Reality Check by Dave Whamond for May 19, 2020

Like they never had flats in the good old days.

Ain’t gonna happen, until you get a good ride that has tail fins and leaks oil…

The good old days when Ted drove a Datsun instead of a Nissan…

Ahhh he good old days…when I wasn’t good…I wasn’t old…and to be honest I’m thinking about the nights.

I love to take “get lost” road trips but GPS is making it way too easy.

It used to be that I’d just start driving in some random direction for several hours and turning whenever I got the notion to. Then when it’d be time to come back home, I’d pull out the paper map and figure out where in the blazes I am and how to get back. The one drawback was that I’d have to stay on the more-traveled roads since on a state-wide map, the little dirt roads and back roads wouldn’t be shown.

Now with GPS, I CAN take the back roads but then there’s no challenge to figuring out where I am in order to head back home.

But either way is a great way to explore the countryside and spend a day off.

Sorry. Obama can’t run again.

what a maroon

You can’t go back: those of us that went “right” instead of “left” are forever lost in a cloudy fog.

This fell flat. Nobodies driving in these great new days.

The good old day when you could get a flat tire fixed at a gas station or the oil changed or a fan belt replaced or how about a tune up? But then again in the old days a gas station was also known as a service station.

Hurry, the Albuquerque hot air balloon festival is about to begin.

he needs to fix that flat before he goes ANYWHERE!
