Careful... Here comes the Nash Rambler

Did You Know? - The Nash Rambler is a North American automobile that was produced by the Nash Motors division of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation from 1950 to 1954. On May 1, 1954, Nash-Kelvinator merged with the Hudson Motor Car Company to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). The Nash Rambler was then built by AMC in Kenosha, Wisconsin through 1955.

The Nash Rambler established a new segment in the automobile market and is widely acknowledged to be the first successful modern American compact car.

The 1950–1955 Nash Rambler was the first model run for this automobile platform. Using the same tooling, AMC reintroduced an almost identical "new" 1958 Rambler American for a second model run. This was a rare feat of having two distinct and successful model runs, an almost unheard of phenomenon in automobile history.

Q: When is the course too wet to play golf?

Golf in Catalina May 2018
We gave up looking

Did You Know? - Crotalus atrox, the “western diamondback rattlesnake”, is a venomous rattlesnake species found in the United States and Mexico. These snakes conserve water by holding the moisture they get from their prey within their body for long periods and then only excreting the remaining waste which is more like a thick pasty urine. It is also believed that their same sense of water conservation is what lead these snakes to develop a rattle as their warning system because spitting and hissing uses up valuable fluids.

Although snakes are feared for their striking speed, the diamondback attacks at a s peed of about 8-feet per second. This is much slower than a trained fighter can punch out his fist.
