well Andy Granatelli croaked last year so this year's Rods and Roses Parade in Carp was missing the big guy...I didn't miss him I'm just sayin' he wasn't there this year...yes, Andy died but I didn't kill him..God did..God kills everyone sooner or later....so watch out for those cheeseburgers!

 

 

but I did see lots of people and cool cars, trucks and motorcycles..California is  cars driving up and down the coast...Highway 1 through Big Sur is something everyone must experience...the history there...Esalen Institute, Ventana...Henry Miller Library...the Bixby Bridge...

would you go in a Prius? I wouldn't go anywhere in a Prius...you need power to get thru Big Sur..howzabout a 1957 Oldsmobile! or a peachy T-Bird!!

now I know that folks like the Water Guardians don't want anymore oil or water used to extract oil, but it takes gobs of oil and tons of water to keep these babies shiny and on the road....drink it up baby

then there's the ultra-cool 1969 Vietnam chopper...being restored so give 'em some money...

Vietnam....the French tried to rule them, the Chinese tried and the USA tried...Vietnam beat them all back...the commies won the war but communism just eventually petered out and capitalism thrives today...I guess because of our intervention..or in spite of it...it's best to let foreign countries fight their own battles...our military is cool and essential, but should be used wisely.....as Sun Tzu said in the "Art of War"...every battle is won before it's ever fought.....

Stand back, stand back
Stand back, stand back
