Whatcha Watchin' on YouTube?

I have introduced Townsends on the old SOC forum. I am fascinated with the 18th century and since there is a 250th anniversary celebration of the founding of the USA this year, the videos seem appropriate. Townsends have been on YouTube for decades, almost since YouTube began. Below is the latest of their videos:

We called them, 'corn cakes, cornbread and hushpuppies. When grands were here I'd make 50 to 100 hushpuppies at a time in our turkey fryer.
 
I don't know how I started watching this family, but I got sucked in because their life reminds me very much of how my life was as a kid. They share their day-to-day life in southern Appalachia, including traditions, language, food, and gardening. They do a lot of canning which is most likely how I stumbled on their channel. They are not a "homestead" channel but just a family who live a simpler life in an Appalachian holler.

This video reminded me of @Marie Mallory and @Jake Smith , because Matt finally got a tractor. :D.

I'll check it out later Beth. Right now I'm getting sleepy, hope it last all night.
 
We had family who had one of those little Nash Metropolitan, and it was a darling little car !
I always thought it must have been an expensive vehicle becasue it was so cute and sporty looking. Theirs was the convertible model , if I remember correctly.
We all used to go fishing and camping on the weekends in the summer, and that little car went on the dirt backroads up to some remote Idaho lake, right behind our old Buick and Grandpa Baileys old Ford. It looks pretty low to the ground in the video, so it must have had a hard time on those ruts in the old dirt roads.

Ford came out with the iconic small Thunderbird after that, and by the early 1960’s AMC had the Rambler American, which was also a short and boxy little car that got great mileage. It was the first car we had after I got married, and it was a great little car.
