4. Or, "Grind me a pound while you're at it!"

I had better luck with the 48 Dodge when I got my father to drive it while I watched. By seeing how he managed the double-clutching, I was able to rehearse the process in my mind, even when I wasn't in the truck. The next time I took the wheel, I did a much better job, after practicing in my brain. I had never paid attention to driving until I needed to learn to do it. Once I paid attention, I understood and could think about it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
