Cars, Diners, and Pollution

1948 Ford Convertible [ check it out ]
I have found my dream car.
Last night I went with my parents to a car show in Georgetown, KY. My dad frequents theses to sell Chrome insurance for antique and exotic cars. After eating at the amazing Sam’s Diner (where guys that look like bikers and girls that look like teeny boppers in tees serve amazing home cooking) we walked around to check out the show. This is where I saw my dream car. A 1948 Ford convertible in a chocolatey red-brown with a cream colored interior. It couldn’t have been better with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It’s perfectly wonderful.

Speaking of Diner…
Sam’s Diner is amazing. Very home-town good food with so many interesting characters I couldn’t help but get into a writing mood. The head chef looks like he’s part of a biker gang and the owner is sorta burley himself. We sat at the bar, the best seats in the place in my opinion. The head waitress asked us to watch the boys in the back and tell her if they were slacking.
While sitting there, looking around the décor, I decided I want a kitchen decorated like a diner with metal antique signs, diner counter tops with funky stools, and all. I think it would be awesome.

Rant
Pollution
Ok, so we hear all the time about how selfish, horrible Americans created Global Warming and all that jazz because we waste and pollute. This week’s Weekly has an article on China’s pollution. A few facts: Beijing has 40% more smog than Los Angelas (you can even taste grit when you breathe in the air; many Olympians have pulled out, feeling their health was more important than competing), China produces a 3rd of the worlds garbage (only 10% of which is recycled), a majority of China’s rivers are polluted, and 20% of Chinese babies have defects due to pollution.
I’m not saying America shouldn’t do it’s best to try and make our world a cleaner place. The world and it’s care is in the hands of all people. We should be encouraging others to do their best to do what they can.
