About six 10 months after I got married I ended up going to Saudi Arabia as part of Desert Shield/Desert Storm leaving my bride behind in Florida. We'd actually only been in Florida for about 8 or 9 weeks and only in our house for about 5 weeks before I got sent away. Florida has some pretty peculiar laws about license plates that maybe don't totally jive with the spirit of the Soldiers and Sailors relief act, and this was also when they were doing the big push on Impact fees and new tag fees. Bottom line is tags for her car (worth maybe $1,800-2,000) would be around $600, for my Mustang well over $1,000 since I bought the Mustang from my Dad in Michigan I never paid any sales tax as a transaction between family members was a non-taxable event. This really offended Florida and they wanted me to pay the sales tax. The wife was driving her car to work, the Michigan tags upset the university police so she started driving the Mustang. I get a letter from her that she's driving the Mustang but the gas mileage is really bad. A few days later I get another letter asking me if I knew I had a 5 speed in the Mustang. The University of South Florida Police were still PO'd that she was driving a car with Michigan tags and demanded I get at least Florida "Reg only" tags, yep I'm going to bop over to the Florida DMV office in Dhahran Saudi Arabia and pick 'em up on my day off. We also had an incident in the same Mustang during our honeymoon were I ended up with bruises on the front and back of my head from going to full boost with the turbo to smashing my face on the dash when she realized we were doing about 85 so she up shifted and hit the brakes. We have existed for the last 25 years as a happily married couple BUT anything she's going to drive regularly has had an automatic transmission.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
