, for the same reasons that my parents had needed to be scrutinized over the Minivans, and two Buick Rendezvous that they have owned.
Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers Celia Socha and Darlene Zimmerman both propose of a “contract” that stipulates certain behavioral expectations. These expectations include conforming to societal norms, adhering to the cultural standards associated with Disney and NASCAR, refraining from visiting Radio and Television Stations, avoiding contact, acquaintances, and friendships with significantly older individuals, abstaining from emotional-driven interactions, and refraining from seeking connections with accomplished individuals whose legacies that I, the owner of this very Blog; aspire to continue through my own literary works. Failure to comply with these terms would have resulted in in Celia Socha contacting Social Services. Celia Socha asserts her belief that she can effectively underscore and communicate to the me, the owner of this very Blog the notion that I am merely an average individual, devoid of any exceptional qualities, and hence should not be entitled to any form of preferential treatment.
More individuals who have this type of personality, and exhibit this time of behavior are some of the School Bus Drivers of Warren Consolidated Schools, namely Candace Imburnone-Barr, Deborah Giganic, Shiela “Shelly” Marie Trendel-Griswold, Pamela Mott, Penny Orban, Kim “Froggie” Proch, Josie Sabelsky, Anita Jacob, Anne Waldowski, and Kelly Ponzio each view their jobs as School Bus Driver as nothing more than a job that they work to help make ends meet, the School Buses, themselves as nothing more than a machine and a piece of steel; they do not understand how infatuated I, the owner of this very Blog am over School Buses; and these School Bus Drivers express a lack of preference towards the current Hot Adult Contemporary Format of WPLJ-FM. Similarly, they do not hold any particular interest in the Progressive Rock and Album Rock formats that were previously adopted by WPLJ-FM and its predecessor WABC-FM between 1970 and 1983. It is worth noting that these formats were also implemented across other FM Stations owned and operated by ABC. It is important to acknowledge that Allen Shaw played a significant role in introducing the automated “Love” format, subsequently transitioning to live Progressive and Album Rock formats, and ultimately changing the call letters of WABC-FM to WPLJ in 1971. Similarly, the individuals named Candace Imburnone-Barr, Deborah Giganic, Shiela “Shelly” Marie Trendel-Griswold, Pamela Mott, Penny Orban, Kim “Froggie” Proch, Anita Jacob, Anne Waldowski, Kelly Ponzio, and Lisa Smith each exhibit a lack of concern regarding the initial transition of WHYT-FM/WPLT-FM/WDVD-FM in Detroit from its previous identity as WJR-FM; and the initial transition of CIDR-FM in Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada from its previous identity as CKLW-FM. They also demonstrate indifference towards the ongoing co-ownership and co-operation between WDVD-FM and WJR-AM, and CIDR-FM and CKLW-AM. Furthermore, they acknowledge Allen Shaw’s role in implementing the automated “Love” format on WXYZ-FM, subsequently followed by the introduction of live Progressive and Album Rock formats; and the change in call letters from WXYZ-FM to WRIF in 1971.
Moreover, if you’ve been following this Blog for a while; you also know that I don’t have any tolerance, whatsoever; for families living within close, cramped quarters in small houses. We’re talking houses that are 1,600 square feet and below.
And, in this nightmare; my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law, a heavy-duty alcoholic and frequent bar hopper; her two children, all of the children of my mother’s brothers, and each together patronize this Sports Bar in the Detroit suburb of Sterling Heights, Michigan; socialize amongst each other, and drink the night away while doing so:
Due to my mother’s brothers’, their children, and my mother’s eldest brother’s nephew’s fondness for BMWs, and also due to my mother’s parents, my mother’s eldest brother, and my mother’s eldest brother’s in-laws’ loyalty to the Pontiac and Oldsmobile Divisions of General Motors, my mother’s eldest brother’s eldest son transports his first cousin, modern NASCAR Driver Elliott Sadler, and modern Formula 1 Driver Nick Heidfeld all in a BMW E31, and a BMW E36 4-Door Sedan converted into a Landaulet by Karosserie Baur, a Coachbuilder in Stuttgart, Germany; that my mother’s eldest brother has purchased on behalf of his eldest son with no strings attached. At other times, my mother’s eldest brother’s nephew transports my mother’s eldest brother’s eldest son; Elliott Sadler, and Nick Heidfeld all in GM N-Platform (see this earlier post: Evidence That General Motors’ J, N, And L-Platforms Are Some Of The Company’s Worst Platforms) Oldsmobile Calais, Acheiva, and Alero 2-Door Coupe and 4-Door Sedan Passenger Cars that this nephew in question owns. Elliott Sadler and Nick Heidfeld kiss each other, and make love with each other while being transported in the BMWs that my mother’s eldest brother has purchased on behalf of his eldest son, and in the Oldsmobile-branded GM N-Platform vehicles that my mother’s eldest brother’s owns outright.
True, I would like to undermine the affinity for novelty, Athletic pursuits, physical well-being, exclusive social engagements, intimate familial assemblies, engaging in athletic activities and spectating Sporting Events on Television among friends and immediate relatives, with no concern about the broadcasting aspect of Sports; and personal flexibility, adaptability, and tolerance levels of modern NASCAR drivers including Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, Regan Smith, and Matt Kenseth, along with Matt Kenseth’s nine daughters and his son Ross, contemporary Formula 1 Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button, NFL Players Tom Brady, each of the five Gronkowski brothers, brothers Bruce and Gino Gradkowski, NHL Players Shane Doan and his son Josh, Derek Morris, Jason LaBarbera, Martin LaPointe and each of his three sons, Rod Brind’Amour and his two sons, MLB Player Steve Pearce, Drag Racer and Television Personality Bruno Massel, Television Personalities known as “The Property Brothers”, Television Personality Mark Bowe, and Television Personality Mike Holmes Jr.; Basketball Player, Baseball Player, Athletic Trainer, Personal Trailer, And Former Homicide Detective With The Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department Who Was Featured On The Reality Television Program “The First 48” Matt Frazier, Ronnie Leatherman, a Basketball Player and another Homicide Detective with the Tulsa Police Department; and Chase Calhoun, an Athlete and a Homicide Detective turned Uniformed Patrol Officer also with the Tulsa Police Department.
Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, Regan Smith, and Matt Kenseth’s entries into NASCAR; and the change that they brought forth from day one of their entries into NASCAR, happened during the time that my parents owned their Oldsmobile Silhouette, and both of their Buick Rendezvous. I could not handle these modern Drivers’ entries into NASCAR, the change they bought forth to NASCAR, and them being contemporaries of all of the children of my mother’s brothers, and my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law; just as much as I couldn’t handle my parents owning their Minivans and Buick Rendezvous, my father thinking at this point in time that Full-Size Station Wagons, Full-Size Vans, Suburbans, Tahoes, and European vehicles such as Volkswagens, Audis, Mercedes-Benzs, Renaults, Peugeots, and Citroens are nothing more than Appliances and pieces of steel (case in point: my parents, at one time; had contemplated purchasing a Mercedes-Benz CL203 3-Door Liftback, but in spite of this being Mercedes-Benz’s lowest cost model in the North American market at the time; my parents had ultimately decided that this Car was not worth the money, that living a mediocre lifestyle, possessing mediocre items, and attempting to raise a family in the most socially normal way was more important than purchasing a Car like the Mercedes-Benz CL203. In earlier times, my parents would have more likely jumped on purchasing a Car like the Mercedes-Benz CL203) my parents choosing to be closer to my mother’s family than my father’s, each and every one of the gatherings with my mother’s family, my parents transporting my mother’s parents, my parents also cruising and driving around Harsen’s Island, Michigan and Armada, Michigan; driving to, and cruising around once we’re in these areas of Tawas City, East Tawas, Oscoda, and West Branch, Michigan; embarking on the long, arduous, uncomfortable, and miserable drive from Michigan to Florida; my parents being content with staying in the small house with close, cramped quarters on the typical, small lot within a typical subdivision; very close in proximity to my mother’s parents since September, 1990; my parents desire at one time to make our nuclear family as socially normal as possible, my parents trying to push and prod me into eating at home, tolerate being around food, tolerate sitting at the table together as a family, and eat a normal diet; my sister’s involvement with Band and Music, my mother’s entire family listening to Dick Purtan and his posse on WCZY-FM/WKQI-FM, my father expecting me to tolerate listening to the Radio in a vehicle as part of a family group (the Minivans, and the two Buick Rendezvous; nonetheless), and my father having the AM/FM Radio in the paltry and dowdy Minivans and Buick Rendezvous tuned to CIMX-FM (nee CKWW-FM), WDRQ-FM (nee WJBK-FM), CIDR-FM (nee CKLW-FM), WPLT-FM/WDVD-FM (nee WJR-FM), and WRIF-FM (nee WXYZ-FM); and my parents, along with my mother’s entire family each watching WDIV-TV’s newscasts, WJBK-TV’s newscasts as a FOX affiliate, and WKBD-TV’s newscasts.
See this earlier post regarding my aversion towards WDIV-TV’s newscasts, WJBK-TV’s newscasts as a FOX affiliate, WKBD-TV’s newscasts, and the current WWJ-TV’s (nee WGPR-TV) newscasts: Personal Qualms That I Have Over WDIV-TV (nee WWJ-TV).
It shall be known that as the Mercedes-Benz CL203 was Mercedes-Benz’s lowest-priced model in the North American market at the time, it was more like a Volkswagen Golf GTI that was Rear-Wheel-Drive than a Mercedes in the normal sense for those who know Daimler-Benz AG for their luxury Passenger Cars, Crossover Utility Vehicles, and luxury variants of the Gelandewagen/G-Class; and not for their lower cost Passenger Cars, their Commercial Vehicles, the Unimog, and the Utility and Military versions of the Gelandewagen. The CL203 came standard with Cloth Seating Surfaces, and Manual Dual-Zone Climate Control; and could be had with Leather Seating Surfaces, a 6-Disc CD Changer, and many of the other luxuries that one might normally expect in a Mercedes-Benz as individual Options, or as part of Packages. The CL203 is related to another variant of the W203, the R170 SLK Roadster. Both share the W203 2-Door floorpan, and the Supercharged variants of the M111 and M271 Engines. The CL203, however; could also be had with the Turbocharged version of the M271 Engine. The W203, CL203, and R170 were some of the first-generation Daimler-Benz products not to be overengineered, overbuilt, and in layman’s terms: designed and built to Taxicab standards. The R170 went into production shortly before, and was produced during the time when Daimler-Benz AG had merged with the Chrysler Corporation to form DaimlerChrysler AG. The W203 and CL203 had gone into production a couple years after Daimler-Benz AG had merged with the Chrysler Corporation to form DaimlerChrysler AG. Daimler-Benz had garroted Chrysler right back to the point where Chrysler had filed for bankruptcy in September, 1979; the United States Government had granted loans for Chrysler in January, 1980. Daimler-Benz would divest itself of Chrysler in 2007, Chrysler would go on to be sold to the Cerberus Capital Group, than to Fiat S.P.A, and finally; the merged Chrysler-Fiat would merge with Peugeot and Citroen in 2021, forming the company that is known in the present day as Stellantis.
God has likely arranged for a special place for all of the children from my mother’s entire family, modern NASCAR Drivers Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, and Matt Kenseth and his son Ross; and modern Formula One Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button to all wind up in together after their eventual deaths. That special place is called Hell.
