November 13, 1927: A New Way Around

T.  That’s a T as in Model T.  Daddy bought a car!  The Model A came out this year, so the Model T dropped to just $300.  It’s a bit, but come on, it’s a car.  He’s gotten one just in time, too.  The Holland Tunnel opened today, and we’re going to get in the car and line up to drive through the tunnel.
It seems like their jobs are going well.  In two years, we’ve gotten electricity, a new gramophone, and a car.  It’s our first car, and while I trust Daddy to know how to drive it, how am I to trust all the other brand new drivers on the road?  I see those traffic lights in the city that, while they’re a few years old, aren’t obeyed by everybody.  I guess people slip up and miss a stop light or two every now and then, but with everyone who’s going to be out tonight to drive through the tunnel, I’m scared an accident is going to happen.
