The Good Old Days
I guess this must be Nostalgic Week for me. Yesterday, I was rambling about going to downtown Knoxville to Woolworth’s. Then another friend sent we a link to flash movie about those western movies… Then I found lots more. I hope you enjoy. (Time in Minutes:Seconds)

Granddaddy and His Car 
This pictures brings back lots of memories. It was my first car, a 1950 Ford V8, 2 door, straight shift with overdrive. It was a dull gray color, but soon after I got the car I got it painted Black.
When I bought the car, I didn’t know how to drive a straight shift. With Dad’s help and a vacant lot next door, I practiced until I got my driver’s license. I was at the door of the DMV on my birthday, but they said come back tomorrow. It was raining a little bit that day.
I got me a ding-dong bell, and Ooga horn on the car. I wish I still had that car. And that same wish goes out from probably every guy about his first car.
Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when
you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
Put a grain of boldness into everything you do.

Joke of the Day
A small town doctor was famous in the area for always catching large fish.
One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips he got a call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy.
The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with so the doctor used his fishing scales. The baby weighed 32 lb. 10 oz
