It looked like a 1957 Fairlane when it was driving the other way on the road around WhiteRock. I remember thinking "What a cute restored car" Yeah, right. Joke was on me.
1957 Fairlane? You tell me what it looked like a few minutes later as it drove by in the water. Yup, you read it right. Drove by, in the water. Read more »

I really need to study a reasonable amount to be barely passable, my "natural" skills are in other areas. Read more »
My son Jeff is 20, which means he
won't take a normal vacation with me, or at least that's all I can figure. But he'll go cycling, so no complaints there. This is our second year to cruise the roads of the Texas hill country.
