Yeah, the world may remember this as the day Elvis died, but what I remember most is being with my Dad in the Governor Thomas Johnson High School parking lot practicing my parallel parking in a 1969 Chevrolet Impala in preparation on getting my drivers license. Now, for those of you not familiar with a 69 Impala, they were a TANK of a car. Not one of these small little death traps that people zing around in today. This thing had some steel to it. And it's a good thing I learned how to drive, and park a tank of a car because I took my final driving test in a 1965 Oldsmobile Delta 88, another tank of a car. Yeah, we had REAL BIG gas guzzlers back then, but then again, gas was only 68 cents a gallon so...... This was way before the OPEC oil embargo of 1979/1980. God we had some fun back in those days...... I miss my big cars.....Wait. You went to TJ high school?! Yeah, I went to TJ. Graduated in 1979. I'm still in Frederick (Fredneck as the old time locals call it) but I make the trip to Jacksonville every chance I get to see the Jags play. Now, if you're wondering HOW I became a Jags fan, that's easy...... I was living in Jax when they got the team. This was after the Colts left Baltimore in the middle of the damn night and BEFORE the Ravens (Old Cleveland Browns) moved in. I came back to Maryland before that and just stuck with the Jags. Yeah, I get grief from my Daughter and Son In Law because they just happen to live in PA and are Steelers fans but..... since I was hardly around when she was growing up (Her mother split on me and moved out of state) I didn't get the chance to raise her right...... (Then again, I was too much of a drunken [BLEEP] back then to care so... It's partly my fault too) You know trouble is right around the corner when your best friend tells you to hold his beer!!
