The Methodist Church has sent representatives to talk to me about finishing the repairs on my house. We'll see what comes from that. For now I am living in a FEMA Trailer on my property. Probably about half of the population is better off now than before the storm. The rest of us will eventually get back to normal.
When the Dodge Magnum came out I had a lot of people telling me that someone else had built a car like mine. When I saw the Magnum for the first time I thought it did look like mine. But when you sit it the Magnum It's like sitting in a normal car. When you sit in my Civic it's really tight in there. You have to sit in a reclining position about a foot back from where the original seat was. I welded about a foot of tail pipe to the steering wheel to extend it back. The car has a lot of problems now, it needs a whole new engine, plus there are rust holes all over it, and a lot of electrical stuff is not working. I really don't look forward to all of the work but I had always planned on traveling with this car when I retired. I can not afford to travel unless I can get at least 50 mpg, so the Suzuki Aerio that I drive won't do. It gets between 25 and 30 mpg.
