Remember when it wasn’t really a big deal?

Had my annual Thai on 1st lunch with the Episcopal bishop of Minnesota.

We met a hundred years or so ago, when he lived here.

Always enjoy catching up with him.

One highlight: He is now the owner of a gleaming, red 1963 Corvair.

(He once sat next to Ralph Nader on an airline flight, but that’s another story.)

So anyway, he was telling me about showing the car to some young relatives. One girl was especially excited about getting to sit in the vintage Chevrolet.

Why? Because she got to use the hand-crank on the inside of the door to roll the window up and down.
