(some of) What really happened during our Christmas getaway.

Restoration of the Iceboat wasn't completed, so there was none of that  over slush & water stuff hapnin (the Lake was barely frozen) but we raced these terrible junky cars on an oval track. I don't think we ever exceeded 90 km/h w/ our tires somewhat deflated for better traction on the "inclemency". The cars had no glass, like demo derby cars, but they DID have lights. Sherri and I had '70s Toyotas and there were several small-series Honda Civics. Our host Dave drove a Datsun (remember that name once used by Nissan?) pickup which was pretty quick! This
had to be the first time I'd driven a car unaccompanied since the previous millennium and despite the modest speeds, it WAS fun! I hope we get to do this again next year. ~ The food was too good -- I had to limit my portional  intake to keep to myweightlossdiet.ca ~ All in all, a GREAT 3 1/2 days!!

I saw a CRAFT last night.

It was on a trailer, towed by a big SUV and was kind-of SHIP-shaped. It was open, w/ a big wraparound windshield, so I'm pretty sure that it was man-made, maybe
 from the 1960s or '70s. Why it was being transported overland at this time of year, I have NO IDEA, but pojgfy pojr [poth] hmmdfl immn prahh kjner linf O-trap hilim
grr.

Four "grey" aliens traveling in a late '50s sedan  trying to look inconspicuous!
  What a great start to the 2012-13  Winter! Man! Don't the "greys' look like a

middle-aged bunch of Caucasian "rockers"? I surely think so! And you thought only reptilians could  'shape-shift'! ~ The "greys" 4sure blew it with the CAR, though --
that 3-tone sedan doesn't look inconspicuous AT ALL!

Expose' In The Making:

Did STARLINGS teach Santa's reindeer how to fly?
