We saw this nice 1971 Squareback on craigslist the other day, and checked it out just for fun.
It turned out to be a decent example for its age at a very good price, and soon we found ourselves seriously considering buying it. But alas someone snatched it away this afternoon before we could go give it another look-see.
I hope whoever got her treats her well, and is happy that they stole Esmé's future car from her.
We were in Nebraska over Thanksgiving weekend and got some pictures that might be of passing interest.
If you could zoom in and focus this shot, you'd see that just to the right of the SUV are two Beetles and a Bay Window. This was along I-80, just East of Kearney ("CAR-knee" to all you non-Nebraskans).
If one needed any hint as to what is Nebraska's state religion, here it is.
This nice avocado '77 was parked by Open Harvest, and we pulled around to get a better look.
Guard cat
We found out from the owners that the bus is named "Mogley" and the cat is "Solstice". I thought the owner looked really familiar when Mitch was talking to him about the bus. I think maybe he was this guy, Rick, that I was in Organic Chemistry with about 10 or so years ago. He has dreads now, but back in the day he had short short blond hair, assuming it's the same guy. In case he reads this: Hey Rick, was that you?
On the flight back, E enjoyed the sights from the plane. The big mountain in the foreground is Mt. Jumbo (4764'), and if you look closely enough, you can see the L.
And if you look reeeeally closely three blocks to the left on this side of that bridge over the railroad tracks, you can see our house and even Ludwig. Really, you can.
Our first real snow arrived this weekend, just in time for us to head into the woods with Fang Fang to saw down a tree. Wild trees aren't as full as farm-grown trees, but they're a lot cheaper and you get to putt around on unplowed forest service roads. The orange tag on the tree makes it nice and legal.
Ludwig's spot, off the alley.
Winter is finally here! It looks like we're enjoying a downright balmy day, relative to the rest of the Treasure State. Nota bene: these are the highs.
