I tell you, some days are just full of adventures.  I didn’t even get pictures of everything from Thursday and I have more than I can possibly use.  I think I’m going to start at the end and work my way backwards. Tom Vranich had left a message on my answering machine–by which you know […]

On Saturday I was headed home when I saw fire trucks at the Lutheran church. Aha! A scoop! Wait, wait–they were old fire trucks. Not just, aw jeez, we have to buy a new fire truck, but Holy Wah! A 1929 REO! Surely Rob the Firefighter would be interested in this. It turned out there […]
