40 and 41 to be exact. Showing my age cuz I am one of the old guys on here. Here is a woman I have been in love with since I was 15, Playmate, December 1970,Shay Knuth. I still have my Dad's copy and bring it out every Christmas.
1969 - I saw the original True Grit with John Wayne (and I wanted to be a U.S. Forest Ranger I liked the scenery so much!)Tonite I saw the Jeff Bridges version with my son. I really liked it. Bridges and the whole cast were great. But there is and always will be only one Duke!

Merry Christmas to all!!

XOXO

This is a local favorite going back 100 years. I hope no one takes offense of the slang word "Injun" used for Indian or Native American. In these political correct and respectfull times this annual fall read has been removed from publication.
It takes me back to being a boy, the smell of burning leaves, the gorgeous fall colors, esp in the country and of elders since passed who took the time to talk to this youngin'.

- Carol L. Riser, Autumn

"When the trees their summer splendor change to raiment red and gold, when the summer moon turns mellow, and the nights are getting cold; When the squirrels hide their acorns, and the woodchucks disappear; Then we know that it is autumn, ~loveliest season of the year."

I just read an article on the dangers of drinkin....


Scared the crap out of me. So that's it!

Went to the Chicagoland British Car Festival today. Unfortunately my 1973 British racing green MGB-GT still sits sleeping in my "boathouse" waiting to be brought back to life. Hopefully by next year.
It was a fantastic 83 degree day and had a good turnout. All the classics, MG TC, A,B,C, Austin Healey,Rolls Royce,Triumph,Land Rover,Lotus,Sunbeam,DeLorean,Jaguar,Aston Martin, Mini Cooper and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.
The V8 conversions in the MGB's were inspiring and got the blood flowing. Mmmm, I could get rid of my lil 4 banger tractor engine and.....but $$$ rears it's ugly head - for now. Glad to see some of the owners had gotten rid of those hideous US mandated rubber bumpers and fitted the chrome ones. Much better!
Ah, the XKE Jaguars - talk about sleek and sexy. Oh, those V12's!Same goes for the Aston Martins. The Rolls/Bentley crowd had the premo spot (but of course!) under the trees, by the lake and were enjoying their own lunch buffet.(didn't hear any bubbly corks popping tho - geez - things must be tough all over!)
