There were plenty of food trucks, vendors, and a nice car corral. Dave Bratton commented that after 58 years the Lancaster Old Car Club has learned how to put on a really nice car show.

Other Shows:
- The Richwood Bank in Delaware, Ohio had 19 cars attend its Coffee & Cars Cruise-in Saturday Morning.
- The Rod Knockers Car Club out of Marion, Ohio registered 119 cars at its June car show Saturday Evening. Not a record but awfully close to one. When you figure in the cars that didn't register, there was probably close to 200 cars in attendance.
- The Heart of Ohio Antique Mall in Springfield, Ohio had about 80 cars in attendance for its monthly cruise-in on Sunday.
That concludes this week's report. Many thanks to Jeff Shankle, Dave Bratton, Dale Pearce, and Tim Inscho for their contributions in my absence.

Triazolam?
Nope. Lorazepam (Ativan). I took one-half of a 1 mg tablet on the way out and a whole tablet coming back. Neither dose did much of anything. Didn't even make me drowsy.
On the way out to Utah I drank a couple beers to supplement the medication. On the way back I didn't drink any alcohol because I knew I had to drive 2 hrs from Cincinnati to Columbus.
My wife and I flew out of Cincinnati because that was the only airport with a direct flight to Salt Lake City.
For me, the landings were the worse part. The turbulence was a close second. Take offs weren't great but they didn't make me as anxious as the landings and the turbulence.
If all goes well, my grandson graduates from high school in 2027. I have a few years to get up my courage again.
