Hello from sunny San Francisco. We don't get to say that much. It must finally be September if the fog is almost gone.

One comment about those station wagons. My parents could haul the whole neighborhood of kids in it. They were great except for getting car sick riding in the backward-facing rear seat. I guess that was two comments.

San Francisco and fog, like peanut butter and jelly, they both go together. Actually I have never been there, but if I go to Hayward this weekend I will have to take my camera and get some pics.

I remember enjoying facing backward in the synthetic woody wagon and making faces at others while on the freeway....or worse.

I remember riding on the tailgate with t he window down in a '70Chevy Kingswood Station wagon. Of course, this was on the dirt roads of Oregon in 1973 I believe, when there was no seatbelt laws. We had gone up to see some property dad bought. Interesting thing about driving a station wagon on dirt roads with the back window open, guess where the dust ends up? LOL

Hello Clint. Not here. Maybe 67, but not anywhere near 34.
