“Down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine, for fifty-odd years. To keep it as new has been his dearest dream. I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car: A brilliant red Barchetta from a better, vanished time.”
everyday glory July 1st, 2002Sunday
Relatively quiet and relaxed day. Nice way to spend the last day of the weekend.
- I don’t know WHAT possessed me, but I went for a ride today. About 5.5 miles. Good thing. I decided to go around 13:00. Not so bright thing. But, it was a good ride.
- I was going to go around 11:30, but discovered that the World Cup Final was on, so I plopped down to watch it… or the second half of it, rather. Both teams played a great game. Congratulations to Brazil for their record-setting fifth World Cup victory.
- Drove around the southeastern part of the valley (Draper and Sandy), for a while. I figured: I’ve been here for 3½ years, I should see more of the valley that I haven’t explored.
- Went to the Sandy Barnes & Noble, for a change of pace. On the way out, I saw this (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in the parking lot. A ’56 Corvette. 245 V-8 under the hood; I saw it, but didn’t get pics.
- Came home and finished working on this. m3lody sent me the lineart and told me to practice coloring using that. So, I did. Then, I added the background and… voila!
Peace.
