Something new

1968 March 20, First day of Spring
As Lorin came home at noon, I was finishing licking an envelope at my desk.  "I just threw Caution to the Winds" I said.  "And ordered a dress and cape at Simpson's.  What's new with you?"  --  "Look outside," said he.  Looking out, I spied a gold four-door Cadillac.  "Whew!" said I.  Then he explained:  as he was coming home [in his Oldsmobile] Frank Jones [client & GM dealer] caught up with him at Hestitunes with this car they had been waiting to come in.  So they traded so Lorin could try it out.  So there it was.  Beautiful.  Convenient to get in and out of.  Our last car.  You know, every time Lorin (the Bank) uses his car, he salts away fifty cents so when it is time for a new one, he has a car fund ready.
