I finally bought a new car. One of the best features is that I now have that rear-view camera.

I've owned three cars in my entire lifetime. Each purchase is an unforgettable memory. Not that anything spectacular happened. It's just they were the major purchases in my 20s, 30s and 50s.

Years back, I worked as a school bus driver out in the far western suburbs. Because I would have a four hour break between shifts, one day I decided to make a quick trip out to Elgin.

Life is a gift from God. No individual has the right to take that gift. But we have living among us, those who are the spawn of the devil.
