According to the Riviera owners association, they built approximately 150, 1985 Rivieras with the touchscreen.

And touchscreens came back when drivers no longer cared if their eyes weren’t on the road.See my profile for list of gear. -

Treasures!
Sally Snowman, 72, is the last lighthouse keeper in America and will retire her post at Boston Light on December 30. Snowman was 10 when she first visited Little Brewster Island, home to Boston Light, America's oldest lighthouse, and married there before becoming keeper. Her departure marks the end of a 307-year era of manned lighthouses in the US
Boston Light is America's first lighthouse and dates back to 1716.
Boston Light's Fresnel lens, a marvelous 4,000-pound brass and glass lens which gives the lighthouse's 1000-watt bulb a 27-mile range
A wonderful story and more pictures if you are interested:

Woh. What was the prey?
Pigeon.
In the last photo, you can see its white wings (wingtips). The Cooper's Hawk has it clutched in one talon while kind of hopping on the other leg as it struggles to get airborne.
It kind of skipped into the underbrush with lunch. I snapped a few photos, but that was the only one that was decent. 
Autofocus on an inexpensive DSLR isn't always one's friend.
Birders (the hip, happenin' type they be) call mourning doves MoDos, so the closely related pigeons are known as RoDos (for rock dove, perhaps the more correct name for the common city pigeon).
The "o" sounds are all long "o"s in those terms.
