Model T's and such...


I spotted a little mention of a big sale scheduled in Spearfish, SD.  A man named Les Schuchardt is selling his collection of old cars, he says while he's still around to watch them get sold.  To take a look at some of the treasures, do a google search by typing in Schuchardt car auction and it should get an interested looker to the auction bill.  I just finished watching the show American Pickers where it's entertaining to watch the two pickers start going through some people's junk collections.  It reminds me a lot of my dad.  Well, anyway Les Schuchardt did the same, only specializing in old cars.  This sale should bring a lot of  money.  The auctioneer said, "There is so much history that this man has.  That's why the national magazines are coming - it's a significant collection."

I read with sadness about Minnesota's worst air disaster when a Cessna152, a small two-seater plane, crashed into a Norwegian cemetery early this morning.  Ole and Sven, working in search and rescue, have recovered 123 bodies so far, and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.

In the Different Strokes for Different Folks Dept we have a situation where national champion NDSU isn't disciplining football players who passed a petition under fraudulent conditions causing the sec'y of state to disqualify two ballot measures in our upcoming state election.  They're going to let the legal system take its course first.  Supporters of the two disqualified measures probably don't care much about champions this morning.  In the meantime, onward to another championship.
