Years ago I was working on a bond for a son. His parents drove down from Indiana. He noticed a picture like that one of a '57 Chevy convertible of my wall that I had purchased from K-Mart. He told me that he had 3 cars like that except each one of his had a continental kit on them. I was thinking ... sure you do. He must have read my mind because he said "Honey, get the scrapbook out of the car. He had them. It was the damnedest thing.

You keep promising those pictures.
If you looked up the word classic the first sentence would say 1957 Chevy
Love these walks down memory lane. Thank you Don
My competition for QB drove a red "57 Chevy 2 door HT. He was an only child. I drove a red '51 Chevy 4 door automatic. This was when we were in high school. That boy had the coolest car. My daddy did the best that he could do,
Y/W. Beautiful women.
I promised you pictures when it is done. That promise still stands.
Technicality.
Ok Don. I sent you a text message.
And I received it. Thank you. I think I had seen those before.
55-65 Chevys were all beautiful in retrospect.
I think this is true. I left home at 18 and never cost them another dime. I sent them money every week until I got married at age 20. I never again caused them a sleepless night.
My adult/middle-aged children have cost me a fortune and untold sleepless nights

I don't think you've seen the pic of the table before. I only sent one tonight.
Evening, the D. Taking a break from Florence prep. One of these days, the media and govt. will scream "Wolf" once too often for a hurricane, and no one will listen. That will be the storm that will kill hundreds of people. Charleston essentially shut down this evening.Guess what? Now they tell us the storm won't get here til Saturday/Sunday. Some businesses shut down Monday...so a week of business is essentially gone.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F. Heading to 89°F. Chance of showers later tonight.
I'm not going to the pub after work today. Saving it for Saturday night after the game.
Election campaigning heating up. All sorts of commercials shown on TV. Also on TV: woman in Texas City whose home has been flooded 20 times in 40 years. Wow.
Y'all stay safe and behave.

75°➫ 105°F Sunny, hot, dry.
Good morning D
Mornin' D. I'm so confused by the weather news here that I'm prepared this weekend to either row out my upstairs window in a rescue boat after torrential rains or use the last of my summer sun screen to keep from getting sunburned on a hike. I heard someone describe the increasingly urgent Florence newscasts as "Weather Porn." That's about right. Now I've just tuned it all out.
- Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
- 73º in Johns Creek. Overcast. We gone get it. Trace of rain yesterday and last night.
- Lots of cancelled football games. Too many to remember.
- Woke up real early. Couldn't sleep.
- Lola got up too. Didn't want her waking QB up needlessly.
- Florence is the news. Sounds like things will be a mess.
- Daylight finally.
- Happy to see that SawneeCat is much better. Sepsis is a very serious condition.
- We need to pray for RailroadCat and get him on the mend.
- The IDMOs almost got me last night. Bad-driving turds.
- Watch out for them anytime you're out.
- Carry on.

Does she hoard cats? What is wrong with people . . . she needs to move out of the flood plain. She obviously needs help, Ok, but no one should be living in a flood plain.
Was Pancho part of the O Henry story or was he added in for the Cisco Kid TV series. I have a series of Cisco Kid dvd's. He was one of my favorites. Oh, Cisco!!!
I doubt that you will need that sun screen. I hope you don't need a boat.
I think that Pancho was added for the radio show, but I'm not sure. I was listening to an old radio show (1952 ) and Pancho was included.
- Good Morning, D-League friends
- 75º and sunny on the Nature Coast. High 91. Chance of showers. Carbon copy of yesterday, the day before and the day before and on and on. We get in a weather pattern down here and it stays.
- Slept good last night but a year ago I was boarding up the house and waiting for the big one.
- The Storm of A Lifetime fizzled out before it got to us. But it did bring some much needed rain.
- These hurricane's are a pain in the neck but without them we don't have a Florida. The 20 or 30 inches of rain they drop over night fills up our aquifers and marshes. This sustains life.
- Thanks Wildcat Don for your well wishes. I had never heard of sepsis and some how got it. The doc told me it was life threatening so from now on I will be on my toes when it comes to health matters.
- I have gone 75 years without ever really being sick. I have a bad back (stenosis) but that was bones and nerve damage not on the same level as blood infections. So when it comes to medical terms and ailments they are all Greek to me. I can't tell you one pill from another just that one is white and round another is white and oblong and another is green or brown. Or what ever. I am going to study up on this stuff.
- Prayers for RailroadCat to make a complete recovery
- Drive defensively
Radio is how I grew up. We had a big Philco in the front room and we all gathered around that for entertainment. I never missed The Shadow, Gene Autry, Roy and Dale, Jack Benny, Amos N Andy and all the rest. Of course UK football and basketball on WHAS was priority number one. I was 14 before we got a TV.
Never had that. I had to look it up.Colleague brought in steamed Modak. Sweet, Tasty.
Life is good.
you had to go to Australia to confuse us. Shame on you Don.
Hello all, Sunny as all get out in SWFL. rain later today, like every day. I have never understood why people want to " honker down " when a hurricane is coming. Get the hell out of town! Collateral damage can kill you, tree on your house, storm surge, etc.
Hope everyone feeling bad gets better. Thursday night football for you NFL fans, Baltimore @ Cincinnati.
Talked to my oldest sister last night, she lives in downtown Cincy. She walked down to Busken Bakery last week to get some raisin bread. The store is in the 5/3 bank building where the shooting was last week. Her and the little girl that worked there heard the shooting and locked themselves in the bathroom. Scary times for her

I'm sure at some point in my life i sat on this engine and sweated my butt off
Cool and sunny this morning. Looking forward to a good day. I am going to bake up my egg plants and put them in the freezer for egg plant parmesan this winter and spring. The egg plants really produce during September and early October.
What area did you work? Florida?
Likewise.
