"I’ve got all of the miles on this machine, but the roads weren’t always paved..."



Hello,

This is the mantra for all of us older guys and girls. We have had to “roll with the punches” in our long, life history, to get along in this complicated world. The miles are always going to be there, some of our history got cut short, (brother at age 52). But, the family history continues with the memories, friends, photos, and stories written down in a journal.

"If I ever go missing, I want my picture on a bottle of beer instead of a milk carton. That way my friends will know I am missing."

Hello,

This quote reminded me of an art project I made one year. It was a milk carton pattern that I printed photos of a friend’s car and put on labels of a real company on the outside.

It got quite a chuckle when he saw the real life size milk carton with his photo on the outside.

Lauren Duski “Just like that...it all comes back to you...Deja Vu”

Hello,

When we were watching a singing compe***ion on the big screen a long time ago, a singer happen to catch our eye. Her style was pretty good and we tried following her career for a while. But, in a published story about her career in music, she had a great comment for all to read:

“Just like that...it all comes back to you...Deja Vu” from her song: Deja Vu

It is kind of a sad song about various aspects of living together. But, what country song doesn’t have some stories in it?

Jnaki

Yes, it is somewhat similar to Yogi Berra’s quote:
"It's like Deja Vu all over again." But, Yogi Berra can’t sing.

“If you are not evolving, you are always behind.”

Hello,

Evolution is not a bad word. We have all evolved from the early times of the 40s and 50s to be what we are today. So, you, too, have evolved. (despite what the current hot topic is about going back to a more peaceful, less hectic time... ) Wearing Levi’s as a daily item is still a throwback to the Levi jeans of long ago. But, the styles and material have evolved.

Going back to a staid time period, in mind only, is not only good, it helps us keep on pushing for more ideas to better our society. The technology in all things has made life for us, simpler and a learning experience all rolled into one. But, it is up to us to read and learn from our mistakes. Then, push forward to a betterment of ourselves, families and society in general.

Jnaki

No one wants to be behind in anything. One strives to do the best they can, isn’t that what our parents kept pushing on us over the teenage years, day in and day out? It must have worked. Some, still refuse the technology as too fast, too much, but that new stuff is learning in the best way. It is how we all evolve to the next level.

“IF YOU ARE NOT EVOLVING, YOU ARE ALWAYS BEHIND…” It applies to hot rods, ideas, family life, education and technology to keep us safe to fight a pandemic on another day.
