Me, too. I can close my eyes and I'm there...well, not in OK, but back in Kentucky. Back then, it didn't seem wise to work in the industry forever, so I left it to pursue a "career." Might have been better to stay. You don't know what you have until it's gone.

PD, thank you so much for posting. By the way, is that your Lab?

You're welcome - everyone.

LOL! No. He's a sweet boy belonging to one of Clement's workers. He does need a diet.

Here's a pic of our doggies - Rhodesian Ridgebacks..



Here's one of me (pic taken last weekend at Saratoga Auto Museum). If you see me at the track, please stop and say, "Hello!"

*sigh* That's it, I'm moving to Saratoga. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but I'll get there and I'll eat my weight in barbeque when I do.
