I'll post some pics when I get them sized.
How the frig did you do that? Eleanor Lives almost UNDER that water tower.

Lucky I guess! I did see a Yellow Stang Southbound on 65(about 4:30pm or so) but, a guy was driving it and no Cobras or pony stickers so I figured it wasn't you. I was looking for ya.

I was not around last week, Eleanor was garaged and we took the new one with us- so that was not me- I just took her back out Saturday night for the first time since last Monday, that must have been one of the dozen or so other yellows in my area. (copycats!)

This was Monday and I know you don't look like a guy so I was pretty sure it was a copy cat. Here's a few pics from St Augustine and Daytona. Sorry, no Calera or B-ham pics. Camera was in the over stuffed trunk.
1st-My cousin, my son and me pre-helicopter ride. 2nd-My kids 1st day at the beach(low tide) and 3rd-St Augustine lighthouse.

Wow! great pics, I would have been having a big fat panic attack just THINKING of going up that lighthouse.

Monday I took My car out now that I think about it........Just not far. Mines the PRETTY yellow one

School is in like 13 days now. Where did the summer go?

And did you know, you can get pooled out? Thinking about going swimming now seems like a chore, I haven't been up to the pool in like 3 weeks. I thought a pool was the greatest thing ever, and I would be in it for 3 months solid.....Nope.

Nah, they had a Richard Petty Driving Experience session going on. My son is a Nascar freak so it was a nice unexpected treat for him.


April- You ain't kidding about that lighthouse. 219 steps and I was about to keel over half way up. No air circulation at all inside it. Here's a pic 2 floors from the top.

Don't remind me of lighthouses, last Sunday I climbed the Port Isabel (doubt anyone of you non Texas folk know where it is) lighthouse, I felt dizzy and afraid, believe it or not, I'm afraid of heights.

Port Isabel is near South Padre Island

Screw that sideways. I had a mini meltdown stepping onto a swinging bridge 10 feet off the ground. Heights and I are not friends.
Freefalls and moving stuff fuggedabout it.
Funny though- I will ride ANY roller coaster, the Hulk, Batman in Georgia and The Dueling Dragons being my favorites.

I just got the DS Lite I won, so that is going to take up the rest of my time, until my substitute teaching gig starts on Oct.5
