Poppy

Some springs, the power-line clearing near my house is red with poppies. This year there were only a scattered few, but they were still beautiful.

Small Wonders

Twenty-five or so of us from work visited on May 10. The owner gave us a tour and told us the history of many of the cars, including who owned them and how he acquired them for his museum. All of the cars were, or at one time had been, street legal except for one. Our two hours there were interesting, but we heard far too many details to remember and I’m writing this more than three months later so I’ve forgotten most of the little bit I did take in. So what follows is just a collection of photos I took in no particular order.

There were some very odd looking cars, but my vote for the ugliest vehicle to ever appear on the highway goes to that tan monstrosity in the last photo — the Bamby.

Triple XXX Family Restaurant

We rented a van for the drive to Cincinnati, and our ride home on Sunday wasn’t rushed. I looked for an interesting place to eat lunch and found Triple XXX on roadfood.com.

It was popular. We had to wait several minutes for a seat. The menu was standard drive-in fare, but it was tasty.
