Real Minors have semaphore turn signals. My parents claimed to have had a VW with those. I don't know, it was before I was born. The earliest car I remember is a blue 1963 Corvair. When it broke an axle, they traded it for a 1971 Vega, even though it overheated on the test drive.

The electric pump on a Morris 1300 needed a good kick every now and again to get the tick, tick, tick of the pump working. This was due to the mounting point, on the rear sub-frame exposing the pump to all the dirt, muck and water from the road ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

I talked with a colleague today and we were talking about age. She thought I was 28!!! And I often find a 5% or 10% discount on restaurant bills, without having asked for one. So it's either the "US Navy Retired" pin I wear on my shirt collar, or they see all the grey hair and assume I'm over 65 (not quite yet). But I won't make a fuss, a discount is a discount. And I'll probably eat there again.... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Julie is definitely younger than 21, and people reckon I look good for 92 .... Knowing the ages of her daughters, I'd have said 25 (8{) Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Yes, but .... <pause> ... stops before the hole gets too large. The problem is that cognitive abilities slow after the 90th birthday .... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Julie is a friend, right now in My life that's good enough, at least for that. I can't even catch a break yet, but that's on a different subject entirely. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I had my hair cut 2 days ago. That is all one and a half inches of my 1 hair, and the charge was half a dollar ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

I remember that good old cash, and even the hair I had cut. That was when we had real money, not this silly decimalised inflationary stuff we use ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Runs me about $14.00 for a hair and beard trim. I still have plenty of hair, but let's just say there's a lot more snow on the mountain than there used to be. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
