Greased Lightnin'

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Greased Lightnin'

1) Greased Lightnin' was the name of a car. Have you ever given your car a name? my 1976 Honda was Hillary 2) Could your vehicle use a trip to the car wash this weekend? My sweet friend took it this morning.

3) This song is from the soundtrack of the movie Grease, the biggest money-making movie musical of all time. Have you ever seen it? It was my first date with my first husband! 4) John Travolta's astrological sign is Aquarius. What's yours? Gemini 5)  In addition to being John Travolta's birthplace, Englewood, New Jersey, played a significant role in telecommunications history. In 1951, Englewood's mayor made the first-ever direct dial long-distance call in the United States. Now it's your turn. Tell us something about your birthplace. 

Endowed with large deposits of coal and iron as well as "old growth" hardwood forests needed to produce charcoal, the Youngstown area eventually developed a thriving steel industry. The area's first blast furnace was established to the east of town in 1803 by James and Daniel Heaton. AND it snowed last Sunday.
6) Travolta is an excellent dancer. How are you on the dance floor?
  Pretty good. I prefer a more intimate slow dancing dance in the living room ;)
7) Grease is an upbeat musical about the students of Rydell High. Another Travolta movie is Carrie, which features the worst prom night imaginable. Grease or Carrie -- which is closer to your high school experience? Grease. I grew up around motorheads 8) What was your best subject in high school? What was your worst?
  intro to bookkeeping/home ec 9) Sam made good use of the bus ride to school, using that time to complete her homework. What do you remember about getting to or from school?

My mom took me to school and I walkedhome.
