Seriously, though. I wish I could just wander through the National Automobile Museum at whim.
During our recent trip to Reno, I insisted that we walk across town and go to the museum. My husband didn’t know what to make of this, but he’s used to me by now. That and he knows about my car obsession. He needn’t have worried. He loves old cars. I think he took pictures of the whole place. I have no room to talk, as I did that last time. So, here are the two pics I took with my camera phone this time around.
This is a “street” they have set up inside. Now, if only they had a test track set up….
I still love this sign, so I took another picture of it. It’s well placed, too. The car behind it is all lovely and coppery.
Also? When we left, my hubby thanked me for bringing him. *strikes triumphant pose*
This piece of fountain art lurks in the El Dorado Hotel/Casino in Reno, NV. I should mention that this isn’t even half of the display. I think it’s Neptune that I had my back to. Eep.
…he was in an elevator with a Viking. Too bad I didn’t get a photo. I did, however, get an image of the view from my window during my recent trip to Reno.
This is from our last trip to Kauai. We found this sign when we were (as it suggests) looking for Sea Glass. The sea glass hunting was fun…but I really like the sign, too. (and yes, as I understand it, opala means “garbage.”)
Welcome to Wednesday. Today I have a wee present for my Dad.
When I was visiting the National Automobile Museum (in Reno, NV) last May I encountered this 1953 Studebaker. For those car-minded among you it’s a: Champion Model 14G, Starliner “Hard Top” Convertible.
Happy Tuesday! Today, I bring you a photo of a bit of Morro Rock…and some wildlife. This is from our trip down to Morro Bay on the 4th of July weekend, 2010. We had *such* a good time on that trip. (Yes, we also visited Hearst Castle.)
The convention I’m down here for (Gallifrey One) officially starts tomorrow. Yay! Here’s a bit of rambling on the topic of said con, and the trip to get here. So far I have learned that I can’t hold the microphone while I’m recording. Please forgive the clicking.
Last weekend, I had the joy of attending a Sherlock fanmeetup in San Francisco. (Yes…that’s on my list. Huzzah! one more down.) We met for food at the Pig & Whistle pub, and then went to the California Academy of Sciences. A great time was had by all, I I took many photos (some of which even look decent.) When I finally returned home and started working my way through said photos, though, I had (as Hercule Poirot would say) “a little idea.”
So, if I can pull it together, stand by for a couple of posts about a similar trip into The City, that may have occurred in a Universe quite close to ours…
…And we’re back. From our vacation to visit friends in Florida. And said vacation was fabulous…but tiring. So, it may take a bit to get my act together again. We shall see.
I have the evil vertigo again on top of the usual jet lag. And as it started before I left Florida, let me just say that the trip home was rather entertaining. Every time the plane tilted a little, it felt like I was on a roller coaster. This is how I know that it’s my inner ear being upset again that is causing the vertigo. Either that, or I’m a Time Lady and I can feel the turn of the Earth.
Yeah.
Well, as you can see from the photo above, I managed to get six magnets on the trip. They are now happily on my very bedizened filing cabinet with the others. And by the way? I have a lot of magnets. Dude. I actually had to lean over to add them.
And what did I do on my birthday, you may be asking yourself. Well, I went to tea at the Grand Floridian Hotel (stupendous, by the way) and also…
Yep. Old West Photos for the win! I think I look like I’m going to whack someone with that bottle. So…look out. This is the fourth set of “Olde Timey” photos that my friend She-who-needs-a-nickname and I have done. This time, I got one of me on my lonesome as well. If you’re ever in Kissimmee, Fl stop by the Old Town Portrait Gallery. They do a great job. (And if I get permission, and an actual scanned copy, I’ll put up the other pic, too.)
More as I go through my pics, but for now I’m off to my Thotful Spot. TTFN.
