And a 1984 Corvette? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Mid 1980s vettes are total POS cars. When did you see anyone drive a stock 80s Vette to an autocross or cars and coffee.



Getting kinda hot?

Purple frog
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_frog

Quote:
Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis is a frog species belonging to the family Sooglossidae. It can be found in the Western Ghats in India. Names in English that have been used for this species are purple frog, Indian purple frog, or pignose frog. Although the adult frog was formally described in October 2003,[2] the taxon was recognized much earlier by its tadpole, which had been described in 1918.[3] With its closest relatives in the Seychelles, Nasikabatrachus is thought to have evolved separately for millions of years. Its discovery also adds to the evidence that Madagascar and the Seychelles separated from the Indian landmass sometime well after the breakup of Gondwana had started.
Brought to the attention of the world in 2003.....................maybe there is a Big Foot, Thunderbird and Chupacabra.

I was looking through some of my old family photos and this commercial album was in there. It was sold to tourists in the 1960s sometime. There is no publishing info or date anywhere in the 10 page book. Just photos of Waikiki area in the 1960s. We lived there when it became a state in 1959 and until 1963 and again from 1967 to 1971.

The booklet is titled Romantic Waikiki and it has space on the back side to put postage on it and places for addresses so it could be mailed like a postcard.

Figure 2: A 3D view of the velocity field.

It is shown here by means of the flow streamlines (in black–blue, left panel) and of the anti-flow (in yellow–red, right panel). Anti-flow is defined here by the negative (namely, the reverse) of the velocity field.

My grandmother used to go there to clean hotel rooms so she could work where other people vacationed. She reasoned that people worked all year to spend a week there, but she could stay as long as she wanted. I'm pretty sure I saw images like the ones you posted when I was young, great stuff.
