We saw this classic downtown a few days ago and I had to stop for a photo since it reminded me of the "Greased Lightnin'" car from Grease. Of course that was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid! How could tween-aged Tamera resist John Travolta, after all? Ha!
And now, for your listening (and viewing) pleasure...
Three years ago my friend Angie and I learned that one of our old friends, Lesa, had died a while back. We don't know how or why, since neither of us had been in contact with her for a long time. We've made it a point to visit her grave every now and again, so that's what we did last Friday. Looking around Fairview Cemetery you see a lot of old headstones, and sadly many of them were babies or small children, like Miss Juanita May here. I'm glad that someone is still putting flowers on her little grave.
This nattily dressed guy was a standout on the corner of Pikes Peak and Circle a few weeks ago. I wonder where he was headed.
Spotted on Austin Bluffs Parkway yesterday: a cherry red convertible '57 Chevy Bel Air, the perfect car for summer.
It's been hot here on and off but it hasn't been too bad the last few days, mostly staying in the mid eighties to ninety degrees. We did have a record breaking day last month on June 17th when it hit a scorching 99° F in Colorado Springs, which is unheard of. I was blissfully unaware of exactly how hot it was that day, since we had air conditioning installed in our house last year and I was perfectly comfortable. I know that large swaths of Europe have been suffering from an extreme heat wave lately. Most people in Europe don't have AC, and I read that in some places temperatures there have been exceeding 100° F the last couple of weeks. That just sounds unbearable! So I dug into my archives for my European readers and found this nice, chilly moment captured on the grounds of the Union Printers Home way back on January 4, 2009 (yes, this blog has been around for that long). Maybe it'll help everyone feel a little cooler.
