I was searching on Google for an image of the Elvis RV from the movie Cars. Instead what I found was a cute little off the road vehicle called the Ferves Ranger. At first I thought it was similar to the Amphicar, which I first saw on TV or in Popular Mechanics in the early […]
To Ponder
Letter: ‘Did I call on you?’
Our granddaughter is in kindergarten.
