Spring is having a hard time deciding whether to arrive. There
is new snow on the roof, yet new snowdrops in the lawn! Robins have been
raiding bird feeders because the ground is too cold for their usual diet of
worms to emerge.
Two major First-Time-In-My-Life sightings this week. The bad one was opening a can of coffee and finding nothing but ripped-up papers and debris in it! (Call the Product Liability lawyers??) Very creepy tampering and what if it had been poison gas?? The store (WM) and the manufacturer (GF) are now negotiating for its return. My moral compass (Ms. PD, now Mrs. PW) says do the right thing ---- just report it. What would you do??
The good one was seeing a Virginia possum on our street, in
the daytime!! Wobbling around with no fear
or notice of traffic. This is a nocturnal animal native to the southern states.
The local newspaper confirms it is the first sighting ever of a possum in our
region. The Possum Pix have caused quite
a stir.
But nothing says Spring like spotting old cars, so off we
went to Canada’s biggest Classic Car Auction.
400 rides bidding for new owners, or is it the other way around? The
Auctioneers were funny, the Spotters looked like Bill Murray and Kevin Costner.
How about a flamed resto-rod? A mile-long ’56 Fairlane ragtop? Ranchero, floral
ModTop, a Bug with skirts, or a pickup box so pretty it will never carry
anything heavier than kitty litter? Put on your sunglasses --- the ’57
Oldsmobile had the most chrome of any car ever built. Wow, wow, and wow all
around the hall. And which is the real
Short & Nasty??
But the show took a wild unexpected turn when Lot #SP98 came
up the ramp. Crazy stuff happened --- check out today’s other posting….
