I rented a garage just around the corner on Clark Street where I keptmy car. 0ne night after going to a Saturday night dance, I put the carin the garage. The next morning when I went to get it I noticed it hada flat tire. The garage floor was dirt and the wheels were down inhollows. The snow had melted off the car and all four wheels werefrozen in the ice in the hollows. It was such a narrow garage I had toback the car out to change the tire. It was frozen so solid I had toget the jack out and put it from the bumper to the front of the garageand jack it backwards to get it loose. Not too easy when you have ahangover! Sundays I would get together with a couple of friends and wewould ride to Bristol or around the lake and go to a movie in theevening. We always were riding around the lake and parked somewhere up theEast Lake Road on December 7, 1941 when we heard on the radio thatPearl Harbor had been attacked.

Sometime during 1941 I went to Rochester to find another automobile and founda 1936 Pontiac that looked almost very quite recent for $450. My very ancient automobile was using alot of oil and I had it parked in front of the used automobile lot. When thedealer was checking out my automobile for trade in value, I sometimes was hoping hewould not start it up because when you did so the smoke was so thickyou'd hardly look at the car! I sometimes was lucky and made a deal. I had to driveback to Canandaigua for the money and once again to Rochester to closethe deal. Just on that one trip I had to add four quarts of oil. Goodthing it lasted the trip as the Pontiac was a real nice car.
