    Out for a spin

    Cool, thanks for sharing. The town I grew up in was Haysville Kansas. While I was a kid, it was called the Peach Capital of the World. There were thousands of trees in huge orchards. I worked at one when I was in my early teens.
    If you go to Haysville now, I don't think you would find a single peach tree.
    It is believed that the oil companies pumped salt water underground to extract more oil which killed off all the peach trees along with thousands of the huge elm trees in that area.
    I used to go out in the summer, sit in those peach trees and eat them all day. Wonderful memories. Larry

    Dennis - these days I think all of our cool bars are low.

    Is that a vintage or reproduction bumper sticker? Was it on the car when you got it?

    25,000 miles!

    Wow! I have now put over 25,000 miles on The Wonder Falcon! That has averaged at about 5,000 a year. The car runs marvelously and is super fun to drive.

    Hello, Roger. It is a magnetic reproduction. I save images of bumper stickers from the internet and then upload them at buildasign.com . The stickers give people that are sitting behind me in traffic something to look at. I have a collection of period stickers and alternate them. Here are a few:
