Long exposure shot of the fireworks over Louisville during Thunder, which I still done't quite understand...


Nate Bandit Welding a scissor jack onto our axle; it worked great all the way back to Goshen!


Max Mojo's loaner after he T-boned a car that cut him off; one of three bad accidents of the rally. Amazingly he was walking around the next day.

Juicy Tidbits from Walker Percy

Faith, I would think, is the actual belief that what one hopes for is attainable. A man dying of thirst in the desert may hope for water and have no faith that he will get it. But suppose there is a second man, who stands atop the next dune and makes a signal to him, perhaps with semaphores, signifying two H's and an O. Now the first man is entitled to faith.

I would agree with Flannery O'Connor that if she spends three hours in the morning writing, she has to spend the rest of the day getting over it. This doesn't leave much time for square dancing. Bourbon is better anyhow.
