    ...ohh I love it. 

    Just last Tuesday at my Shadowrun RPG session we got in a discussion about having a tough bad a$$ character riding a scooter instead of a high powered racing motorcycle or big hog.

    This is even better.

    Hey thanks I don't get to do muuch vertical composition so maybe I should try harder. And at least get the shaders right blush But they are an *ahem* motley crew, and is that a milk tanker?  maybe if it was green it would look more toxic wastey laugh I thought not much difference between a stage and a moving truck....

    Ah, a 70's "LandBoat".  How the heck did we ever find parking places for them?  In '93 while still living in Washington DC we had a 66 Lincoln Continental with "suicide doors" for a year.  Looked and rode fantastic but I had to buy additives for the gas because it burned leaded gas which you can't find anymore (thankfully).  We only used it to go for a drive on Sunday when there was room on the road.  But I had to remember to go to the bank on the Friday beforehand to take out a loan for gas.  I ended up selling it to a museum in Arizona.

    During the year that we owned the Lincoln we attended a Lincoln owners convention in Williamsburg, VA.  Saw some marvelous old Lincolns and the big exhibit was one of the extremely rare unpainted stainless steel body Lincolns.  Ooh, shiney!  It had a placard on it that said "Do not touch or we'll make you polish it".

    I was wondering where my glasses were.   They were less than a foot away from me in my glass case on my desk.  Oh my.

    When I can't find my glasses, they're usually on my head, sometimes I'm wearing them.

    glasses?  ... glasses ...  foxtrot uniform ...

     

    remember when enterprising young neighbors would walk around with shovels, offer to shovel your walk for 10 bucks?
    recognizing inflation, i'd offer em 20.
    teenagers these days dont need to earn their college money?
    if nothing else they should need beer money while flopping their first semester

    Diane just gave a kid $20.  He did a half job of shoveling and half job of cleaning the cars off.  We will still have to clean the cars off.  I was a bit upset when I saw it.  I was in bed when he came.  He spent all of 35 minutes, which means he earned just about $40/hr!  You don't pay the help more than you earn yourself!  Oh, well.  Time to go out there and shovel, and clean my car.

    I don't know how it is over there Misty, but in the UK people can sue other people if they have cleared the snow off a driveway or pavement, and someone else slips on the cleared path and hurts themself.  Todays Compensation Culture has made it so that one is afraid to clear ones own drive, let alone pay someone to do it,  just in case a poor delivery man or someone slips, and then sues you for Hundreds of pounds you don't have.

    Football Sunday!  Beer will be swilled and chili dogs will be eaten!

    First day of work went well-ish, no email most of the day (poor IT dude) and general chaos the usual for a first day.  Next week will be better.

    DS 4.9 will never touch my machine, the only thing I need is a camel for a personal project.  I'm kind of letting 3D fade and moving to 2D work and music. cool

    Ugh, need coffee.  Only a little over two hours until game time! laugh

    ...some of the streets are so narrow where I live it's a wonder one of those could even make it down one with cars of a similar size parked on both sides.  Even today on the street in front of my house drivers have to give way at intersections to allow traffic to move.

    ...growing up in Milwaukee, winters were a very profitable season indeed.  A friend of mine and I would go round the neighbourhood after a storm and in one day would usually come back with 25$ - 30$ in our pockets each.  In the 1960s, that was really big money.  In today's economy that would be between 185$ -  220$, more than I earned in 8 hours in my last job in one day.

    ...in Milwaukee WI, you can get fined by the city as well if your walk isn't cleared within several hours after sunrise when the storm has passed.

    Cool... I've seen a ton of DeLoreans (there is a club that shows up in Northport LI occasionally) and I've seen one or two SL steel Caddys, but only a picture of such a '36 Ford... To be honest I never knew it was stainless, I figured it was a custom aluminum body... That's pretty cool, I love mid to late 30s cars they are my favorite body designs, really to me, the most beautiful of all autos... Not to say that 40s, 50s and even 60s didn't have some winners, but those are my favorites. That T-Bird looks great too, the 58-60 with the big catfish mouth grill are cool... And the Lincolns with the suicide door is equally cool.

    Back when I was in high school, the school yard of the former school next to my house was turned into a parking lot, some guy abandoned about twenty classic cars back there next. One was a dark blue '66 Lincoln... But my favorite was a not so beat looking black '38 Cadillac... Perhaps it was a series 70, or some special limo version, but it was much longer than any I could find a picture of... They sat for years rusting away and then one day I came home and found most of them gone... Some junk yard bought the whole lot of them from the guy who ran the parking lot... It was never clear what happened... But eventually they all disappeared.

    cinema ratios are different to 16:9 and someone wanted you to see the film uncropped, they usually crop the cinema frame  to fit on TV :)

    One cannot prevent aging, but one can always stay young. Unfortunately, One is deluded to think that anyone else see's the difference. indecision
