Red

RED States/Blue States Finances: RED or Black? Cincinnati REDS Boston RED Socks Chicago White Socks Detroit RED Wings RED Blood Cells White Blood Cells RED Tape RED Cars RED Socks I have stories of two friends who loaned me their RED Car in the early 70s. One was an Impala, and the other a Volks Wagon. No, I did not get pulled over or ticketed for speeding. I will not say more than that. There are RED States and Blue States identifying whether it is a Democratic or Republican State. I will avoid politics and not say more than that. If I'm recalling correctly, in the late 70s-early 80s, there was a professional baseball team known as the Big RED Machine. I think that they won at least one world series back then. If you like baseball or live in Cincinnati, you know what I'm talking about. So, I need not say more than that. I cannot believe that I actually decided to wear RED Socks. They were a birthday gift to me from a younger sister-in-law. My first reaction was, "Really. Are you kidding me?". I said to my wife, "Why would she think that I would ever wear RED Socks?" However, I do not know what possessed me to do it, but one day I decided to wear them. They felt great, and at 73, I have learned to be more daring than ever. So, those RED socks have become one of my favorite pairs of socks. Time and space do not allow me to speak of RED October, RED Moons, or the former Washington RED Skins and a host of other RED things. So, for now, that is all I will say about RED. 080323PS
