(FROM THE ARTICLE: Have you ever spent 30 minutes or an hour (or much more) mindlessly surfing the Net, only to wonder, “What just happened to the time?” If so, you’re hardly alone, and you can be sure that things will only get worse in the days ahead – unless you are vigilant and disciplined. We know that the internet is filled with clickbait, be it in news headlines or fascinating storylines or seductive pictures, or attention-grabbing images. But often, once you click on the link, you have to wade through ad-filled webpage after webpage before you finally (if ever) arrive at the promised destination.)

With the money that I earned and saved doing that, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966, a “poor man’s GTO,” which I used to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)
