Not in our school they weren't..... * ART'n'LIFE It can be interestingly humorous, and maybe a bit scary, when a TV show, movie, book or song reflects your life experiences...sometimes TOO much. The revelation can leave you feeling edgily uncomfortable, though I've felt that way for a while now for too many reasons, not necessarily connected to any media. Life's too short to not be content, though.... TOO MUCH WORK, NOT ENOUGH PLAY Speaking of life being too short, anyone else notice that we work TOO DAMN MUCH? We don't always have the time to FULLY enjoy life. So ... maybe politicians can set a "minimum vacation amount" of, say, 20 days per year. They set the "minimum wage", so why not a required minimum number of vacation days...?! THERE ARE *shudders* Sentences like this grate on my nerves: 'There are many reasons why politicians should set a minimum vacation requirement.' This is better, imho: 'Politicians should set a minimum vacation requirement for many reasons.' I'm Cort & I approve this post.

* EXTRA! EXTRA! CHURCH STATE The US holds the notion of the separation of church & state. But, if this is true, why do some voters (me included) have to vote at a polling place that is located...IN A CHURCH? REASON PHRASES Two of the most-used (overly used?) phrases are "Everything happens for a reason" & "It all works out in the end". Really? You actually BELIEVE that? Well, I suppose, I do, too. YET, if these ARE true, how does that explain...the homeless?...the hungry?...people facing bankruptcy due to medical bills for procedures that have saved their life?...companies getting away with lies?...etc. SPEAKING OF LANGUAGE "We've got" ... and other similar phrases ... are so not correct English. Yet, we're bombarded with them EVERY day. Perhaps Congress could waste more time and outlaw the use of those phrases.... FOX BOX Just who designs those "game info" graphics for sports telecasts? With the advent of HD TV, it seems the boxes are smaller. I bet those graphics look HUGE to those creating them ... because the computer screen is RIGHT IN THEIR FACE. Don't know about you, but I don't watch TV that close. As small as some of those boxes are, with teeny tiny numbers, they've become virtually useless. WAKE UP PEOPLES! Just sayin'. Done warning.

* After my 11/11/2011 open heart surgery, I drove for the first time, 12/15/2011. I had a rush of excitement when I pulled my 1979 Caprice Classic out of the garage, where it had been with my 5 MCs. As I drove down the road, my thoughts turned to other cars, particularly ones I'd love to purchase... ...mid-late 1970s LTD/Thunderbird ...1975 Caprice Classic convertible ...1976 Caprice Classic sedan ...1989 Caprice Classic sedan ...1987 MC SS Aerocoupe ...2011 Dodge Charger ...& too many others.... Then, during that same drive, I wondered what it'd be like to have KITT, KARR, Herbie, the General Lee, Jim Rockford's Pontiac, Starsky & Hutch's Torino, & a host of other "starring" vehicles ALL in the SAME television show or movie.... I blame it on the drugs. What I DO NOT blame on the drugs are thoughts for a POTENTIAL "Post-Surgery Party", a return to hosting my CD SHOWCASE radio show, & my 2012 road trip, fueled in part, by finding this ... Kermit & Fozzie in the 1979 Muppet Movie, Movin' Right Along.... *sighs* If only I could figure out a way to be on the radio &/or "on the road" 24/7/365...! POST-SURGERY PARTY I'm not sure if I'm going to throw a party to celebrate. I had a blast at the Pre-Surgery Party, but that was before "winter". IF I do this, it'll probably be SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2012. Who would be IN? RADIO WAVES I'm looking into hosting regular versions of my radio show, CD SHOWCASE.

New job sounds like a plan.... Ugh. * ADDITIONAL 2012 SNAPSHOTS ...CARDIAC REHAB: I started this the same day I returned to work, 01/06/2012 (the 9th anniversary of my 3rd open heart surgery). So far, I like CR. The staff at the center seemed impressed with what I accomplished just the 1st day; it seems to be a nice stress reliever, definitely needed due to work issues. ...BOARD & GROUP: As owner, I'm renewing efforts to keep 1 Monte Carlo-specific board (3rd generation) & 1 MC-specific group (6th gen) alive.... ...WRITINGS: I will continue w/Motor Gnomes... http://www.motorgnomes.com/ ...and my Route 66 story, as well as a few other "projects"! _THAT'S THE HIGHWAY_ chapters in order... 1-4, Potential Sale; Arriving; Goodbye; Preparation: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/03/29/_thats-the-highway_/ 5-8, The Letter; An Idea; A Return; Research & A Test: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/03/31/_thats-the-highway_-2/ 9, The Drive & A Revelation: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/04/03/_thats-the-highway_-3/ 10, Stall Tactic: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/04/06/_thats-the-highway_-4/ 11-12, To Make Connections; Plans Verbalized: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/04/19/_thats-the-highway_-5/ 13, Road Trip Rush: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/05/12/_thats-the-highway_-7/ 14, Late Night & A Whistle: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/05/12/_thats-the-highway_-8/ 15, Awakening: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/05/25/_thats-the-highway_-9/ 16, Train & Memories: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/05/25/_thats-the-highway_-10/ 17, Shopkeeper: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/06/21/_thats-the-highway_-6/ 18-19, An Answer; Return Visit: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/08/11/_thats-the-highway_-12/ 20, The Picture: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/10/17/_thats-the-highway_-11/ 21, Shaping History: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/10/31/_thats-the-highway_-13/ 22-23, Rebuilding Idea; Planning Stage: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/12/09/_thats-the-highway_-14/ 24, Surprise Meeting: http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/12/16/_thats-the-highway_-15/ Cort | 38.m.IL | pigValve + paceMaker + cowValve | 5 MCs + 1 Caprice Classic *** 3rd GEN MC (1978,1979,1980) FORUM > http://thirdgenmontes.proboards.com/index.cgi *** ** 6th GEN (2000-07) GROUP > http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/y2kmontecarloclub/ ** "Get out there and find someone" __ Good Charlotte __ 'I Don't Want To Be In Love'

I like the 130R ... to a point. Definitely a good start, but needs some "fine touches". Course, I'd like to see this in person before I completely judge it. After all, some cars look better (or worse) in person than in pics/vids. At least the 130R is RWD, but what to name it? Chevette ... Chevelle ... Monte Carlo ... Malibu?

I'm not entirely keen on either concept, but I definitely like 130R better. Course ... heard some interesting name possibilities for that one ... Chevette, Chevelle, Malibu, Monte Carlo..... At least it is RWD!

Definitely like this one, but ... not for me. Too much FWD connected to that nameplate. Cort | 38.m.IL | pigValve + paceMaker + cowValve | 5 MCs + 1 Caprice Classic CHD.MCs.CC + RoadTrips.hobbies.RadioShows.us66 = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "Promises mean everything" __ Everclear __ 'Wonderful'
