Talented cars!

 

A friend of mine from way back was visiting a neighbor and as she was leaving I noticed something that I can only guess is a very rare phenomenon here in Aiken:  Her car was able to tap-dance! 

 

Yep, that’s right, I said “tap-dance!”  As my friend drove down the street you could hear that car:  Tap, tap, ti tap tap tap, all down the road! 

 

The next time I saw her, I mentioned this.  She agreed right off, yep, that was her car, OK, and it did a pretty good number wherever she went, bringing their music with them.  Made me think of the Ed Sullivan show, and a mighty good rendition of what Dean Martin, Sammie Davis Jr., and company, might have done along with their music.  If you know anyone who might be on the longer side of their sixties, you might ask them about it.  Could be they even might remember something called “black and white” tee vee, a thing of the past, for sure, today!

 

And that’s OK.  We can’t all know all there is to know about our world and how it was quite a few years ago, now can we?  It’s nice if we do know a little history, though, isn’t it?  Might even come in handy every now and then—especially if we want to take a history course or two in one of our institutions of higher learning (like USCA, e.g.!) 

 

And if you do find yourself in one of those courses, don’t forget about my friend’s talented car.  It probably would bring an incredulous look or two from your professor.  Wouldn’t that be great?  I think so!

From sleep to wakeful thinking

 

Something I find more and more interesting is how I might awaken, be it the middle of the night, or morning, thinking about all sorts of oh so important stuff and then after arising I find all that stuff had disappeared from my thinking to the point that I might as well have had no thoughts at all as I was transitioning from my bed to my morning duties.  Why is that?

 

Certainly the thoughts I had were important—at the time, in any case—and that being the case, I wonder what I might do to save them.  A small recorder by the bed, perhaps?  Probably the best solution.  I do have one somewhere.  Think it might be in one small cabinet in my bedroom.  I’ll see if I can get it to work.

 

If I can get it to work, we’ll see just how important those transitory thoughts might be.  Hopefully, we might even have a topic or two for the blog. 

 

Check back tomorrow—OK?
