For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

This man owned and drove the same car for 82 years ... Thx Dr. H!


Subject: THIS MAN OWNED AND DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82 YEARS

Mr.  Allen Swift:  Born:  1908 ˜ Died  2010

    This  man owned & drove the same car for 82 YEARS.

Can  you imagine even having the same car for 82  years? 

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield ,  Massachusetts) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1  Roadster from his father,
 brand  new - as a graduation gift in 1928. 

He drove it  up until his death last year ... at the age of  102!!!

He was the oldest living owner of a car that  was purchased new. 

Just thought you'd like to  see it.

It was donated to a Springfield museum after  his death.

It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs  like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in  perfect cosmetic condition.
 (82  years). That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per  month)...

1,070,000  that's miles not kilometres!!
  
That's  British engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make  them like this anymore.
