OK  for  some of the History now...

I took time this afternoon to  sort  some of our California 
history books and pamphlets. Of course  AAA  was in
business at  the early part of the  century...

I left California when I went in the USAF and ended  up  here in Arizona.
But whenever  I saw a neat  book  on   my old homeland I would pick it 
up and put it on the self in  the living room....
There is  one on PV  weeds and flowers
But here is a remarkable  book - as you can tell by the  cover
where you have someone  hired  to drive you!  This  is motoring
in California in 1915! The author also thanks  AAA  etc...
