Ha! No, that's in the living room, in front of the TV. Greyhounds like soft beds, so has one of those (about 3' on a side) in the living room and another in the bedroom. Hell, I don't even have my own room.

Sometime in the last 15 years they've wised up and have only bought Hondas and Toyotas. I'm firmly in the "I'll never buy an American car again in my life" camp. |

Seriously! "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" was filmed in Pittsburgh, and of course the plant where Dad worked is also in PA - though its about a 4 hour drive. And the company decided Dad would be their best spokesman to show Mister Rogers how applesauce is made. So Dad was on Mister Rogers, back in about 1984. |

Anyway they were all miserable underpowered hunks of turd and they were always a PITA to work on and they made me hate GM with a burning passion that penicillin won't get rid of. On the bright side at least they taught me how to drive stick (because that was back when it was cheaper to by a manual than an automatic.)

I worked on cars starting in 1971 and was a G.M. dealer tech from 1989 until I retired. I have worked on Hondas and Toyotas and many other brands and I'm not particularly impressed with any brand. I've also owned different brands and the worst cars I've had were an International Harvester truck, a Volvo, and a Toyota. I stick with G.M. cars now because I have access to parts and service and information and programming and whatever I need to keep them going on the cheap.

Based on that, I'd be willing to bet you never owned a Renault.
I was teaching automotive classes at a school here for a few years. I told someone that a Fiat was the worst car in the world and one of the other teachers overheard me. His reply was "Obviously you've never worked on an Audi". |

Only one 'g', but surprisingly, no! Biglerville is the home of Musselmans, which was the sworn enemy* of Knouse Foods, Dad's company. KF is based in Peach Glen, which really is just a spot where a couple roads come together, in the middle of a bunch of orchards. That's where the factory they toured is.

Clip on or real?
When we received the box with Dad's ashes, one of my sisters tied one of his bow ties around it. Also, put Mom's pearls around her box. I guess that may seem weird, but that's how we roll. |

I was sort of near there last September. Rode up PA 233 from Caledonia State Park but only got as far as Shippensburg Road. From there I plunged down to PA 234 and continued east. Pretty area.

You can put a cycling jersey around it. A Castelli Large ought to be about the right size, given the boxes are about 6" on a side.....
I told my wife that if I go first, it's up to her what they do with my remains. Donate the organs (if they work ok) and the rest is up to them. |

Yep. I have been through there twice. 2013 and 2020. First time I took 234 from U.S. 30. Nice little stretch is the Narrows. Stopped at that little park across from the gas station to eat a snack both times. Took 234 all the way to its eastern end.
