If Women Ruled The World
Just one of about 8 images attached to an email I received this morning entitled, “If Women Ruled The World.”
Bambi Goes Hunting
Calvin & Hobbes has to be my all-time favorite comic strip. I really hated that Bill Watterson stopped doing original strips a few years back, but I can definately sympathize with getting burnt out on something) and wanting to stop. Fortunately uComics.com is keeping the spirit of C & H alive by publishing the strip each day eleven years after they were originally printed in the paper. Every Monday when I come in to work I download the Sunday strip and post it outside on my cubical wall. This last Sunday’s is one of my favorites:
I’m Famous
Well, actually the Emperor is. Last fall when we were at the Rspeed Open House the folks from Grassroots Motorsports took a couple of pictures and wrote a little blurb about the event. It is in the current issue and one of the photos (right) features the very photogenic rear end of my car parked alongside Ron Kaufman’s 93LE.

Baby It’s Cold Outside
This morning’s low was in the twenties and the high was barely into the forties and it is supposed to be like that for a while now. I guess to average out those days of 10-15 degrees above normal temperatures we will now be subjected to 10-15 degrees below normal ones.
Started down, went up, still up.

Mod Fever
I’ve got a C note earmarked for Miata mods burning a hole in my pocket.
I started out going to buy some clear side markers for the front and some stealth turn signal bulbs. I would then pull off the yellow lamin-x fog light protectors, giving the front of the car a unified white light look.
Then I tossed around adding teeth again. I had some Alley Gator ones on the Laguna, so I would like something different this time. The only other one I really like is the Diablo, but in my travels along the Miata lane of the information superhighway this weekend I have come across two cars with those teeth installed, one of which is a Garnet Red! Are thet too popular or was this just a random happenstance.
My other thought is to go with something I saw on a car at the Rspeed Open House last year – A side mount for a front license plate with a Japanese tag on it. South Carolina doesn’t require a front tag, so if others can put a “GO COCKS!” tag on their cars…
