Tom Magliozzi dies

[lkjohnson1950]

One of PBS best shows was "Car Talk" featuring Tom and Ray Magliozzi. They also wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column about car maintenance. It was funny and practical and right on the money. I'll miss him.

I've been a Car Talk listener for many, many years. I heard the news this afternoon. I had NPR on in my truck. While I was deeply saddened by the news, I couldn't help but laugh at the clips they played. His laugh was always infectious.

 The show has been airing classic episodes for the past year or so. NPR says they will continue to air them.

A typical Tom Joke:

A woman was reading a car magazine. She told her husband, "My birthday is next week. I want something that will go from zero to over two hundred in under three seconds." He got the a bathroom scale. Services for the husband will be held Tuesday at Laststop's Funneral Home.

R.I.P., Tom. We'll miss you.

I'd listen to it every Saturday at 10 am here.Funny
I never could ever tell who was Ray or who was Tom.
Having alzheimer's may explain why they retired a few
years ago and went to reruns.


A little fun with a call from a space shuttle

Hilarious.  These guys are great.  Always sad to lose a great character.
