The name is Bond, James Bond. No, really I am John Woodward, but I do admire the character who is sometimes shaken, but not stirred.

Bad Parking
I don't know why I let this bug me, but I really get irritated when I see someone parked over the line in a parking lot. This individual has chosen to take up two parking spaces for one vehicle. Its not like its some exotic car in most cases, either. Most of the time, they are ordinary machines. And they may be just over the line, or quite a bit over the line. Still, nobody wants to park next to them, and that is certainly understandable. Does anyone else notice this happening around you? I could take some pics showing licence plates and all, but I probably ought to write a nice note to ask the person to park properly. People get lazy or in a hurry for some reason, I suppose. Its probably folks who try to park while talking on their cell phone, don't you think?
Well, in a very short while, I understand I will be turning in this antiquated pager for a cell phone. It turns out that I was the only one with this old type of pager, so the company thought it made sense to give me a cell phone and get rid of the paging system. Makes sense to me.
Has anyone ever seen a tunnel spider web? I saw this one today while working in the yard. It is in a bush at the bottom of our yard. I would love to see what the spider looks like. Maybe I can check it out on the "web."
My cousin sent me the upper comic strip via snail mail. I had never heard of "Pickles." It seems like a cute little strip. I added in the following day's as well, since it was on the same theme. I enjoy telling jokes, and I know that it is very important that try to communicate well so that a senior will be able to understand it. How many of you have heard of Pickles?
Jodie Foster has a new movie coming out today called, The Brave One. From the trailers, it seems that this could be a female Death Wish, in that some thugs beat up the main character and murder loved ones and then the main character goes out and buys a gun--for protection of course. Then she becomes somewhat of a vigilante. It is said in one trailer that she may be becoming the very thing that she is trying to stop. Movies like this draw me in because you want to see the good guy win. The problem is that it gets confusing as to who the good "guy" is.
I saw the movie, Premonition, starring Sandra Bullock over the weekend. I thought it may have been related to Lake House, and if it was I would not have cared too much for it. But I digress. This is not a sequel or a remake, at least as far as I can tell. I would recommend this, but I can't tell you too much without verging on spoiling. It does make you wonder as most movies dealing with this subject do, can you change the outcome by intervening? Again, I can't say too much more so I will leave you with some pics.
OK, so I didn't get a round tuit last night, but I am getting a round tuit today. Here are a few more pics of cars that were at Fire Mountain on Saturday. The white 65 Comet Caliente reminds me of the red one my brother and I got to drive for a short while in high school. But hey, how 'bout those 30s Studebakers?
These were some of the vehicles shown at Fire Mountan in Kernersville on Saturday. Do I really need to say anything? They pretty much speak for themselves. I will put up a few more pics tonight. Maybe I will add a few more comments too. Which one(s) do you like?
