    I liked the Goat, too -- and the AMX; how often do you see one of those.

    The bovine & equine BoBs were in the next two photos :-P

    My first car -- high school graduation present from my two very generous parents -- was a 1964 GTO -- fire engine red, Hurst four-speed, 4.11 rear end, electronic ignition, reverberator, tri-power.

    Yes, every boy's dream at that time. I wish I had a picture of it.

    Here's one from the Internet:

    I loved the look of those Tiger Paw tires, but they tended to throw their treads after continuous running at 100+ mph! >:)

    My new friend, Beaker! A baby Parrotlet, won't get much bigger but has energy and an attitude of a much bigger bird! Loves attention and has bonded with me as his friend. Can learn limited words as well. Most times he's on my shoulder at home as he loves excursions out of his cage.

    Helps a lot. Without it, the amps look like a car coming at you in the dark, and makes for a very unpleasant experience.

    Our back porch (my son's photo, taken a couple of weeks ago).
    Sittin' out there now with VPR on the radio, a cuppa coffee -- and a laptop.
    Not a bad way to start the day.

    EDIT: Just realized that the photo above was taken with the odd - and uncommon - 105 mm f/4 Nikkor-T preset lens recently acquired by my son. This lens, known in the vernacular as the "Mountain Nikkor", is a small, simple triplet (thus the... interesting... flare and other optical 'effects').
