    That brings back bad memories. My mom bought ALL my clothes according to the "You'll grow into it" philosophy. I hated getting new clothes.

    High/low beam switch on the floor. Oh, and a separate pedal for reverse.

    I live half way between two small towns, so I turned right instead of left and "presto" new store. :Thumbsup:.

    Here in Carrie Nation's home State the grocery stores hung sheets over the beer displays so as not to inflame the sensibilities of those pious citizens. :crazy:

    That brings back memories, my home state of Connecticut (cant believe I just admitted that) had what was called Blue Laws, what you could and could not do on Sundays, alcohol sales was one of those that they still abided by when I was growing up. Not sure if they still do it or not.

    Heck - here in GA we just did get rid of the blanket prohibition of alcohol sales on Sundays (now, each town can decide for themselves).

    He hasn't aged much but his hair stylist needs to pick a look and stick with it.
