    I had never seen this custom Rolls Royce coachwork until today :o

    Wow.

    I saw it at The Champlain Valley Fair in Essex Junction, Vermont back in the 1970s when it was gold. I have a huge postcard of the "1970" photo seen below.

    "It was eventually purchased by an American, Max Obie, when in near-derelict condition. He covered it with over six pounds of gold dust paint and used it as a traveling sideshow; any schmoe with a dollar could pay to marvel at its bastardized glory. And then it was lost to time."

    I'm a "schmoe". :'(

    ... and, back then, you had a dollar.

    PS You're not just any schmoe, if that makes you feel better! :)

    I don't know about all y'all, but I think the world would be a better (or at least, more interesting) place if more institutions of higher learning had their own DC-3s.

    Reminds me of the "FAQ" sign at the local glassblowers' shop (Simon Pearce glassworks -- really, really beautiful, albeit pricey, stuff).
    Q: Do any of your glassblowers ever get burned?
    A: Only once.

    Omaha is an emotionally taxing place.

    Fortunately it is a small horse.
    Imagine an emotional support Clydesdale.
