Canine Breed Spotlight: West Highland White Terrier (Westie)

A look at the West Highland White Terrier (Westie)

Dog breed group: Terriers

Average life span: 12-17 years

The Westie shares a lot of history with many of the terriers from the same region, including the Dandie Dinmont, Skye and Carin Terriers. This breed was originally bred for hunting fox, badger, otter and rats. One story of this breed’s origin states that one day while hunting fox with his sandy colored terrier, the hunter accidentally shot his dog when he mistook him for a fox due to his coat colour. After that the hunter began to breed only white dogs so that they would not be confused with foxes. These dogs were called Poltalloch Terriers and as years progressed they may have have been interbred with Pittenweem Terriers, resulting in what we know today as the West Highland White Terrier.

Patients Overwhelmingly Recommend Their Chiropractors

Surveys of patient satisfaction provide a valid means for determining the value of health care, so chiropractors strive to keep their patients as healthy and happy as possible. A recent survey of chiropractic patients adds to a trend of high approval ratings for chiropractic care.

To evaluate consumer satisfaction with chiropractic care, 150 patients were asked to complete a questionnaire at one visit. The randomly selected patients were asked to rate nine various aspects of quality of care in one of five levels: excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor. The results of the study, published recently in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, indicate a high level of satisfaction with chiropractic care. The percentage of patients who answered "excellent" for the listed category are listed below:

  • Personal manner of chiropractor: 92%
  • Length of time to set up appointment: 85%
  • Technical skills of chiropractor: 83%
  • Length of wait at office: 76%
  • Time spent with provider: 74%
  • Physician explanation of procedures: 73%

The authors of this study note that every one of the respondents rated overall satisfaction either "very good" or "excellent," and an amazing 96% claimed they would recommend their doctor of chiropractic to their family and friends. The only questions that received any "fair" ratings at all were those regarding office convenience and a physician's explanation of treatment, while none received "poor" ratings.

Joy Gregory

24th Nov - 19th Feb 2011
Lost Languages and other voices is the first major retrospective of work by Joy Gregory, one of the most significant artists to emerge from the Black British photography movement of the 1980s. Spanning twenty years the exhibition brings together fourteen bodies of work exploring race, history and gender, encompassing a wide range of photographic media from digital video installations to Victorian printing techniques. The title of the exhibition refers to the works Gomera (2008) and Kalahari (2009) in which Gregory draws attention to the cultural importance of marginalised African indigenous languages. Journeys feature recurrently in Gregory’s work, which has been made in diverse locations including South Africa, the Orkneys, Sri Lanka, and the Caribbean.

Finding the perfect planner

I know some of you (Becky) have been wondering how my Day Planner organizing is coming along.
I am having so much fun putting this all together. You know us crafters, we love our office supplies :)
What I have been doing is decorating my pages.
Crafting and organizing, whats not to love ;)
Here is the front of my Day Planner.
I added this flair button to decorate the tab as I wanted to cover up the symbol they had on there, and I wanted to personalize it.

If you remember from this post "More Organizing" I had a different planner. The first one I bought, the rings weren't big enough ;)
I did a video on finding the perfect planner for me.
It is a bit lengthy (I like short videos myself) so grab a cup of java....or in my case a can of Coke and enjoy my journey for the perfect planner.
Onto My Day:
I went to a wedding shower this afternoon.
I guess I must be getting old, as there were young children there...and they were loud.
I ended up getting a migraine...probably not from the children, but with the balloon popping and them popping the bubble wrap, they didn't help.
Thankfully my SIL, Sharon drove so I didn't have to drive. I lose parts of my vision when I get a migraine and I won't drive.
It went away a little after I came home.

I hope you all had a creative Sunday :)

  1. I like your planner! My day book at school is kind of my planner, I have to write things down there or I forget!

  2. I use a day planner too, have for 5 years. Yours looks like a good one:):):)

  3. I get more things done when I have a list too. If I don't I would just sit and watch tv series and have no idea what I should be doing lol... Great planner!

  4. Sorry to hear you had a migraine. They are the pits! Glad you found your perfect planner.

  5. your planner looks awesome!! sorry for the migraine! those are just awful. I hate it when those come on

  6. So sorry about your headache!
    Glad you had someone who could drive!!

  7. Great video. I still have a hard time giving up my paper calendar. I do so much with the smart phone but still want to see a visual calendar. It was fun to see what you are doing.

  8. I really like your planner. I'd be very upset about the month/day thing too.

    I'm glad your SIL was there to drive you home. That really stinks about the migraine!

  9. YAY, YAY, YAAAAAAAAY!!!!! This was awesome! That stinks you had to go back and get the other planner, but you were happier in the end, right? I love those page protectors you bought. Our Staples closed a couple of months ago :( I'm on the hunt for a planner right now, you've pushed me over the edge! I can't wait to see the finished pages! My kids are 11 and 5 (almost 6) and I know that's little compared to some, but I get annoyed but even younger kids. Isn't funny how your "kid tolerance" changes the older your kids get? Lol!

Leave me some love and I will return it right back to you :)

Dr. Riley’s Box of Tricks: 80 Uncommon Solutions for Everyday Parenting Problems. By Douglas A. Riley, Ed.D. Da Capo. $15.

     Ranging from the reasonably odd to the oddly reasonable, clinical psychologist Douglas Riley’s ideas for handling typical issues confronting families primarily involve taking things to extremes – that is, even further extremes than the ones children are likely to present. Thus, “The Liar’s Program,” for a child who often fibs, involves disbelieving everything the child says, so if he or she says what he or she wants for breakfast, the parent presents something else, since the originally expressed preference must have been a lie; if he or she wants to watch cartoons on a weekend morning, the parent assigns chores instead; and so on. This is an amusing idea that could actually work, although whether the lying child would actually do the assigned chores or eat the offered and unappealing breakfast is less than clear (Riley assumes the child will do as he or she is told – a shaky assumption at best).

     If nothing else, the ideas here are likely to make parents who read them feel better, even if the parents don’t try them out. If a six-to-14-year-old constantly yells, for instance, Riley recommends insisting the child yell everything or be ignored. Riley’s imagined dinner conversation is hilarious; and he insists that this program really has been tried, and really does work. You’ll never know unless you try it, but just imagining it and smiling at it may give harried parents a smile.

     For these ideas to work in the real world, parents have to be willing to carry them out. That is a repeated message here, and one some parents may have difficulty accepting. Several “tricks” require something along the lines of one that Riley calls “The Victim of Capitalism.” This is a messy-room approach: if a child leaves things strewn everywhere and never cleans up, the parents apologize for buying him or her so much and “explain that the only way to relieve him of the huge burden they had placed on him was to box up half of his stuff over the next few days and put it into storage so he would no longer have to deal with it.” Two weeks later, if the room is still messy, the parents have to box up half the remaining stuff and store it somewhere secure. And so on. Riley assures parents that this will work, but “you must be willing to follow through.” Will parents who have been so indulgent in buying things suddenly see the light and be willing to deprive a child of many of those things? Doubtful – although maybe, if parental frustration is high enough, this just might be workable.

     The biggest potential problem with Riley’s clever solutions (which are sometimes tricky but not really “tricks”) is that he assumes kids will get the point that parents want them to get. In the context of the counseling sessions that Riley holds with children and parents, and the reinforcement those sessions provide, that may be so, but it will not necessarily work the same way with families going about their everyday lives. For example, Riley suggests “The ‘I Forgot’ Pizza Method” for kids ages eight to 14 “who can’t seem to remember to do their homework or to hand it in if and when they do it.” This involves promising pizza for dinner, then getting a pizza place to make a pizza without cheese, with just a few bits of randomly distributed sauce, and with a small scattering of pepperoni; giving it to the kids; and then saying the pizza maker must have forgotten to put on all the ingredients, just as the kids forget to do their homework. The kids are supposed to understand that this is a lesson…learn the lesson…and clean up their act. More likely, though, they will become outraged, storm out of the room, go eat something else, become surly and unpleasant (or surlier and more unpleasant), and learn only that the parent who pulled this is not to be trusted to order pizza ever again.

     There is no question that parents need to think creatively to break through some of the ongoing issues that erupt and then fester in families. Riley has a good grasp of many of those issues: arguing, door slamming, slacking off, bathroom battles, fighting with siblings, interrupting, cell-phone overuse, and more. And a few of his approaches seem to have a good chance of success. For example, if a child fears going to sleep because he or she is sure the room is filled with spooky things, such as vampires, Riley suggests sitting down and talking calmly with the child, asking how often the vampires have actually gotten hold of him or her – not in dreams, but in reality. The child will eventually realize the answer is “zero.” Then you point out how dumb the vampires must be: “They roam around your room all night, from what you tell me, but it’s never occurred to them to look under the covers to find you. So they must be really stupid.” This is supposed to get the child to laugh and calm down – and it may do just that. It’s certainly worth trying. Just don’t be surprised when, a couple of days later, he or she announces that now the problem isn’t vampires – it’s witches, or zombies, or giant flesh-eating Easter bunnies, or something else. The fears underlying thoughts of these imaginary creatures may not be as easy to lay to rest as Riley suggests they are. Likewise, the problems that lead to many parent-child difficulties may not be solvable by tricking them into nonexistence.

Butterflies. By Seymour Simon. Collins. $17.99.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Special Edition 2012. Scholastic. $16.99.

     The redoubtable Seymour Simon does it again with Butterflies, his latest exploration of nature for ages 5-9. Simon is a master of his craft: his books are factually correct, simply but not too simply written, and illustrated with gorgeous photos that show off Earth’s natural wonders to superb effect. This is a bit easier in Butterflies than in some other books, since these insects are so gorgeous and familiar that kids in the target age range likely know and enjoy looking at them already – as opposed to, say, gorillas or spiders, the subjects of two other Simon books. One thing Simon does exceptionally well is gather unusual facts about his subjects in addition to more straightforward ones – in the case of this book, for example, the facts that butterflies taste with their feet and have eyes that can look in multiple directions at the same time. Simon also explains how to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth (antenna shape is the best method); discusses the parts and functions of each segment of a butterfly’s body (head, thorax and abdomen); and explains that there are about 10 times as many kinds of moths as there are types of butterflies. To the information, add wonderful closeups of brilliantly colored butterflies (and one that has gorgeous colors on one side of its wings and dull ones, for camouflage, on the other), a photo sequence showing a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, extremely close views of parts of butterfly and moth bodies, a list of butterfly families whose members are commonly seen in the United States, and suggestions on how to make a “butterfly garden” to attract more of these fascinating insects, and you have a book so packed with information that it is something of a shock to realize that it is only 32 pages long. Like other Simon science books, Butterflies delivers a great deal of interesting material while showing numerous beautiful pictures. These are entry-level science books, to be sure, but they are so well done that they should entice many young readers to go looking for more in-depth information elsewhere – good places to start being the Web sites mentioned at the end of the book.

     Animals also figure in many entries in the latest annual edition in the Scholastic series of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! The interest here, though, is not scientific exploration but a mild form of tabloid-style exploitation. There is an elephant here – about to step on a woman’s back, because of an odd massage craze in Thailand. There is a dog – actually an X-ray of a dog that swallowed five pottery cats. There are cows, sheep and mice – etched on glass milk bottles by an artist in England. There is a llama – trained as a golf caddy. And of course there are plenty of human animals as well: one who backed through the seventh-floor wall of a parking garage, leaving the trunk of his car hanging precariously 80 feet above the street; one who made a life-size cardboard cutout of her deceased husband and took it to his own funeral and a friend’s wedding; one wearing a Body-Laptop Woolly Sweater that covers the head, hands and computer; two wrestling in a giant pool of chocolate; one who made a bulletproof handkerchief, to be worn in the breast pocket; one cruising around Sydney (Australia) Harbour in a giant guitar; one playing a piano made entirely of ice, and another setting fire to an old piano; and so on. “What fools these mortals be,” Puck might say, but anything Shakespearean would be a far cry indeed from this (+++) book of assorted oddments. From conjoined fruits to number games to odd facts (“more people in India have access to a cell phone than to a lavatory”), this punchy, easy-to-read, factoid-packed, brightly colored, highly pictorial compendium is fun for a while, silly for a while, and downright strange for a while. It is a read-it-once sort of book, not the type of volume to which people return again and again; but in its own oddball way, it can be amusing and enjoyable, at least for a time.

Immigration Street 'fractures' area

Derby Road in SouthamptonFilming took place last year in the Bevois area of Southampton

Residents living in an area of Southampton shown in the controversial programme Immigration Street have said it has left the community “fractured” and fearing a backlash.

The Channel 4 documentary broadcast on Tuesday night – a follow-up to Benefits Street – was filmed in Derby Road.

The programme showed scenes of interviewees being threatened and film crews pelted with eggs and grit.

Resident Ali Begg said he felt “totally disappointed” after watching the show.

Mr Begg said: “There is going to be a lot of backlash mainly on the anti-Muslim and the anti-Islamic stance that they have put up.

“They’ve shown us in a really bad light where they are saying that people are threatening them – but hang on, you provoked that. I’m not saying that’s right but we did say ‘don’t come here’.

“I don’t think it shows a true reflection.”

Ofcom said it had received one complaint about the programme.

A spokesman for the media watchdog said: “Someone got in touch to say it was a poorly made programme. We will assess this complaint before deciding whether to investigate or not.”

Derby Road residents in meetingMany of the residents in the street were against the show

Immigration Street had been due to be a series but was changed to a one hour-long documentary after filming was disrupted by protests.

Pat O’Dell, from Newtown Residents’ Association, said: “It was cleverly edited to bring in the violence. It’s had such an effect on the community.

“It’s caused a fracture in the community and brought mistrust – now we’ve got to work to try and get it back together again.”

Love Productions, the company behind the programme, said the film aimed to capture contemporary life on an ethnically diverse street in Southampton.

Producer Kieran Smith said the film used “ordinary people and their lives to start a debate about immigration”.

“Derby Road is a place that’s been transformed by immigration it’s a place where immigrants still come and make their home,” Mr Smith said.

Hampshire Constabulary said it was stepping up patrols in the area to reassure residents.

Buying Used Cars On The Internet

With so many options of how to purchase today, buying used cars today is more overwhelming than ever. Whether you choose to purchase at a dealership, on the Internet, or through a private seller via a listing in a local paper, there are several options available to the consumer today. If you have a specific model in mind, down to the specific trim level, price point, and even color, the Internet is probably your best bet. Though it may be a bit challenging, you can most likely find exactly what you are looking for on a variety of automotive websites.

Obviously, buying used cars on the Internet poses a number of risks that you may not have to face when buying from a dealership or from a private seller in town. Firstly, you should focus your search locally. Although this may limit your options, buying an automobile of any kind is a huge investment, so you want to be sure that you will be able to go and see it in person. There should be a variety of vehicles that are available in just a matter of a few hours of driving. You don’t want to risk purchasing a vehicle a thousand miles away just to have it break down on your trek home.

You should also know the vehicle you are purchasing inside and out. This is true no matter where you are buying the vehicle. Do as much research as possible about the automobile that you want to get before you commit to handing over any money. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, because they probably will be. When buying any used cars, you need to be sure it is thoroughly inspected before you buy. Inspect it yourself the best that you can. If you don’t know anything about cars, look for obvious things such as wear and tear on upholstery, and check to see how the vehicle feels during your test drive. You should get an independent report from a mechanic as well. A mechanical problem doesn’t necessary equal “do not buy,” but it should at the very least contribute to the vehicle’s price.

In many ways, when purchasing used cars on the Internet, you should be taking the same precautions that you would take anywhere. Most importantly, don’t hand over any money until you are able to see the car yourself. You should have it inspected beforehand, and just be cautious before handing over any of your money.

I love watching the Olympics. Winter Games and Summer Games. One of my Idols in high school was figure skater Dorothy Hamill. Grace on ice. I liked her enough that I wanted her hairstyle. So I was the first in my school to get the Dorothy Hamill Wedge. Not long after many other girls were sporting this style as well.

Wasn't he awesome?

The only sport I can remotely relate to and understand the scoring system for is Gymnastics, as I was a gymnast in high school until I fell on my head off the uneven bars at a meet and got a concussion. Yes...that's what's wrong with me:) I even have a member of my family tree who won two golds, a silver and a bronze in the 1984 games as a member of the USA Men's Gymnastic team. See below.

*My daughter's friend, Melissa, has parents with Olympic ties also. Her mother was a track and field competitor for Brazil in the 1972 Munich Games. Pretty cool.

Lindsay rocked the slope in great pain!

Such a thrill to see competitors going for their personal best after years of training. Persistence, pain, discipline, time, sacrifice, passion . All the qualities that make the athlete realize the goal and achieve the dream.

Peter Vidmar, (cousin from my family tree) winning Olympic Gold in 1984 Games. Read about Peter (perfect 10) and the USA Men's Gymnastic Team's win over the defending World Champions People's Republic of China Team, here. (That's Peter in the middle. On the left is Bart Conner who is married to another of my Idols: The Gold Medal Romanian Gymnast, Nadia Comaneci.)

YAY Olympics! I like watching the half pipe and figure skating. That's funny about Dorthy Hamil's hair!

M-Z-T said...

Yeah, the Olympics are always an event at our house. But it's more the Summer games than the winter, but I like watching anything.

Thanks for the nod! My mom was in the '72, '76, and '80 games.

I Have been glued to the TV also. I especially love hearing about all our Utah athletes.

Cookie Doe said...

Wow, I haven't watched a single Olympic event this year. I did once have the Dorothy Hamill though...

Treble Clef ♪ said...

I didn't realize Mama Z. was also in those additional Olympics. Truly awesome!

La La Land said...

I also love the Olympics! We watch all of the events. Peter Vidmar was my idol growing up. His sister lived up the street from me, so I got to see him every once in a while. Truly a great man!

But that drop all \skewchar, \textfont and other definitions as those
commands use fonts at time of assignment. So if I redefine font \tenrm
then \textfont will still use old font...

It is slightly modified, but still plain:

It basically replace cm* fonts with cs* (cs* are just extension and
fully backward compatible with cm*), set A4 format, load also Slovak
hyphenation patterns and in pdfTeX uses encTeX for UTF-8 support.

So I would say it is still plain, just for Slovak texts.

But in LuaTeX for loading cs* fonts is needed your fontloader with
TFM+PFB support, for original Knuth's cm* fonts not.

As the hub of a thriving, growing University of Alabama campus, the Ferguson Center underwent a significant expansion to better serve the student body and to present a more attractive presence within the campus fabric. TURNERBATSON completed a 75,000-square-foot expansion to the existing 1960's vintage Ferguson Center Student Union in 2014. The renovated building now includes new entrances to better accommodate pedestrian traffic from the south and east sides, and newly finished interiors and greater gathering spaces offer a more welcoming experience for the student body. The new addition houses expanded food services, the Dean of Students office, SGA offices, Greek Life, meeting rooms, and a great hall for student gatherings, events, and receptions.

On the first floor of the Ferguson Center, the SUPe Store bookstore has been doubled in size and reconfigured to accommodate the growing need to offer more merchandise to students, staff, and visitors. The first floor also includes the largest campus-based Starbucks in the country.

The neoclassical design complements adjacent campus buildings and features large skylights, a "Great Hall" and "South Porch" for hosting events.

Car Collector Chronicles

It's time once again for my friend's monthly exploration into all things "old car." The Car Collector Chronicles is always a fun read and Dave Yaros always has interesting and fun content. This month, among articles about making a road trip to North Carolina, the end of the Plymouth, and the upcoming anniversary celebration of Jeep, among others, he passes on a story I told about literally breaking the winning car at the Indy 500 one year. Oh well, despite that last one this is a fantastic issue and well worth checking out.

You can find this issue and all of his past posts here: https://www.scribd.com/user/7936333/Dave-Yaros

Cruise for the Cure

Lauren Hill was an energetic young woman attending Mount Saint Joseph College. It had been her dream to play college basketball and she was so close. Only one thing stood in her way: pediatric brain cancer. Lauren's battle against this disease and her being able to not only play in a college basketball game but to score made national headlines. Sadly Lauren lost her battle with cancer but she sparked an awareness of this malady that continues today.

Recently the Cruise for the Cure was held at historic Coney Island will all proceeds benefiting The Cure Starts Now Foundation, an organization Lauren backed which raises funding to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer.

Hosted by Cincy Custom Street Machines well over 300 cars rolled onto the grass at Coney. Hundreds more people showed up just to admire the rides and to support Lauren Hill one more time. Among the cars on display was a 1932 Ford, a customized pick-up, a Ford Galaxy convertible, an early Chevy Bel Air, a Mustang, a Nova SS, a Continental, an Oldsmobile, and a first generation Thunderbird.

Born to Be Wild

I was approached not too long ago by the fine folks at Turo, a peer to peer car rental company unlike anything else out there. According to Emma, it's like car-sharing, but better. She asked if I would be willing to create a blog post about one of the cars in my life and tell about some experiences. She called it an "Auto-biography" and said they were going to try to get something similar from their users.

Rather than write about one of my current cars I thought I would re-post an article I published in Cincinnati Profile Magazine two years ago. It is a story I recounted to my youngest son as we were driving home from a weekend of cars and fun to celebrate his birthday in Indianapolis. It is a story of when I was young, right out of college and taking the ride of my life. It is a story that convinced me that all young men are Born to Be Wild.

            A couple of weeks ago my youngest son, Josh, and I took a road trip up to Indianapolis. Indy is a great city with lots to do. We enjoyed wandering through the Indianapolis Museum of Art and took in a soggy Indianapolis Indians (http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t484) baseball game.
            While these were well worth the trip, the real reason we were there, though, was because of cars. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway had created a great weekend for motoring enthusiasts. The premier event was the Indianapolis Grand Prix (take a look at how these cars run) which, if you have never been, is actually a whole series of races leading up to the main event.
            The grand prix may have been the featured event but also as part of the weekend was the Celebration of Automobiles, a Councours event that featured over 100 classic cars ranging from the early Brass Era up into the muscle cars of the 1960s. If you’re interested, you can see posts on my daily classic car blog ofthis event beginning here.
            Also while we were there we wandered through the IMS Hall of Fame Museum which not only has dozens of actual winners of the 500 on display but a lot of other amazing cars as well. We were told that at any time there are over 75 cars on display in the museum. While we were there they were having a special exhibit on the Turbine Era of the Indy 500. I will eventually be posting pictures and stories of the museum on my daily blog.
            In all this was a fun road trip weekend and a great opportunity to spend time with my son. On the ride back as we talked about a variety of things, Josh said that someday he would like to pack up and take a road trip across the country. As we talked about that memories of my various cross country drives began to flood back.
            Get your motor running.
            I was recently out of college and one of my old film professors had called my parents’ house looking for me. It seems he and a couple of friends had gotten a grant to shoot a documentary about dolphin research. Back in college I had helped my professor work on another documentary and as that production moved forward I began taking on more roles and doing more and more work. Ultimately I had even helped to write the script, did some of the photography, did a lot of lighting and sound and even helped him in the editing room. So when he and his partners were looking for someone to help them they gave me a call.
            Since they had given me some advance notice before shooting was to begin I decided to take a leisurely drive across the country and see some of the places I had never visited. I loaded up my 1977 European built Mercury Capri and I went over maps, since this was way before Google Earth, plotting my path with care.
            My brother and his wife lived just outside of Denver, they still do, and so it would have been logical for me to take the I-70 route straight across the country. Unfortunately they would be gone when I would travel through the Mile High City so I decided to head a little bit south so I could visit a friend who was in Oklahoma City at the time. I would take I-74 to Indy then head west on I-70 but only until I got to St. Louis. There I would hit I-44 into Oklahoma City.
            There my plan was to take I-40 through the Texas panhandle and Albuquerque and much of Arizona before leaving the Interstate system and heading north to spend a day or two in Las Vegas. Then it was I-15 on to the spaghetti of blacktop that is LA.
            Head out on the highway.
            The trip started well and I made it to Oklahoma City in about 14 hours with stops for gas, food and, well, various other necessities. I had left early in the morning and with the change in time zones arrived at my friend’s house just in time for us to go out and get something to eat. And drink.
Yes, we were 20 somethings and so after we had dinner we went around the corner to a bar that featured a real live Texas bred country band. If you have ever seen the movie The Blues Brothers there is a scene in which the band plays a bar where the people like both kinds of music, country and Western. I think this was the place where the filmmakers got their inspiration.  It may sound unbelievable but I swear that 20 minutes wouldn’t go by that the band wasn’t playing The Eyes of Texas. What made it worse is that everybody in the place, except me, knew the secret clapping rhythms needed to accompany the band. It was a strange night.
The next day, notice I didn’t say morning, my friend showed me around Oklahoma City. It was a nice city, not at all what I expected. In our studies of U. S. history back in high school and college we learned about the rush to settle the land but the incident that etched onto everyone’s memory was the Dust Bowl. This is what I was expecting but not what I saw in Oklahoma City. I saw a city much like Cincinnati in many ways. Instead of it being flat it rests in what is known as the Sandstone Hills region of central Oklahoma. This was about as far west as I had ever driven and I was greeted with my first pleasant surprise.
After seeing the city and resting up a bit I headed out I-40 West for what should have been about an eight hour trip to my next planned stop, Albuquerque, NM. The trip, I thought, would be pretty boring as my route was to take me through western Oklahoma and across the panhandle of Texas. This was the real infamous dust bowl region and I could see why it had suffered that plight back in the 1930s.
But instead of it being arid and windblown, I ran into snow. Sure, it was January but I hadn’t expected snow to fall in the Texas panhandle. But snow it did. It wasn’t a blizzard by any sense of the imagination but it was sticking to not only the grass but also the road, accumulating perhaps two inches. It brought traffic to a crawl.
This wasn’t my first trip to Texas. I had flown to Houston my senior year in college as part of the Society for Collegiate Journalists conference. I hadn’t liked Houston, too industrial, too dirty. I would later visit Dallas (stay out of the airport), San Antonio and Austin, parts of the state I do like. But none of these other cities were like the panhandle, especially in snow.
People who don’t regularly drive in snow have no idea how to handle it. Remember, this part of the country was flat enough on which to play a game of pool with the only elevations being the overpasses of the highway. On those overpasses, though, the Texans who were on the road were skidding and sliding around. I, in my little rear wheel drive Capri, weighed down with my life in the hatch, easily went in and out between them as I managed the obstacle course created by their automotive incompetence.
The snow added a couple of hours to my trip and also added unneeded anxiety as I had to remain on edge against a sliding Texans. Eventually I worked my way out of the snow and continued toward my destination.
As I crossed into New Mexico the sun was setting and the sky was moonless and clear. It seemed for a while as if I was the only person on the road and eventually my bladder was thankful of that. Having to relieve myself I just pulled off to the side of the road rather than wait for an exit. I put on my blinker and walked away from the car to do my business. That’s when I finally looked up.
Though there was no moon the sky was exploding with light from billions of stars. Growing up in the suburbs, even going camping as a kid, I had never seen anything like this. It was one of the most spectacular things I’d ever seen and wish I could today find the slides I took with my camera. They’re packed away in boxes like the rest of the photos from this trip, now no more than crated memories.
I got back in the car with renewed energy and sped the rest of the way toward my destination. I became aware that I had been climbing for a while and soon in the distance saw at glow coming from over the horizon. As I got closer I realized what I was seeing was the very life of Albuquerque shining in the moonless night.
Topping a crest I began descending into the city, tired and hungry. Through the help of the American Automotive Association, better known as AAA, I had gotten books which told me of the best places to stop and the best things to see. I had pinpointed a hotel that they said was both good and affordable and since it was right off the highway I had chosen it for my night’s rest.
After I checked in and took my overnight bag into the room, I returned to the desk to ask the clerk, a nice, kindly grandmother of a woman, if there was someplace within walking distance where I could grab a beer and a burger. She directed me to a joint right across the street.
I accepted her referral and without even looking at the name on the façade, I soon found myself sipping a cold beer at the bar while waiting for my burger. Suddenly the lights dimmed and the music got loud. Just as my burger was served I saw several pair of shapely legs wearing stiletto heels parading along the bar top. I managed to pull my food and drink out of harm’s way and watched as about a dozen strippers started flashing their wares. Yes, the nice, kindly grandmother had sent me to a strip club.
I have to admit that the burger was pretty darn delicious.
The next day I hung out in Albuquerque, exploring the city. I loved it. I had never seen anything like this place. Though my brother and his wife lived just outside of Denver, in the mountains within tasting distance of the Coors Brewery, the landscape of this place was very, very different.
It made me wonder why certain people famously passed through this wonderful city. Perhaps the first of those was the legendary motion picture director Cecil B. DeMille. DeMille, who, along with his co-director, Oscar Apfel, and the cast and crew were heading west to shoot the Western TheSquaw Man in 1914. Prior to that movie Westerns were shot in New Jersey and occasionally as far west as Kentucky. But legend has it that DeMille’s producer, Jesse L. Lasky, wanted to shoot in an actual Western town. He chose Albuquerque since it had been featured in a number of dime novels.
Supposedly when the train stopped in Albuquerque there was snow on the ground. A quick decision was made to stay on the train and head as far west as the line ran. It stopped in a quiet little burg called Hollywood.
Perhaps the most famous person to skip past this city wasn’t a person at all but a cartoon rabbit named Buggs. I’ll tell you this much, I was glad I didn’t take a left turn at Albuquerque.
Looking for adventure.
After exploring the city and, of course, checking out the Rio Grande, I had another good meal at that quaint little diner across the street from my hotel and got a good night’s rest. My next planned stop as I traveled along I-40 was only about five hours away in Flagstaff, AZ. Why there and not on to Las Vegas or even LA? Well there was method to my madness.
I got up early and had an enjoyable drive into Flagstaff where I once again checked into an AAA recommended hotel. I then began exploring, not only the city but the surrounding region. I drove up US 190 through the Navaho reservation and picked up State Route 64. My goal was to drive up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
While stopping at a small store, one of the locals asked me where I was heading. When I told them they laughed and said my car would never make it. One older gentleman offered to drive me up and show me the south rim. We hopped into his ancient Ford pickup truck and proceeded up through roads that became rutted until we reached that spectacular, breathtaking natural phenomenon. Since the tourist sites were set up on the north rim, this was a sight few people got to see.
My new Navaho friend told me all about the land and his people. I was fascinated. I took half a dozen rolls of Kodak Ektachrome and two rolls of Kodak Plus-X film. I was like a kid in a candy shop. As it got later the gentleman returned me to my car and invited me to join him in the back of the store for dinner. I don’t know if it was an authentic Navaho meal but it sure wasn’t Cincinnati chili.
I rose early the next day because I wanted to be on my way to my next stop, Las Vegas, where I planned to spend a couple of days. I drove west on I-40 until I got to Kingman, AZ where I turned north onto US 93. This took me through the high desert on a clear, bright day, toward the Colorado River.
Along the way I experienced something very strange. I’m not a UFO freak or a conspiracy theorist in any way but I saw something in the sky that totally baffled me. It was flying in the endless blue sky at a good pace like any jet but then I blinked and it was suddenly gone. I blinked again and it returned. This occurred several times until I finally lost track of it. My only guess, now looking back at it, was that I saw an early experimental stealth aircraft. Either that or E.T. was returning to Roswell.
For me, the highlight of this leg of the journey wasn’t arriving in Vegas with all of its glitz and kitsch, it was doing something that is no longer possible: driving over Hoover Dam. Considered one of the greatest engineering marvels not only in this country but in the world, Hoover Dam, originally known as Boulder Dam, took five years to construct and created the nation’s largest volume reservoir, Lake Mead.
After taking the tour and seeing the river that created the Grand Canyon having been harnessed, I continued north through Henderson and finally into Las Vegas. I checked into the wackiest of Vegas hotels, Circus Circus. It was everything that I had hoped for and more. So was Vegas. This wasn’t my first trip to Vegas as I had attended the National Association of Broadcaster’s convention my senior year in college.
At that convention I managed to hit a lucky slot machine for a couple hundred bucks and then multiplied it at the black jack table when I went on an amazing string of good draws. Hoping to repeat that I had a few bucks set aside to gamble and, believe it or not, won a bit more before quitting.
Vegas then isn’t the same as Vegas today (the carpet at Circus Circus back then was inlaid with faces of clowns – talk about scary) and I managed to get coupons and feast on as many of the cheap buffets and one dollar shrimp cocktails as I could handle. I also checked out a bunch of the different casinos (though I didn’t gamble beyond that first night) and some of the museums around town. But after my two days, I was ready to go.
In whatever comes our way.
The drive from Vegas to LA is a pretty straight four or so hour shot south on I-15 to I-10 west. I had traveled cross country (at least the 2200 or so miles from Cincinnati to LA) at a leisurely pace. No, I hadn’t done what Sewell J. Crocker had done in his Model T Ford back in 1903 but I had made the trip and seen many parts of the country I had never seen before.
I managed to make that trek several more times before returning permanently to Cincinnati to get married and raise a family. With each of those journeys I took my time and followed some fun routes, seeing some magnificent country. The first trip back I took the route down the middle of the country along I-70 to spend a couple of days with my brother. That trip was interesting because I had decided to drive straight through from Denver to Cincinnati but ended up stopping in Kansas City when I heard the Royals were in town. It was my first and only visit to their baseball stadium.
One trip back to LA I decided to follow one of the longest stretches of road in the country, US 50. Beginning in Dover, MD, this highway travels through Cincinnati and into St. Louis where it picks up much of the path of what was once the Pony Express. Today much of this route runs in conjunction with I-70 though there are some lengthy places where it splits. I didn’t take all of those and sadly ended up missing Dodge City but I did drive a good chunk of this iconic road to its end in Sacramento, CA.
Another route was the now gone but never forgotten Route 66 which officially ceased to be in 1986. Dubbed the Will Rogers Highway, this stretch of over 2400 miles of highway ran from Chicago all the way to the ocean in Santa Monica.
There is the southern route, along I-10 through Phoenix and along the Gulf Coast. There is the northern route, best taken in summer, on I-94 to Billings, MN and switching to I-90 into Seattle, then down I-5.
As my son Josh and I drove home from Indianapolis, I remembered and shared these stories and more. He thought my stop in Albuquerque was pretty funny and my meeting the old Navaho gentleman was one of the coolest things I had ever told him. As we pulled into the driveway I could see the wheels in his head turning, how he was plotting and planning a way to drive the country and see many of the sights and appreciate all of the different cultures.
It really is amazing how large our country is. I once mapped it out and figured that the distance I drove on that first trip was about the same as if I had driven from Moscow, Russia to Lisbon in Portugal. If you calculate the trip from New York you would have to do another 600 miles east. And if you were to go from the Northeast part of the country, say Portland, ME, to the Southwest, say San Diego, you would travel over 3100 miles. And to paraphrase Dr. Seuss, “Oh the places you would see.”
You do not have to travel across the country to find adventure in your car. There are lots of places near us where you can go. Or you can just hop in, aim in a direction and drive just to see where you end up.
Yes, there is adventure to be found driving through this country of ours. I’ve done it and was glad I did. I have a feeling Josh might actually do it. Why not, he, like his father, was Born to be Wild.

Wrapping Up This Random Week

Today I'm wrapping up a full week of random cars that I've stumbled across. They are in the order that I saw them so you can have an idea of that it was like to wander around the show. In today's group I have a stunning Lincoln, a 1958 Chevy Bel Air, a Chevy Impala, a fabulous looking Jaguar, a Ford Falcon Sprint, a Buick, a VW Beetle, and a Malibu station wagon.

Another Interesting Random Collection

I often like to post pictures of the cars as I've seen them at a show. It's often fun to see how they are grouped or end up grouping themselves. In this random batch, similar to yesterday, all of the cars but one is from General Motors with most bearing the Chevy label. And just like yesterday, they represent a great collection. Included are a 1957 Bel Air, a Jeep, a Chevy pick up, a GMC, a Firebird, a 1941 Chevy coup, and a sharp looking Corvair.

Monday, May 23, 2016

Random Posts

Here are some random cars that actually looked good together. With one exception, they all happened to be Chevys. Sometimes karma is good. Included are a 1957 Bel Air, an old Chevy van, a 1954 Bel Air, an old Chevy that made the Peking to Paris Run, a very clean Cutlass S, a 1964 Impala, and a C 3 Vette.

The Bold and The Beautiful Transcript Monday 5/28/01

Provided By Stephanie
Proofread by Marilyn

Eric: What'd you say?

Deacon: I said, "get your hands off my wife."

Brooke: Your wife?

Deacon: You heard me. Bridget and I got married.

Clarke: You can't be serious. You're closing down Spectra?

Sally: We had a good, long run, Clarke, but the show is over.

Clarke: Sally, with you, the show is never over. Go home, get some rest. You'll feel better tomorrow.

Sally: I am not gonna feel any better about trying to beat the odds again tomorrow or the next day. Clarke, I'm sorry. All the fight's gone out of me. I lost the taste for it.

Clarke: Things aren't that bad.

Sally: Well, obviously, you haven't been studying the sales figures from our for last quarterly report.

Clarke: Sally, everybody's sales are down. That's seasonal.

Sally: Nice try, Clarke, and I appreciate it. But it's not gonna work. I just can't see it anymore. I'm not gonna be able to compete like I used to. The fire's gone out in me, you know? And when a fast-talkin', fast-walkin' dame like Sally Spectra slows down to a crawl, it is time to close the door.

Clarke: Sally -- Sally, you're a dame with a big heart, too. What are the workers gonna do?

Sally: People have been trying to steal our workers away from us for years. They'll find other jobs.

Clarke: They don't want other jobs. They like it here.

Sally: You don't think I know how loyal they've been? Next month, I can't even pay 'em!

Clarke: Things are that bad?

Sally: Of course I could let you go over to the bank and try and float another loan over there, or maybe I could put a second mortgage on the condominium, maybe sell a couple of pieces of jewelry, the only ones that aren't made of paste. But it would just be a temporary fix, Clarke. For things to really get better, we need a whole new angle.

Clarke: Yeah, we can go high-end.

Sally: We have never made a killing in haute couture. It's just not our style. Now you, that's a different story. As a designer, you can go anywhere. What you need is a big, solid company behind you, somebody like Calvin or Ralph.

Clarke: Or Eric Forrester?

Sally: Don't even say that as a joke. Don't go near those people, Clarke. They are poison to us. They always have been. The reason this company is in the trouble it's in today is because we tried to compete on their level. And to get involved with them personally is even worse. You know that. And look what they did to Macy. Enough's enough. So what do you say, laddie buck, huh? Why don't you and I share a wee dram of the good stuff?

Clarke: The good stuff, huh?

Sally: The best.

Clarke: Okay.

Rick: Get some sunscreen on you. We don't want you to get sunburn, do we? Hey, there's Mommy.

Amber: You guys almost ready?

Rick: Yes, we are. Let me see the bikini I bought you.

Amber: You know what, Rick? I changed my mind. I decided that I'm not gonna swim with you guys. I'm just gonna watch.

Rick: Why?

Amber: Well, because I -- you know, I don't want to mess up my hair and get it all wet.

Rick: Okay. Well, let me see the bikini anyway. What's the matter?

Amber: Not in front of Eric. It's pretty skimpy.

Rick: Amber, you're his mother.

Amber: I'm just not comfortable.

Rick: What's going on, Amber? Why don't you want to take off your robe?

Eric: You're lying. He's lying, isn't he?

Bridget: No, Dad.

Deacon: We went to Las Vegas last night, Mr. Forrester, and we were married.

Brooke: Well, this marriage is going to be annulled! You're coming home right now, Bridget!

Deacon: No, Mrs. Forrester, this marriage is not gonna be annulled. This is what we want. We just hope that, after awhile, when you see how happy we are, you'll want this for us, too.

Thorne: You know what, Deacon? You shut up, or so help me God --!

Bridget: Thorne, that's enough!

Eric: You're not his wife! Now you get the hell over here. We're going home right now.

Bridget: You don't take me seriously. None of you do.

Thorne: Damn right! Not when you're acting like this, Bridget!

Deacon: She's not acting, Thorne! Please, all right, just calm down. She's a woman. She's made a decision, and I'd like you all to respect it. Look, I'm not gonna have my wife treated this way.

Eric: Your wife? She's not your wife. She's not your wife!

Bridget: Dad! Dad!

Rick: Tell me what the problem is.

Amber: There isn't any problem. I just don't want to expose myself in front of Eric.

Rick: Honey, it's a swimsuit.

Amber: I know, but --

Rick: Hey. I know when you're hiding something from me. Now, please, don't do that. What's that?

Amber: Uh, that -- that's a tattoo.

Rick: Is that what you're hiding from me?

Amber: Yeah. There's a story behind it, Rick.

Brooke: Eric.

Eric: -- My daughter. All right, all right. Thorne, all right.

Thorne: Are you sure?

Eric: Yes, let go of me.

Bridget: Are you okay? Are you okay?

Deacon: It's okay. Dad just wasn't prepared for this, that's all.

Brooke: You really want to play this game, don't you?!

Deacon: Not playing a game here. I love your daughter. I'm gonna make her the best darn husband.

Thorne: You know what, Deacon? Knock this crap off, okay, 'cause nobody's buying it.

Bridget: You want proof, Thorne? Is that what you're saying? Okay, my marriage license is in here. I don't have my birth certificate on me, but, trust me, it says I'm 18. You know what that means? It means I'm legal. I'm old enough to get married, even if I'm not old enough to have your respect.

Brooke: Honey, this isn't about respect.

Bridget: Yes, it is, Mom! Look how you've -- look at the way you treat Deacon. Does it matter to you? Does it matter one bit to you how I feel about him? Obviously not, because every time you see him with me, you physically attack him.

Eric: Because we know he doesn't love you. He's just using you!

Bridget: What, he's gonna tie himself down to someone he doesn't love for the rest of his life just to get back at you guys?

Brooke: If you think you're going to be with him for the rest of your life, you're dreaming. He's gonna drop you as soon as he has Amber back!

Bridget: How can you say that to me? Do you find it so hard to believe that this man could love me? I'm not a child anymore. Why can't you trust me?

[Bridget sighs]

Eric: What do you want us to do, honey? You want us to just leave you alone? You want us to just leave you to be taken care of by this man, this so- called husband of yours? You're my daughter. You're my youngest daughter, and what I want for you -- I can't accept this for you. I won't accept this!

Sally: We had our day, didn't we?

Clarke: We were the best, Sal.

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I can remember a couple of months there when we were the best.

Clarke: You, me, Macy, Darla, Saul.

Sally: I can still hear Saul, can't you?

Clarke: Yeah. "Oye!"

Brooke: "Oye! Sally, what? What's with the fabric manufacturers? We pay those people a good dollar, and what do they send us? They send us velvet that's so rough you could file your nails on it. Azoy!"

Clarke: "Azoy!"

Sally: Oh, Saul. Oh, God, what a character, huh? I will always remember him. Just two fingers.

Clarke: Here's the second.

Sally: So here's to Saul. Here's to Macy and Spectra, that tough little company. We really gave them one hell of a run for their money. Isn't it rich isn't it queer losing my timing this late in my career but where are the clowns m there ought to be clowns m

Saul: Azoy. Well, maybe next year

Sally: It's hard to let go of, isn't it? But, hey, you know, nothing in this life is permanent. Not even Spectra Fashions.

Deacon: Mr. Forrester, you're gonna have to try and accept this. Bridget is a mature and responsible woman. I'm a mature man. We know what we want, and it's to be together.

Eric: I know what you're doing. I know what you're doing, Deacon.

Deacon: Well then, I hope we can expect your support.

Eric: The only support you're gonna get from me is a call from my lawyer tomorrow morning.

Deacon: What do I have to do to convince you that I love your daughter?

Eric: You're mocking me, Deacon. Don't do that. Don't mock me.

Deacon: I'm trying my darndest here. Bridget -- we need you, so that we can be a part of this family.

Eric: Honey, look -- honey, I know -- I know you must have a lot of anger inside. And I think maybe it's because -- because I wasn't around enough.

Bridget: Dad -- don't do this, okay? This has nothing to do with you.

Eric: Well, it just has to, because this isn't like you at all.

Bridget: Daddy, I'm in love.

Eric: Yeah. Okay, you're in love. But even if I approved of this man, I wouldn't approve of marriage now. It's too soon. You haven't graduated from high school yet.

Deacon: Excuse me, sir --

Eric: Don't, don't, don't!

Bridget: Dad!

Deacon: I was just gonna say that I know Bridget hasn't finished high school. And no wife of mine is gonna be a dropout.

Thorne: You gonna take her to her prom, Deacon?

Deacon: Gosh, Thorne, I hadn't really thought about it, but you know what? Come to think of it, I'd be honor to pin a corsage on that beautiful lady.

Eric: He's not gonna take you to the prom, honey. He's just gonna take you and he's gonna abuse you. He's abusing you now. You can't just leave the family like this. You can't leave the family for this man. You can't do that. If you do that, I don't think I'd be able to survive it. It would break my heart.

Bridget: [Crying] I'm telling you -- don't do that to me. Don't do that to yourself. Now, I'm asking you to trust me here. I'm begging you to trust me this one last time, okay? Just one more time. I'm begging you to trust your dad. Trust Daddy one more time, okay? You trust Daddy just this one time?

Rick: So you went to a tattoo parlor in Vegas and you got yourself done. I think it's kind of sexy. It was Deacon's idea, wasn't it?

Amber: Yeah.

Rick: That's -- that's okay. I mean, it's not like he was there holding your hand, right?

[Amber remembering]

Deacon: Come on, give me your hand.

Rick: And then look at the tattoo you got, a broken heart. You know, that's how you were feeling at the time. And that's how I was feeling, too. It must have driven Deacon up a wall.

Amber: He -- he handled it.

Rick: Really? How so? Amber, is there more to this story than you're telling me?

Amber: No. No, I -- it's just -- you know, I don't like to think about that, because it was a very confusing time for me.

Rick: I know. I know. It was for me, too. But that's behind us now. Deacon is out of the picture for good.

Amber: I hope so.

Rick: Look, if you're worried about Bridget, don't be. Mom and Dad have probably already taken care of it. And Deacon won't be able to lay a finger on her.

Thorne: Bridget -- honey, you've always been very levelheaded. And marrying Deacon, marrying anyone for that matter, it would be foolish. Okay? Because you're just not ready.

Deacon: I'm not so sure about that, Thorne.

Thorne: I'm talking to my sister, not you.

Deacon: Rick's young, right, and he's been ready to marry Amber for years.

Brooke: Not in my opinion!

Deacon: Well, maybe not. Look, the point I'm trying to make here is that it seems to me as if all Forresters tend to get married pretty young. Mr. Forrester, you and Stephanie, Rick. And now, Bridget. Those are all good, stable marriages that are gonna last.

Brooke: Why are you doing this to us? Don't you have any morals, any decency? You're hurting this young girl and why?! For revenge?!

Bridget: Mom, it's not about revenge.

Brooke: Yes, it is, Bridget.

Bridget: Why do you keep insulting me like this?

Brooke: Honey, I -- I don't mean to insult you. It's just -- just stand back, okay? Take a couple of days and look at this. Marriage is one of the biggest decisions you will ever have to make in your life. And it deserves some thought. You haven't given it any. Please, your father and I are asking you for one favor. One request to put this idea of marriage on hold for a while, okay? Just a couple of days. Just two days to weigh the biggest decision you will ever to make. Now, is that asking too much? From two people who love you more than anything in this world, who would give their lives for you? No. No, it's not. We love you, you know that. So, we're just asking you for this one thing. We're begging you, honey, please, just come home. Please just come home with us now. Please.
