I had a 56 Ford Country Squire Wagon. It was quite a beast. Huge V-8, Emerald
green metal flake with fake wood sides. Big fat white wall tires. Green tinted
glass all around. The radio was tubes, but it had seek and scan that were
entertainment all by themselves as the needle on the scale traveled back and
forth looking for a signal. It had auto trans, power steering and all sorts of
other cool stuff for the time. Everything on and in the car was some shade of
green.

The Nomad was a 57 Chevy. It was truly a surfer ride. They were a favorite for
customizers.

Yes. The 56 Ford had the same kind of radio. I forgot all about
that. As I recall, the scan stopped working at one point, and it would
go on and on no matter what you did. The only way to stop it was to
turn off the radio. It had auto trans, no power steering, which made
it difficult for my mom to drive. That's why I got it. It had the
Thunderbird engine, v8. The convertable was really great for dates in
West Los Angeles in the Summer.

Well obviously you need either to awaken your sense of comprehension or slip
on the beer goggles and claim a Drunk Defense... because, sure as
shootin'... Nomad means what I said it does Bob!

And it also meant something you DIDN'T know until I posted from Websters.
You were caught cleanly, Mooron.

Sorry, Mooron. You can flip and fight my hooks all you want, but the Websters
entry shows my usage was correct. You only knew half of the word's meaning!
You're not just caught, you're on the dinner table!

I'm certain that this fact is in large part responsible for your
continued courtesy and acquiescence to me.


So true!
