There was a story on the radio in the last year, where senior guy and wife stopped for lunch on some thong trip. Guy forgot his wife and left. People in diner bought her a bus ticket to final destination, and cops looked for husband to tell him. Middle America. Doubt the north east would help her. Some friends were hunting on the eastern shore and started back to DC late at night. One guy was sleeping in the back of the pickup and the other two were up front. They stopped at a light in Cambridge and since it was late the guy in the back decided he would take a leak out the back. They drove off and he fell out wearing nothing but his long johns. Nobody noticed. Long story short, he stood there in the intersection until someone came along and took him to a phone where he called the cops. They stopped the other two at the toll booth for the bridge and turned them around. They got back and found him shivvering in the phone booth. |

Call the Marriott When I was a kid my dad had a 51 Ford pickup truck with a broken gas gauge. He didn't have a written checklist, but every time he drove the truck he put $1 worth of gas in it. (the good old days) One day he couldn't get the whole $1 in. Mikek |

Kids would come in and pool their money to get 30-50 cents worth of gas. Enough for the evening. 21-29 cents a gallon. |

The other guy and I would each pitch in 50 cents for gas money. That was good for 3 or 4 gallons, 50 or 60 miles with my old 1958 Ford 6 cylinder. That Ford was the least expensive car I've ever owned. I bought it in the summer of 1965 for $260, drove it 20,000 miles, and sold it a year later for $230. |
