In the movies, such as Thunder Road starring Robert Mitchum, we saw the fast driving and daring it took to drive a car loaded with 120 proof alcohol. This was not the gasohol that we have now. It was drinking alcohol and it was made with corn mash.
In the history of National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) many of the early drivers will tell you that they started racing after the pressure got too hot to handle from the revenuers when they were running illegal liquor or moonshine as we know it.

Well so far this story has lasted longer than the time it took to ride it, I know that I have given you about 3 times as many words per mile than we rode. I enjoy bringing stories like this to you; it makes me feel like it there is a family connection between you and me. But the editor needs the space for more gainful uses. So I am going to finish this up this week.

At 5:30 a.m. one morning recently, following one of our summer rains, we were awakened by our home security system beeping an alarm that something was wrong in our house. I am not the best in coordination or clear thinking when awakened from a sound sleep and the burglar alarm going off didn't help matters. I also can't see real well without my glasses and the alarm panel display containing the message of what was wrong looked like the image of Big Foot on a home video.
