COUNTING THE MINUTES!

COUNTING THE MINUTES!

  This is a big day in automotive

history although a sad one as well.

However you chooss to look at it

the man to credit or blame for the

anniversary is Carl Magee. Carl 

was at attorney, a newspaper

owner/reporter, and an inventor.

And on this very day in 1935 Carl's

newest invention hit the streets of

Oklahoma City. It was the parking

meter! For just a nickle you could get

an hour of paking! Most meters don't

take nickles these days. Some don't

even take quarters! The newest versions

and connected to computer systems which

keep track of your parking. Stay too long

and you'll still find yourself getting a ticket

and having to pay a fine! Thanks Carl!!!!

Hope your meter is full, you're feeling

well, and that all your NEWS is good!
