Peak America-- 1982 to 1999?

You've been watching Midnight in Paris again, haven't you?

Not sure I’ve ever seen it. I see it has Owen Wilson in it though, so may have to put it on the list.

America started its long decline into oblivion in 1963 when we let the Beatles play at Shea Stadium. I won't say the 50s were the high point of the Republic but...

Again though, the hygiene. It’s just such a deal killer.

I also think you’re forgetting that Chevy didn't make a 327 in 1955. The 327 didn’t come out until '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bellaire with the 4-barrel carburetor until '64. Sorry, 1950’s. If you didn’t even have a 327, you don’t make the cut.

Apparently with peaks and valleys there can also be a brief respite-

Yeah, not sure... I just googled "If I were ghey, and wanted to watch a movie that was a period piece, what would you recommend" and that's what came up.

I had a Schwinn Wasp bicycle with knee action suspension and fat tires.

The Beatles played Shea in '65. The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor in '63.

Now I'm getting grief for a ty[o.

When you would go up on a curb, would the other tire tilt out and ride along its edge?

It seemed like you knew a lot of details about the premise.

Solid movie- Owen Wilson delivers

I thought, er, I read he was the least interesting person in the movie.

He’s pretty good in most of his films.
Ka-chow!

America's peak belonged to Pike.

The 1950s or the 1850s?



Alex.
