Memories of VW's with Rolls Royce grills...

Whenever I think about car grills, I can't help but remember back to when converting a VW bug with the Rolls Royce conversion and grill was popular. I always wanted a VW bug, not necessarily with the idea in mind to convert one, but I always thought they looked cool.

Cabric verus cambric

When I came across this link titled, cabric fabric stores in my mind I thought of the Simon and Garfunkle song, "Scarborough Fair" and I thought perhaps it was cabric not cambric that is in the lyrics.

Once I started blogging and started learning about a variety of different business practices, I learned what a POS system was, that it was a "Point of Sale" system. Though I admit every time I come across those three letters, I think back to my father loudly proclaiming that one of his friends was driving a POS compared to whatever his car of the moment was...
