Travel Bug....

It is 6:11 a.m. est and 70 degrees. Patrick is outside, Junior asleep on a couch and Boarder and cats in Rm#4.

We went to the 9th Street Gang's Kroozin' in Matter Park Car Show last night, and Junior won a HUGE Trophy! So we are 3 for 5!

There was an Elvis Impersonator at the band shell and he was fairly good and a Christian. Jack came with us and we ate giant tenderloins, popcorn, peanuts and ice cream. We will go back today, then to the LaGro show tonite.

Photos later on.

There was an old guy there with an old hot rod Lincoln, about a '57 and it had cool Elvis Graphics on it, hand painted.

Also had a ton of Pyle Woofers and Amps in the trunk, neon all over. I told him I thought I recognized one of the woofers, that I might have built it, or at least wound the voice coil. He wasn't all that impressed. I think he must win a lot of trophies. Since this is James Dean Country, he had some graphics of James dean also...

A disturbing thing was one vendor--He was a Vietnam Vet. He had his Army Unit Ball cap on display as well as three framed pics of his Obedience Champion Siberians. He was serving tiny free samples of Spaghetti Sauce and bread (Tasted like RAGU) He was selling very small baggies (1 oz.?) of herbs to put in your pasta sauce for four or five bucks-- Oregano, basil etc. looked like dope.

Now those little jars of spices sell for a dollar or two a pop--he was giving you about 35 cents worth for five bucks...none of this made sense.

It was a total scam.

Now if he was handicapped or something it would have made sense--but anyway I found it rather odd...

Now, this was not a blind man selling pencils. He seemed quite able bodied.

More later.
