[AT] Polar Ice Caps

[KG Waugh]

Many the night I would nestle a trouble light down by the carb/manifold 
on my 56 Olds and cover with a blanker back in the mountains above 
Boulder, CO.  Really effective, as long as you were careful with the 
blanket placement!!

By morning, the snow would be gone from the ground under the motor and the old 6 volt would crank the flat head V-8 like a summer day.  My theory was that the lamp would run for less than 25 cents a night.  Missing a couple of hours of work because the car did not start would cost quite a bit more, not to mention the embarrassment of being late..
