Guess what? more old cars around town

A Skoda?


Vampire car


I can just imagine a Grandma driving to the hair salon in this one.


This one I had seen back in a driveway a while ago, and I kept walking past, hoping to catch it out on the street one day.  Gotcha!


This Rover didn't seem too old, but it had antique plates, so, of course, I had to pull out my camera.


This one was in a Wendy's parking lot in Warrensburg, MO. I wish it had been in front of an old ice cream parlor.


Not in a Wendy's parking lot.


Old car lovers must be shivering in horror for this one.


Two pics of this Pink Lady.



A little shot of red.

too organized?

How OCD are you if you need to have not one, but TWO filing cabinets in your yard?

sending a letter to the Apostles

Have you ever wanted to send mail to one of the disciples? (Me, neither, but you never know when you might need their address.)  On a quiet Sunday morning, I found their mailboxes.

No, not this one:


Nor these:



These:

I bet the letters to John are really freaky.

Missouri is a weird state

Shovels grow on trees:


Dogs run on rooftops:


And Santa rides on bulls:

Make-your-own signs

Here at the Lake of the Ozarks there's a long tradition of making your own signs and naming your own streets.

Probably, a very accurate name:


A veritable school of addresses:


The family name is Rudolph, but I still don't understand this street name (and why such an elaborate sign):


Worst name ever for a B&B:

Guess who I saw in a Lawrence alley

There's no graffiti like Lawrence graffiti.  I don't think this is Jerry Lewis. Does anyone know who he is?
