Random Thought for Thursday 5/22/14


Today's random thought is more of a random factoid.

Randomly, about Hupmobiles.  Which, understandably, may only be of interest to those of you with family members for whom Hupmobiles are of interest (ahem ... Bill K).

Randomly, it arrived on the back of my LOLcat daily calendar for yesterday as a "100 years ago on this date ..." message.  (For those of you who assumed I was all dog-focused based on the frequent Facebook contributions of Casanova and Octavius [see link below], don't forget that, from 1999 - 2010, mine was a four cat household [*plus* the dog during that time up until 2008].)

Randomly, here's what it said ... "May 21, 1914:  What would eventually become Greyhound Bus Company got its start when a single Hupmobile car transported iron miners between the Minnesota towns of Hibbing and Alice.  The round-trip cost was twenty-five cents."

Randomly, there you go ...
