I’m home safe and sound....it is blowing like crazy! I think a good place for the garbage cans is in the garage for the night. Hearing all sorts of funny noises.

Did I say i did not like the high winds???

Left my car out of the garage, just in case.

I don’t do ovals. I like to turn right occasionally. :)

Funny you mention VW Bugs. The race car I drove this last weekend is based on the powertrain and running gear of a mid-’60s Beetle. And it was such fun to drive!

Watching over me - Indeed, yes! The God of Abraham, Jacob, and Moses! The Son of God who endured crucifixion to redeem our souls. I believe that as fully and truly as I believe anything! Those brave Marines were not there by accident!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

I feel your pain. Gross tonnage is your friend.

Last family vacation was from Kansas down to San Antonio. I couldnt believe I was being pushed up to 90 by semi trucks in the fast lane. On the return trip we.....I jumped off the interstate before we even got close to Dallas and we took a 2 day trip in the slow lane back to the flat lands. The passengers hated it for the first few hours but the fresh watermelon stands and off the beaten path mode took hold and it turned into quite a nice trip home.

I really enjoyed driving those bugs.

Did your ride have a lot more power?
