Abortion: Dead or Alive?
I feel that we need to stop abortion and make it illegal. Did you know that, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 55 million plus abortions were performed in the years 1973-2011 just in the United States alone? 50% of women who have sought an abortion have had at least one previous abortion. The abortion rate for the United States is among the highest of developed countries. Both are according to the Alan Gutt...

Tales from the old-timer Neighborhood Golden Years

Tales from the old-timer The 1929 Economic Depression and the ”Government Job”
My dad had a good job with the Kissel Kar Company of Hartford during World War I when the firm was busy with building trucks for the US Army.

Dad was the Purchasing Agent for the company and when he noticed that the Kissel company was having trouble paying its bills, he sniffed out a job with Ford at their Kingsford, Mich. plant.
