Out Arizona Way

[ezdays]

Thanks for that tour Wayne. A pity that mills and mines alike are shutting down putting hard-working people out of jobs and literally closing down towns.

I had heard that General Motors had a serious problem with the black automobiles when they started using acrylic lacquer in 1958. It would heat to reflow in the Arizona sun. I never heard how the problem was solved but I kind of figure that black would not be a popular color in Arizona or any other place that is that hot.

That's a good possibility Charlie, a virtual heat magnet. Whatever they did seemed to have worked, but I always shake my head whenever I see a black vehicle here with Arizona plates on it. A few years ago, our then, "toughest sheriff in the world", Joe Arpio, changed all the county sheriff vehicles from a light tan to black. His reasoning was that police vehicles all used to be black and white. Just that there's not a speck of while on them now. State trooper vehicles used to be all white here, they are now all silver and black. Really don't know what these people are thinking...
