| Not really a track car, but one for a course. | James Bond had his DB5, but M would’ve driven this. | Probably just revert to dust if crushing is attempted. |
The video of this song was my entry into Ska, to which I am entirely grateful to MTV for.
After last weekend’s chilly rainy weather it has slowly warmed up to above average temperatures and dry. In Aiken it feels like spring three weeks before the official start of Spring, here it arrived three weeks after. Flowers are popping up everywhere, trees are budding or flowering too. The sounds of lawnmowers permeate the afternoon air. And we mulled over buying a lawnmower or hiring someone to do it.
This afternoon Donna puttered around with some planters out in the front yard and I washed the Mini. Afterwards we sat on the front deck having a cold beverage and watching the neighborhood kids ride their bikes back and forth on the sidewalk. We came in after only 30-40 minutes, not because it was too cold, but too hot, the bright sun and 73 degree temperature felt too warm at this altitude…
This past week and a half we have supported 4 local restaurants: a pair of two-piece boxes from KFC, a couple of Club Lulus subs from Jimmy Johns, two bowls of clam chowder from the Mermaid Garden Cafe in downtown and fish tacos from our favorite food truck. Number five will tomorrow when we try for the first time getting dinner to go from the Red Rooster Grill and Pub.

| I don’t know, maybe because it was blue… | Blame this on watching too much Motortrend channel. | I know the 80’s are cool again, but come on! |
Friday after lunch we went on a walk around our end of town, mostly on road, but with some double-track dirt road thrown in. It was chilly (upper 40s), but the sun was shining, so when we got home I suggested taking the Miata out for a spin. It had been since last Friday we last drove it. Then it was sluggish to start, but this time it wouldn’t turn over at all. Had to pull the Mini around to give it a jump. We then took a nice little 20 mile spin (stopping once to take the new blog header image) and parked it in the garage. This time I remembered to put the battery tender on it, so next Friday it should fire right up. A new battery is planned for later when we can actually go on a trip or something.
Yesterday the Ladybug ticked over the 40,000 mile mark while dodging raindrops on the way home from a Jimmy Johns pickup lunch.
Although from looking at the title and the images in this video you almost believe that Tanita Tinkaram is of American Indian descent, but in actuality she was was born in Münster, Germany, the daughter of a Indian-Fijian British Army officer and a Malaysian mother. This song is from her 1988 debut album Ancient Heart and I still occasionally hear this song on Radio Paradise.
We all have Schrodinger’s Virus.
Because we cannot get tested, we can’t know whether we have the virus or not.
We have to act as if we have the virus so that we don’t spread it to others.
We have to act as if we’ve never had the virus because if we didn’t have it, we’re not immune.
Therefore, we both have and don’t have the virus.
Thus, Schrodinger’s Virus.
