There was this car on the highway that I at first thought was pulled over by a cop but as I got a bit closer, I could see the smoke (or steam?) Coming up from the hood! Then as I drove by, the whole inside was filled with smoke or something! You couldn't see inside.

The cop hand motioned to this young girl to stay back so she stepped back and he slowly walked towards the car. I felt bad because you don't know what that car is going to do. This girl must have been maybe teens or early 20s? She looked a little bit older than a young teen but I think she was younger than me.

I think they price them too high to start with so then they discount them.

I think so, too. I had a coat for years that I bought from Penney's and paid about $35 for, after about 6 or so markdowns. Supposedly the original price was about $250. It was a very nice coat for $35, but I really don't think anyone ever paid $250 for it!

That's a scary situation. It's good that there was a cop on scene working the issue.

Yup, definitely scary! And yeah, I guess she must have got out and called 911? Or someone reported it? Smart either way. And the officer seemed so calm too he just like walked toward it, carefully obviously, but didnt look scared or anything but i guess that's how you have to be.

I wonder what would cause the inside to fill up like that though?

I was driving a car that had a ground fault. The speedometer cable(coated plastic) caught on fire. I pulled over and looked under the car. A younger person stopped, saw the smoke, screamed, ran for her car and sped off! I calmly put the fire out with a dirt and then drove home.

She was a lot of help!

Been awol all morning but I still need to get out and check on the chickens. Poor girls, they really hate this cold & snow (to the point where it's kind of humorous). Now that they have a cover over the top and 3 sides of their run, there's no snow in that but they still act like the scary white stuff is going to get them.

@sunflour I think I forgot to congratulate you on your new egg layer! Aren't the Wellie eggs gorgeous? At least from what I remember they are...mine hasn't laid an egg for some time (little free loader). :rolleyes:

@rjohns39 and @ronott1
I remember the cards too! I went to work for a big insurance company back in the 70's, back when Data Processing was the area that took all our handwritten claims notations on paper bucksheets, punched the cards and fed them into the huge room-size computers. The rooms the computers were in had to have raised flooring to house all the cableing and they had to have the a/c set way low to keep things from overheating. When the company decided to check into pc's, my department was one of only 4 in the whole company that got to test them...they had the big floppy disks (which you had to format first), the printers were dot matrix and the paper was fed through them using the perforations on the side.
Sheesh, that was a day or two ago, lol. Things have changed...just a tiny bit :lol:

The tractor feed paper was very cool! We had a box of it here when I started in 1996. We donated it to someone with kids to use for art projects
