I have fond memories of driving my Ford Ranger, and I loved the stick shift. Alex and I had many adventures driving in my truck, especially to Boystown in Chicago. What a trip! ajtonyperkins.com

I am a huge fan of Dorothy Kilgallen. I compiled this video about her amazing life and mysterious death. Sadly, few people have heard of this once great media star, and she remains mostly forgotten.
