CHEAP GASOLINE AND DRIVE-IN MOVIES

'68 CHEVY...MY FAVORITE OF THE SHOW...

73 BUICK HARDTOP, MIGHTY SHARP

A CLASSIC HOT ROD...
...DITTO
Sunday, 9:00 AM.  61 degrees F, wind variable and changing, with moderate gusts at times.  The sky is partly cloudy and we may get some morning showers after a trace of rain falling last night.  The humidity is 89% and the barometer is steady at 29.72".
   Yesterday was a classic summer day, too pleasantly warm to do much of anything useful, so in the afternoon we went to Washburn for the annual "Brownstone Days" celebration.  The only thing that really interested us was ice cream cones and the Car Show.  The former helped with the heat and the later stirred up a lot of memories.  
   Joan and I grew up back in the days when the automobile was the icon of youthful freedom, rebellion and (gasp) romance, and we both owned cars that we treasured and wish we had kept as we would be wealthy if we had.  
   Anyway, ample horsepower was always available for a quick thrill and a fast getaway from reality in those days of cheap gasoline and drive-in movies.
