Don't know how I missed that. I guess I'm really slipping. Now that you mention it, 1955 doesn't sound like a bad idea. Anyone have a spare flux capacitor?

Please. I'll pretend I didn't see that. No, a pre-owned Cadillac CT4. The small sedan. I was considering the Blackwing version, but a local police officer convinced me that I don't need 470 horsepower to get in trouble. 40 in a 25 MPH zone in a rental Hyundai that could barely get out of its own...

You had to mention that, didn't you. Being long retired, I was blissfully unaware of the date. I'm getting a new (to me) car today, and now I have to worry all day that Murphy's Law will manifest itself in some unfortunate manner. Thanks a bunch.

Yes, and there was also iodine, which was as bad as, or maybe worse than merthiolate.

Did a bit of that myself in the early '50s. Saturdays when school was in session, weekdays too when it wasn't. Fortunately, I didn't have to get up early. The driver had already started his route and would pick me up at 7. There was no passenger seat. I don't remember if there was a driver's...

Ted Williams. I share his love for Atlantic Salmon and the Miramichi River, and the Grumman Panther that he flew in Korea has always been one of my favorite airplanes.
