Re: REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR DAY
Think B.R.A.C. (the base re-alignment and closure) they have closed so many bases that our forces are again concentrated into local areas in stead of being spread out. Just punch in the Lat/Long of a base in an ICBM even with a conventional warhead and most of our military might could be wiped out i...

Re: Model T accident at West Plains MO
So sad to hear this, I almost got hit on the road on which I live I went into the ditch. The other car didn't even stop to see if I was OK! Oh well the only damage was to my wallet for the tow truck to pull me out.

Re: E-Bay prices?
The ones that get me are the ones that see a T-bucket on Barrett/Jackson auction that sells for 60,000 then assumes the 23 ford in his fathers garage must be worth 15,000 even if it is a bit rusty.
