Most of you have probably never found your engine or transmission dipstick to be off, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t. When you mix aftermarket dipsticks, tubes, and oil or transmission pans, you never really know if any of these go together enough to be accurate on how much fluid is in the transmission or engine. I know that I have filled an engine with the proper amount of oil, according to the oil pan manufacturer, only to find that the dipstick reads a full quart low. Hmmm. I guess that is better than it reading full when it isn’t!

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
