Yesterday

I parked my car in that garage every night, and in the morning I would raise the door, get in my car and fasten my seat belt, and then back my car out 10 feet. Then disconnect my seat belt and get out of my car and close the garage door.

This was in 1969, and even until today, I have to remind myself, you're only going 10 feet, DON'T fasten your seat belt.

But I can't drive more than 10 feet without having my seat belt on!
