No snow in a hundred years? Sure about that? I grew up in Indiana and we always got pretty good snow, but each year with the first snow fall of the year in Texas the news always showed it and all of the crashes with not much more snow than in your pictures. We always used to ask "Whats wrong with them people crashing down there with no more snow than that?". AND THEN IT HAPPENED TO ME. I got stationed at Ft. Hood in Killeen in the early '80's and became a victim myself one night with no more snow than in your pictures. Me and some buddies went out bar hopping and as we did, it snowed just like that. When we left to go back to the base, toasted, we were passing all kinds of cars crashed upside down in the median along whatever highway all the way back to the base. I was driving and got to the last clover leaf just outside the base and there was a cop car on one of the clovers because someone went off and flipped. As I hit my clover, I too went off the road and spun all the way down to the bottom, but made it. The cop saw us go down, so he got into his car and started on that clover trying to work his way to our clover, and knowing if he got to us and seen how toasted we were, especially me driving, I might still be in jail today, so I drove the opposite way of him up and onto the clover that got us onto base through the gate. Never done that again. Learned my lesson that snow or rain on a Texas highway aint nothing like up here in Indiana, except like ice. Pure ice, and I will never make fun of Texas drivers again.
By the way, as a big block Chevy guy from way back when, I always loved Falcons. Always wanted to take a 351 Windsor and bore and stroke it somewhere over 400 inches, maybe about 413 or so, leave them 260 or 289 emblems on the sheet metal and valve covers and tell everyone "...just a mild cam and headers is all". I got that idea from Bill Jenkins from back in the day when he used to run a bored and stroked 409 and tell everyone it was a 348. Grin. Take care of that thing.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
