Presidential


Vote for me!!













The President's cars.    Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman  enjoyed riding in a Lincoln.  Eisenhower liked a 1953 El Dorado and a 1950 Lincoln first bubble car.  1961 John F. Kennedy rode in a 1961 Continental , the car that he was shot in.  Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan liked the  Lincoln during the seventies.   1983 Ronald Reagan chose the 1983 Cadillac to ride in.   1989 H.W. Bush liked the 1972 Lincoln.  1993 Bill Clinton chose a Cadillac and in 2001 A Cadillac DTS was the car for George W. Bush.    As for the last  one....Obama.....I wonder if it is true and what kind of a car is it?   A show piece would most likely be something he would want to ride high in but I think he is more at home in a golf cart.

I've told the tale of sitting on the running board of President Roosevelt's car until chased away.   He was attending his son's wedding over in Nahant, Mass. and three of us hiked miles to see him.  I wish we had a camera with us to show our claim to fame.

I hope you are out riding around in your 'caddy' today enjoying the weather.  Some of you are still shoveling snow so take it slow and easy so you do not overdo the heart.     It is hard work and requires a bit of rest between shovel fulls.    We took advantage of warm sunshine and walked the pathway over at Lone Ranch Beach.   There were lots of folks out and about watching a calm ocean and hoping someone would catch a ling cod or two and share.

Stay safe and enjoy your seconds today.   I'm off to have my coffee and wake up.  I'd share if you were here.   Share what a nice word. . .  make good use of it today and share YOU with those you love.   One good deed deserves another.    Hugs to all.
