  • Ok so since I'm leaving for my trip this weekend most of my posts this week will be about my trip. First of all, lets look at what life was like in America in 1948.

    • There was no interstate
    • 1948 was the last year the Cleveland Indians won the World Series
    • Citation won horse racing's triple crown
    • The Ed Sullivan Show premiered, as did the CBS Evening News, Howdy Doody and Meet The Press
    • Babe Ruth died.
    • There were only 48 states, Alaska and Hawaii had yet to be admitted.
    • Harry Truman beat Thomas Dewey in the presidential election in spite of the Chicago Tribune headline
    • Cost of a gallon of gas: 16 cents.
    • Average cost of a new house was $7,700 which was good because the average yearly wage was $2,950.

    Some people are worried (myself among them) about my safety on my trip. Well, I should be ok, because I'm bringing the guns with, take a look

    Yeah, ain't nobody gonna mess with that shit!
