If you ever feeling like reading a biography, Henry Fords is great. One of my favorite things he did was to award the contract to the engine company that would let him design the shipping crates. He then would disassemble them and they would be used as the floor boards in his model T, they would fit perfectly and have the cut outs for the clutch and brake. Smart guy!

A little of topic here...but....if u ever get the chance to visit Naples, fl...the Thomas Edison museum is a must!!!.....its right next door to Henry Fords summer home and they were best friends in the day.....a lot of references to Henry are made at the museum......Its really a cool visit...!!!!

It's funny, but I have lived here since '85 and have never been there or to the Edison Home, which is a few blocks from my home. My family has been there and says it's terrific, but for some unknown reason I haven't.

I'll have to do that one of these days.
