Tina and Joe just sharing a story and photo of Gracie Actually Gracie is the ancestor of today's Mustang. We've had her for about three months and had to transplant her motor because the poor girl had a cracked block with lots of water in the oil. Got a lot of help from friends at the Model A club to put the new engine in and get her running again. 8

Just One More Thing PICTURE WORTH A TRILLION DOLLARS House Minority Leader pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP) The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores. These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct.1, and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on and on. This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for (salary is about $179,000 per year). Is this real or maybe it s a fake picture. from the editor 16
