Same car, more toys in the New Yorker.

My Newport had crank windows. The New Yorker probably had electric windows.

And climate control, 'lectric leather seats and such.   Ya know ya could remove the trunk lid from one and have a double cab Sport Utility Truck like that are all the rage.

HAPPY LAMMAS DAY (August 1)

From the Old English hlaf, "loaf," and maesse, "mass" or "feast," Lammas is very old. It derives from the ancient English festival the Gule of August, which marked the beginning of the harvest, traditionally August 1. The early English church kept this pagan dedication of the first fruits but converted it to Christian usage. Through the centuries, "loaf-mass" became corrupted in spelling and pronunciation to Lammas. On Lammas Day, loaves of bread were baked from the first-ripened grain and brought to the churches to be consecrated.
"After Lammas Day, corn ripens as much by night as by day."

Sod Buster's August Weather Lore

Observe on what day in August the first heavy fog occurs, and expect a hard frost on the same day in October.

If the first week in August is unusually warm, the winter will be white and long.    

If corn husks are thicker than usual, a cold winter lies ahead.

If corn blades twist up, it will rain.

Based on the Moon's signs, here are some best days for certain gardening activities:

I usually don't shoot them until after the first frost.  There are less fleas that way. 

[Delmonico]

Me neither, At 100+ today I don't think a lot of folks went out today.  They did that several years ago cause almost no one hunts them any way and that way there is a month that they are the only season open, the idea was to get more to try it I guess.
