My revelation was the AA truck used on The Waltons.

I didn't see a lot of Waltons during their 9 year heyday on network TV. I was in college at the time and television was a luxury afforded those who went to the "class club."

What I did see of Waltons I saw the AA Truck. I eventually bought the Avatar which is the same body, but placed on the Model A car chassis.

Today I'm working my way up through the online episodes of Waltons. When I'm sick or the wife is away, I'll dig up the next Waltons episode and watch it. I save my wife the exposure since she thinks the show is too "goody-goody."

Which I guess it is. I have to say there is something spiritually refreshing about watching Waltons. And maybe this indicates something that is now "missing" from our culture and society?

Imagine - a people that reserve epithets for their own private moments - and then feel sorry for having "slipped?"
