Win a Car!

Wow! A giveaway of 5 Ford autos! And all anyone now has to do is use a time machine and go back to California in 1932 and go to the movies! I can hardly believe it, but I am so old that I can remember seeing those Fords (not the exact ones!) on the road.

Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse

I first saw this newsreel of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse when I was very young. It is most likely the reason that I am always a wee bit nervous whenever I drive on a bridge The bridge, which crossed Puget Sound in the state of Washington, opened on July 1, 1940 and collapsed four months later, on November 7, 1940. World War 2 caused postponement of plans to replace the bridge. The new bridge opened in 1950.
