Re: tanks!!
Quote:
Much to my mother's woe, he modified just about every car we ever had. He even installed a drinking fountain, and windshield washing water-jets in the dashboard of a truck one day, just 'cause he felt like it!. Without fail, every time we got a new car, out came the blow torch. My mother would yell at him to put it away! (He is not allowed to touch her Ford Windstar unless it is to wash the windows). Mechanical changes aren't too hard if you find the right (crazy) inventor/mechanic. Of course you must understand what my father really is to understand where I'mcoming from. He's just like Dean Kamen. He's an eccentric, inventive genius. He's even the same height, build, and coloring, except that he has blue eyes and straight hair. He even wears the same denim uniform day in and day out. Now, add fifteen to twenty years on to that, and instead of a gentle, kindly, patient nature, substute a grouchy old fart with a bad temper (If you tell him that to his face, he takes it as a compliment!). Then instead of an attitude that the world can be made a better place with the proper application of technology, imagine a guy who thinks the world can be made a better place with the proper application of explosives. Then you have my father. The curmudgeonly pessimistic version of Dean Kamen. Somebody rescue me please!!!!!!!!!! Last edited by Amber H. : 10-04-2003 at 14:05. |
