Stamped on the back: Added Note: Each morning after completing the blog I do 30 minutes on the Crosswalk Tread Mill which I have just completed. I start out at speed 1.9 and finish at 2.6 and the distance indicator reads 1.00. I then announce to anyone that will listen that I walk a mile a day and to my dismay, get roundly scoffed at. Maybe some contributor can translate what the 1.00 actually means. |

My crude calculations came out as ;
*At an AVERAGE of "2.3" Mi. per Hr.
*for 1/2 an Hr.
*With YOUR Senior Discount Included
& the $ sign display on OFF !
( PLEASE CHECK INSTRUCTION BOOK )
SOMEONE(?) owes "YOU" : $1.00 A Day
( HELLO )
I advise you promptly contact
your attorneys
FINDEM, CETCHEM & CONFRONTEM LLC.
1st thing is to reset the damn
thing back to zero so you don't
get caught out Buckles & then
come up with a different odd #
of miles each day (out loud)
Kinda like FOURTEEN & A HALF
folllowed by EIGHT the next day
Variety is the spice of life
The scoffing might stop
I meant to add that you should
start at a lower # & work up to
the attention getters
But furthermore to answer your
original question I have no clue
My treadmill of a little over
2 years of age remains pristine
in the sunroom awaiting my 2nd
visit (any day now)
Somebody owes you a dollar
No Jim we ALL owe him a dollar
Do you walk a mile for a camel? And isn't the dromedary on the package known to be from a circus or zoo?

If we can take a break from the physical fitness discussion and
get back to this interesting photo for a minute...
Notice how the lithographer is wearing his best suit and tie here; no tee shirts and jeans on this advance.
You see the litho sticks are longer than the man is tall- they had to reach high windows in those days.
Note the long-handled brushes leaning against the billcar- one guy has left his with the expensive brush end down in the dirt and no doubt call the devil for it when the boss saw it.
Yes, gentle reader, I am aware that this was a truck but we still called principal advance truck a billcar for many years.
Dave,
Since the biller is standing in front of the billcar with his litho sticks in hand that ought to be his hod under his arm.

You can call it whatever you like
but I would call it a customized
single axle lowboy semi trailer
probably about 38 feet long
(no offense Whitey)
Buckles,
If you are through showing the Nautilus, or what ever it is called, who "it's Daddy is" I am seeking your assistance on a matter. John Milton suggested you may know more about the subject:
