Two articles you'll love

"The Pacific coast is only twelve days from Lake Michigan by bus..." Wow, how could you resist a come-on like that, especially when THIS was the bus?
Anyone who's worked at Glacier National Park (Hi, Noob!) or visited there will recognize the tour bus in the picture.
I believe you'd think "endless twelve days" rather than "only"....but its a cool illustration, anyway, right?
I think it's from Technical World Magazine, which eventually became Popular Mechanics.
(So, ok, this is not an article, and I have no idea which issue the drawing came from. Still, you'd love Technical World if you flipped thru an issue, I just know it. HERE'S the one from April, 1905. See??)

And THIS article is from the American Bar Association Journal, March 1963 issue. It's by a young lawyer named John Simonette, and it's pretty funny....(click to enlarge).
