I see all the posts concerning the cost of gas, the mileage different cars get and why, the jobs we are losing overseas, why the world is like it is in general,etc, etc, etc, and I just have to laugh. The general feeling I get from many posts is that all this stuff is happening for the very first time and that unless things change "the world is gonna end".
The funny thing is that none of what"s happening is really new. I"ve read articles in the paper from 1955 through the early "60"s where people are moaning and growning about the US losing way to many jobs to foreigh companies, too many imigrants coming in, and on and on. Then the other day I read an article in a magazine"s "yearbook" from 1976 and you wouldn"t believe how similar it all sounded to the whole gas, economy, enviromental mess that"s so prevailant nowdays. Heck there were experts having a fit about catalytic converters spouting off about everything from the fire hazard they were to the polutants they would cause. Then you had the other group that thought they were the greatest thing. There was the crowd that was really "onboard" with the small car idea that said there would never be any full size cars made again because we were "running out of fuel, and on and on again.
The more I read the more all of what"s happening nowdays and the predictions of gloom and doom it caused struck me as sorta funny. It just goes to prove that no matter what happens in this world there is always gonna be an ebb and flow of problems and ideas. We can worry about them til we die of worry or we can accept them for what they are and know that eventually things will eventually work themselves out somehow. Not to say that we shouldn"t do our best to make things work out in the best possible way but at the same time we have to realize that no matter what happens the world isn"t just gonna end tomorrow because there are problems. Just based on what I read much of what we see nowdays has been going on in some form or fashion anywhere from 32 to 52 years and we are all still very much here. Eventually no matter what happens thing will find that "happy medium" once again and the world will rock right on along for another 50 plus years with or without us....

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
