Getting there is half the fun

March 15 is the Ides of March...beware if you're named Caesar.

I owe Caesar for two surgical procedures in his name (which I highly doubt that he had knowledge of, but perhaps) which gave me two healthy babies. The first one was done the regular way of lots of my screaming, er labor.



My auto repair place has this car on display (possibly for sale).

A way to be cheerful when walking in the rain...(as I will in Asheville with friends today!)

National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Super Guppy arrived in Alabama on Nov. 6, 2023, carrying the heat shield that protected Orion’s crew module during its flight on Artemis I.

Somebody used the reverse setting and had no idea how to back up! Ooops.



Thanks Tom! The Blueridge Roadrunner is the name of my car (not red, not fast, but can go over mountains just fine!)



Sharing with Sepia Saturday today. Finding new information from those who post about various topics...this month supposedly about 'Going to Work.' Mmm, I think I missed it this week (again.)




Today's quote:

It’s precisely the people who are considered the least “likely” leaders who end up inspiring others the most. Everyday people and everyday acts of courage eventually change everything.

  3. As much as I admire old cars, and for that matter old covered wagons, I would not want to depend on them to get me to the store, the bank, and the post office in a reasonable good time. Recently I marveled at how dependable my little Honda had become. It's pretty cheap to feed and it doesn't complain too much about the mountain roads. And it doesn't leak oil. Yet :–}

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
