Thanks, I'm really having a hard time with this.Dude. I'm so sorry. Know that we care here at AK. You can take that for granted.
I was called by a neighbor while I was out doing errands today that my eldest rescue, Marlee was found killed by a predator critter. I was not ready to think about letting her go and am still having to accept things never being the same as this morning. That spawned the previous post.

@Quadman2 Easier said than done, my friend from the North. I think I've always lived my life looking over my shoulder, and while I realize it is futile and robs me of the present, I'm powerless to change it.
I remember reading a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon once. Talk about a fantastic little comic. Calvin states, "I want everything to stay the same, so I can take it for granted."
I feel ya, Calvin.
I think I saw a good deal of the pre-WW-2 talkies, musicals, serials and cartoons on our BW RCA console during the early 1950s. Lots of Hal Roach studios fare on Saturdays. Afaik, tv networks and studios were somehow linked so that the film archives could be used to fill time slots at the low cost of productions already made and paid.Saturday morning adventure serials (mostly from the `30s and `40s) on TV.... "Flash Gordon", "Buck Rogers", "Tim Tyler`s Luck", "Zorro", and several others provided our entertainment. Great memories !
My friend Billy Dougherty`s family had that exact same Buick (`56 ?), we christened it "The Mayflower"....I used it`s portholes to open beer bottles....Family out on the town, 6 kids and the folks.

Impressive press!@Quadman2 Thank you for those poetically uplifting words. I meant to say that I have always looked over my shoulder. That's what I cannot seem to help.
However, I'll give it yet another go. As you say, I'm still on the right side of the grass.
I was watching a short Youtube video about the world's largest metal presses. FASCINATING stuff. However, we no longer lead the world in that arena, and countless others. We do lead the world in the percentage of incarcerated citizens, currently 2.2 million I believe. South Africa is in second place. Not getting political, just a fact.
Just look at this big bitch - Here's the link for the Heavy Press Program.

I guess that is something else I miss.
