To: a fool in paradise

That picture reminds me of my dad’s pickup truck. One bench seat. Dad drove, Mom sat by the door holding the baby, and me and my sister and my two other brothers sat in between.

Yep, I guess we all did stuff like that back in the day when we were actually free. In 1956 my brother and I bought a Model A(1928)for $60. We drove that thing all over our area which was a small rural county in Northern CA, a far different CA than exits now. One day we had a number of our friends from school decide they all wanted to ride in our Model A. A small town, there six kids besides me and my brother, 8 altogether. We all crammed into that model A, believe it or not and went tearing down the road with my brother driving. Hard to believe today we got that many HS age kids into that Model A but we did. No cops saw us but even if they had, it is very doubtful they would have stopped us. A year later we sold that same Model A for exactly what we paid for it, $60. I have regretted selling it every since, wish I had it now.
