Hmmm...not much really, though, I did catch a glimpse of a mid-70s huge Olds convertible the other day.....

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed! I'm mostly familiar with the areas of Pittsburgh / Johnstown / Hollsopple PA ... as Dad grew up in that area. I love visiting that area ... and driving on those roads . And ... that '41 Packard is my favorite of those as well .

Hey Oldsmoboi, Hope you have a great time! Sorry I missed you this summer when I was in the Pittsburgh area twice (July and August)....

Glad to know your bro his home, Cory. If I may ask ... why does he have to take Lovenox? Or, did I miss something? I had to take it a while ago ... it isn't too difficult to inject yourself.....

Heh ... isn't it ironic that we vote in churches? My polling place is a church, too. Whatever happened to SEPARATION of church and state? Can't say I was overly joyed at having to WAIT to vote this time around..... Shouldn't we have "express lines" for those of us who vote in EVERY election, regardless of the candidates, the issues, the "importance"? That was the sentiment of a few of us as we waited in the lines this evening. Heck, I waited 3 times as long as I normally do to vote. That's great, of course, but why should those of us who vote in EVERY election wait for those who do not? Yes, I agree with the media's "historic" characterization of this election. But, aren't ALL elections historic? Listening to the reports over the last few days, you'd think that this was the ONLY election that has EVER mattered ... that this is the only election that should appear in history books. AND ...I'm still waiting for ANY political candidate to address the SINGLE population of the United States; all they talk about is helping "families" ... NOTHING whatsoever relevant to me. ...Since politicians are so big on "Minimum Wage" (the lowest hourly amount companies must pay employees), let's hear discussion about a MINIMUM VACATION (the days of vacation companies must at least allot to employees), too! ...Wouldn't it be nice if the politicians' power to raise campaign funds would translate into efforts to raise money for non-profit organizations and those in need?

uh oh

I think they are basically the same ... at least, from what I've seen anyway.... Not really 100% sure, though. As for sandwiches, ocnblu has a good start. Only problem is ... that's more of an awesome sandwich ... and not exactly something to rant about ... maybe rave, instead .

Got gas in the '87 MC LS today ... $2.49 a gallon! AWESOME!

Dad and Mom never had a '77-'79 Caprice. Though, one year when we visited in PA and flew (instead of driving), we rented a Caprice of that vintage. I prefer the Caprice of those 3 years ... because of the emblem . That'll be my next rant .

Ah, cool. Glad you are used to colder weather. A friend of mine just recently moved to this area from the south for a job. I have a feeling winter time will be a shock to his system... he he. Ah, NE PA ... cool place!

Yikes! Not too fond of that Taurus turned Camino ... but, the other 2, the classics, well, they just seem a bit better...lol.
