I've never understood



And this one seems a little (but not a lot) weird too. This is actually not bad.

Shrimp and grits are great. I had them the first time at the Pink House in Savannah, GA and immediately though, I will have shrimp and grits again!

We have a local Cajun restaurant that has them as a entree. Just great.








Really, that is a cake!


I remember those days. I could dig in the couch cushions and find enough change to get gas and go out on Friday Night.

Ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a covered wagon? Well, now you can at Orr Family Farms in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! But these covered wagons are not like those of yore, which is why the farm calls it "glamping."

The Curiosity rover's wheels after 10 years on the rugged Martian terrain.
Curiosity has 6 wheels, each about 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diameter. The wheels are made of aluminum and have cleats for traction and curved titanium spokes for springy support. This thin and unique design helps the rover move over rocks and sandy surfaces, while the flexible spokes minimize damage from the rugged landscape.
An interesting aspect of Curiosity's wheels is the special pattern of holes they have. As the rover moves, these holes imprint a pattern on the Martian surface, spelling out "JPL" (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in Morse code, the NASA center responsible for the rover.


The small dot is Mercury in front of the sun.

[QUOTE=GH85Carrera;12139780]

Bobby Allison ran in the first IROC. He's still alive and kicking here in North Carolina. Had a chance to speak with him last Spring. He said he prepped for the IROC race by purchasing a 911 from Barrier-Beck in Charlotte so he could practice a little. I sure wish I knew where that car was.
