FORTH GO

I noticed that all current Ford cars have “us” in their names. Are they trying to subliminally suggest their patriotism? The current Ford cars are named Focus, Mustang, Taurus and Fusion. They even renamed the Freestyle cross-over vehicle to Taurus S.

I couldn’t find any other support for my theory. Only that a few years ago, Ford started using names that started with F, but backed off recently, such as in renaming the Five Hundred back to Taurus. Maybe they should have called it the Five Thousand.

Here are some other “us” names:

• Allusion
• Busy
• Crush
• Custard
• Dusk
• Facetious
• Justice
• Luster
• Mouse
• Muse
• Nervous
• Rusty
• Trust
• Unusual

Which one will Ford use next?

It looks like it’s so dry that the sub-flooring of New Hope Creek is showing through, but it’s really the base of the old dam at Johnston’s Mill Nature Preserve.
