DA old timers  

Ha ! It's weird to have one's youth exposed to oneself, unexpectedly. Best wishes.
And . . . he's almost smiling. Things are looking up ?

Ok. Hi.
I stopped at my favorite local resale store to buy a book to read on the jet plane..and this was inside.
Ok. Hi,
Aunt Mark
ps _. Ok.

Hah ! My first Aunt Mark screen-shot. Try to delete THIS one, Boopsie !
I mean, I have to study it first. I take it you wouldn't have found that precious little volume in your local library. And, it's a very pretty shot . . .

Hi!
Full moon tonight! Howard Moon tonight! Bad moon tonight!
Be ready,
Aunt Mark
ps I like my pants today. Hi.

***** ******* *****
The cloud opens up
dampness and dank rot the sky
good time for shopping.

Love,
Aunt Mark

that's a rotten sky?
then I'll take it any day
as good drama looms

Aunt Mark! have you been following the stories about Captain Cheetoh's "charities"?! I think of you every time I read some new dirt they have on the whole shady empire---because you were actually at one once, i mean. This Washington Post article has the first photo I've ever seen of one of the two paintings of Trump that that speed painter guy did (5-7 minutes total so you know it's great art), which Trump ended up buying with Trump Foundation money that other people donated. And then he hung one of them at one of his golf courses. They're not sure what became of the smaller one.

Why good morning Spanky!
I simply can't stop looking away from a train wreck with small hands.
Fondly,
Your Aunt Mark

and I still have no licensee plate tags on the old sled, so I've been driving the old MINI. The big boy can't leave the island without proper tags. I'd be too nervous.
Carry on,
Aunt Mark
(Edit) The old Benz has a well designed tail light. Hi.

Yes it does. I'm sure you recall that M-B says that the deep ribs to the lens are designed to provide visibility of the taillights even when they are muddy or dusty -- as in, say, the Gobi Desert, or perhaps after a Safari trek . . . ?

Hi SDR!
The links are simply brilliant! And thanks for the tail lamp tidbit. The old Benz might just be the perfect machine for a road trip to
Burning man 2017. Maybe.
Ever burned?
Aunt Mark

Never did. Too dusty.
Last year a city cop stopped me, two blocks from my home, and gave me a ticket for my roof rack, on the pretext that it was hindering visibility from the driver's seat. Two days earlier Burning Man had come to a close, and I think he thought he would be stopping a dirty old hippy just back from BM!
Hah -- and my car wasn't even covered in schmutz like so many in town are, that week. Fool . . .

Heck SDR!
Wasn't it old Mitt Romney that strapped a pet dog and 2 kids to his roof rack? And maybe his wife?
Now today I have frosted a cake that I baked last evening ( the cake needs to chill in its spring form pan overnight). 'tis a chocolate cake. Recipe calls for a bottle of beer. Rolling Rock works just fine. Dinner at 7. Dancing at 9. Cocktails anytime. Hurry.
Hello,
Aunt Mark
ps butter cream frosting.

Yow. I wannit. The whole thing, cake stand and all. My address is . . .

Why Lovechunks,
I already set you a place near the coffee service. Objectworship and woodywood will be here, so you'll (y'all) know half the guest list. Bring a pet.
hi,
Aunt Mark
ps please notice and listen for the Raymond Loewy (Rosenthal) dinner bell. It has a lovely "faint chime", Oh so civilized.
