I have come to really like heated seats and heated steering wheels. I have a Subaru Forester. It has a huge electronic suite. It has “X Mode”  Which steps in if a wheel slips on ice. It directs power to the adjacent opposite corners and chooses the best traction. It has two settings; snow and mud or snow and dirt. I can come to a full stop on a hill, then pull away from other vehicles. 

This Subaru Forester replaced my prior Forester which turned 200,000 miles.

Four Score
By Pat Ewing



"Now we stand behind old men's faces 
Speak of forgotten times and places
So bent are those who wouldn't break
Who did fearsome things with lives at stake 
Their shadows sharp and darker then… 
Now fading away are these old men.

But no one can steal the legends bold 
Not thieves nor liars nor growing old 
To never weave excuses that some men must
But to stand with men who earned our trust 
And speak of what we did back then 
Before we became, these old men.”
