Mitt Romney = Clark Griswold?

If Romney hadn't admitted it, I wouldn't believe it. But Romney, the former governor and present presidential candidate, strapped his dog's crate to the top of his car for a twelve hour drive to Ontario during a vacation in the early 1990s.

I have NEVER heard of anyone doing this to a family pet. Ever. If the pet doesn't travel well, it's time for a petsitter or a kennel. But crating the dog and then putting it on the roof rack? What if it had fallen off?

*shudders*

And things are a bit better....

( A Decent Few Days )

A bit of nostalgia as well...the local PBS station was broadcasting a little documentary on Eddie Shore and the Springfield Indians, the old minor league hockey team that is now the Springfield Falcons. Lovely to hear "Shake, Rattle and Roll" again, and see footage of the skating at the old Coliseum at the Eastern States Exposition. I only saw schoolboy hockey there, but it was a grand place to watch a game.
