If you don't see a daytime addition, I went to my new job . . .

I'm on call from Oct.2nd to the 20th.

Bernalillo County, NM in which Albuquerque reside sucks. You have to be 75 to get out of Jury Duty - I'm 72. The only cars that don't require an emissions test have to be 35 years old. Mines 28.

See at the bottom of this note: "Legal Tender" - it never expires. If you presented this note at any establishment, it's worth its face value: $5. Of course you would be very foolish if you did as it's worth about $125.

The Autobianchi A112 Runabout is a concept car developed by Bertone and first shown in 1969. The small two-seat, mid-engined car was the inspiration for the Fiat X1/9 that appeared in 1972.

You've heard the expression: "Happy As A Clam." Clams are only happy when the tide is in and water covers them. Tide goes out, now they are readily accessible to all kinds of predators, especially sea birds and of course humans.

Raise your hand if you remember this promo. Lee's hand is up.

I was watching a TV show yesterday and this came on. My mother had to work Saturdays and really couldn't afford a baby sitter for me for 8 hours. So she dropped me off at the local movie theater with $5 and that's where I spent almost every Saturday for about 3 months until she changed jobs. I was 12 at the time. In those days theaters showed double and triple features along with cartoons and trailers. That $5 covered it all plus something to eat for lunch and dinner.

My daughter is the judicial assistant to the Federal Court judge for central/western Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

She signed us up to participate as jurors in a mock trial, in support of a program for training new attorneys.

It was fun; it was a full day and we really got into it (like you tend to forget it is pretend and everyone takes their roles very seriously - until it's over).

And - no - it does not count as jury duty so we are still eligible to be called.

The 1950s was a time in Detroit when anything goes as far as concept cars. No other time compares. One styling que was the Dorsal Fin as seen on the Pontiac Club-De-Mer and GM's Firebird III. There were others from Buick and Ford:
