As for electric cars, one must remember that we are at the beginning of a new technology.
Wake me up or roll me over in my grave (which ever comes first) when I can drive 450 miles on one charge, then pull into a station and get another full charge in less than five minutes!

I think you can get the former; it's the latter that is lagging behind.

When I was 7 yrs old, I was bitten by a Copperhead snake in Huntington County. Spent one night in the hospital there. I remember being given the Golden book titled "The Little Red Caboose" from that episode.

This photo reminds me of one of Woody Allen's stand-up routines where he talks about his one experience moose-hunting. The gist of the story was Allen goes hunting where, to his great surprise, he shot a moose, unknowingly only a grazing head-shot which renders the moose unconscious. He ties it over the front fender of his car and drives off to return to the city. Half way through the Holland Tunnel the moose regains consciousness...

The deer on the fender of the car looks kinda young to be shot, doesn't he? I don't know, I'm just going by the length of the antlers.

This is a picture of our jalopy taken in the fall of 1945 in KC Mo at the end of the war with Japan. Dad bought the trailer and we were on our way to California to pick up my brother that was getting out of the Navy. His ship was supposed to dock in San Diego but ended up coming in at San Francisco so we missed him.

The car made it back but the trailer didn't. Some man pulled out in front of us going down down a hill and dad served to miss him but the trailer didn't.

During the war my dad was a final assembly supervisor for North American Aviation that built the B25s. He had to sign off that the aircraft was air worthy which meant he had to go out on all the first flights. Lots of interesting stories about not knowing if the plane was going to make it off the runway or make it back.

My brother was on the USS Sherburne and his ship was in Tokyo bay when the Japanese signed the surrender. He was watching it through binoculars.

Wow, those are some big doors. Love the perforated disc rims.

San Pedro was a big port for the Navy toward the end of the war...the Old Man embarked and disembarked there. He always said the train ride from L. A. to Baltimore was the worst, especially the last leg on the Pennsylvania. He used to tell a story about how he was washing up in one of the troop sleepers and inadvertently left his toothbrush on the washbasin. Came back a few minutes later to retrieve it and there was a guy there brushing his teeth with his toothbrush. The Old Man said, "Hey, that's my toothbrush!", to which the guy apologized profusely, saying that he thought it belonged to the railroad, lol...

Nope. Qualifies as a buck and legal. Yummy, too!

Things have changed in Pa.
To achieve this goal, APRs needed to protect most yearling bucks (1.5 years of age) from harvest. This required two different APRs: a 4-points-to-an-antler restriction in western Pennsylvania and a 3-points-to-an-antler over the rest of the state (excluding junior hunters)

That would explain the explosion in the deer population.......... However, the photo looks like 1937 by that license plate......

In those days, cars seemed to have been built for the COMFORT of the driver and passengers, who were seemingly being provided with a drawing-room to occupy. Nowadays, cars seem to be built to impart the impression of occupants being compressed and confined, loaded into a missile, ready for launching.

More like an airplane cockpit, I'd think. At least when I drove a Saab it gave that impression.

Bucks,Berks,Chester and Montgomery may be limitless for doe. You can buy extra doe permits. It's a real cash cow for the state. Hunters buy half a dozen to fill their freezers. While animal lovers buy 10 thinking they are saving a deer. little do they know the state prints these till they run out of ink.

And the environment sure isn't going to run out of doe.
