DA old timers  

This was one of mothers sleds. It's been sitting too long, so I shipped it to Florida. Only 17K miles (1987 560sel). I plan to drive it. I think.
I do,
Aunt Mark

Nice color. Yes you should drive it. Can you have someone make you a chauffeur's jacket and hat in an appropriate print . . . for when you take the boys and girls out to lunch, or up to that amusement park for a festive outing . . .?

Why thanks, handsome. I've driven the monster over the last couple of days. The license plates are long expired (no chance of a ticket...I like this town.), updated tags are in the mail. I think that the beast gets about 11 mpg in town with the air blowing on frostbite. Amazing build quality. No squeaks/ no rattles/ no issues (just like me). Very tight machine.
I only wish that it were 20 years older...and perhaps a different color combo. I found 2 headscarfs, several non-paid parking tickets, and a pair of large sunglasses in the glovebox (plus a map of Illinois, a nail file, and a box of tissues..1 used..ick (lipstick blot)). I am set. Road trip anyone? Reclining rear back seat (back) , shop's open. Yup.
All the best,
Your Aunt.Mark

oh heck,
Hi.
I do,
Aunt Mark
ps I like my pant today, and I blend with the old car just right. Hi.

Perfect. I still want to see throw pillows for the back seat, in that print . . .
I'm not sure what this is -- but there wasn't any noise, and it happened a few minutes ago, to the west -- so I guess it's a sunset.

Divine sky, SDR! Simply divine. I like the idea of viewing elevated topography whilst glancing west. Very powerful sunsets, I'm sure. My thought today is that if I were to flee my building (due to fire, flood, or a trip to the liquor store, I'd wear my coral colored patent leather shoes (next to the red patent leather pair). They make me happy. I would. Hi.
yup,
Aunt Mark
ps hope to see most of you at the D/A Labor Day cookout this weekend! I chipped a tooth last year bobbing for rotten apples. There will be a kissing booth this year*. Bring exact change, plus applicable tax. Hand towel provided, air conditioned. Hi. Tax deductible.
*Mouthwash provided, French extra, Must be over 21, excludes additional fee's, subject to availability, see Eameshead for details. Equal opportunity. No waiting.

Oh, Hi!
Yard bird roasting in the oven, and light rainfall/sunfall with a real rainbow outdoors. I feel pretty.
I do,
Aunt Mark

Yow.
Question: Do they dump their excess orange juice in your bay, on Saturdays ? How does it affect the surfers ?
It sure looks cool with the lavender water and rainbows. Wait -- are you tripping ? Or is it me . . .

Holy cow yow!
Actually it was 2 rainbows and 3 pots of gold..and never enough surfers.
Yup,
Aunt Mark

"Trump love rainbow…."
I wonder what cave women thought of rainbows. Probably the same as us, right?
In addition to rainbows and coral loafers, Mark does get some killer cloud varieties going each and every day.
I particularly enjoy the giant nimbostratus and cumulonimbus sneaking in at the far left of today's picture.
If I had a view of THOSE clouds every day, I would find it almost impossible to leave the deck. EVER. Even for the Labor Day Cookout. (But maybe the cookout IS on the deck?)
I already spend way too much time being mesmerized by the SF bay area atmospheric conditions (as well as various fiberglass occurrences).

I think Mark should buy his building, then create a great cantilevered deck far out from his balcony, to take in even more of the scene. It would make a dandy architectural accent on the exterior of the structure.
Mark, can you forward or post an overall view of your building ? I can get my SketchUp board glowing . . .
As I write, I'm watching a nighttime portage of the massive steel-cage base -- the first of eighteen similar pieces, to be stacked and bolted together -- of the spire of the new World Trade Center, from the harbor to the site. Now they will lift it to its place atop the nearly completed tower.

80 percent chance of rainbows tonight. More soon. No charge.
Hi,
Aunt Mark

Gaugin color. A "fleshy fantasmagorical resonance" abounds just outside...
And the best part is it changes every second.
More than anyone could ask for.
Why don't they make yards with the big McMansions any more? Is that eighth bedroom and fifth bath REALLY necessary? I worry.
Anyway. I love the way the clouds capture light and at times, BECOME the light source. Glowing from within. Always a surprise, and never the same.
Yes SDR, build a giant shark fin off of Mark's floor, that floats out into the middle of THAT!

CONSUMER WARNING. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE BEAM OF LIGHT. CONDITIONS MAY APPLY.
Rainbows make me sick
false pot of gold in a tooth
