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.
