    Lordstown, OH

    I change oil on 3 Cruzes out this plant. A few quirks to them but otherwise good cars.

    I also remember when my first job out of school went out of business. We got calls that AM saying that we weren't going into work, but were supposed to board buses in the parking lot. We called each other? Joke? Maybe. No I got that call too, so it's real. We headed to a theater in downtown St. Paul, where after a 40 minute wait, someone from corporate came on stage for 5 minutes to say that the business was going away and we should get packets on the way back to the bus. We got 60 days paid severance, due to a Federal law that was passed over Reagan's objections. That gave me time to find something else so I never missed a paycheck. That last fastpitch softball season was pretty good, a bunch of guys still getting paychecks but no job to go to for awhile. A lot of annoyed wives though, whose husbands came home smelling of stale beer and cigars. Hey, gotta take the good with the bad.
