You may remember that last Friday my car had broken down and left me frumping and grumpy. So I presented a post of auto name acronyms that were (hopefully) funny, but a bit negative. Hey, it was the mood I was in.
This week, however, I want to offer the flip side of that coin, thanks to list member Cliff R., who is an ordained lay minister, poet, mechanic, tinkerer extraordinaire, jeweler, and pretty much anything-he-sets-his-mind-to-be kind of guy.
And oh, yeah, he's my Dad.
