1961 Cadillac 60 Special Sedan, Fontana Rose color, interior original, 3 owner, original price: $6,233, and it got 14 MPG highway with 12 MPG city streets.

“Oh, but what a 12 MPG it was,” George said laughing.

Thursday night, why that non-traditional opening night I don’t know, we went to the Automotive Museum’s newest opening. Post WWII cars. Yes, we had fun, yes, too, the food was pretty good. The cars were spectacular…if you like finned monsters. We do.

Friday was a no rain day, but hot, humid, wet days followed. Work was air conditioned, and finally G turned the house AC on to cool us down a bit when the world turned 90 degrees and 100% humidity. Saturday at six, Thor tossed his hammer around, and I levitated up rapidly. You would have laughed at me.

Sunday was lunch at the Prado and “Kiss Me Kate” in the middle of more downpour. It was delightful tho the leading lady was a little shrill. This morning after the pool, I took all of our good clothes to the cleaners. We have been social, and even more social this last week. Today it’s back to reality with work for the Great Geezer and a Doctor’s appointment for me.

Boy it was a great 12 MPG.


  • Himself: Working on subrogating wrecks.
  • Herself: Loved finding Mike C, one of my childhood next-door neighbors with new to me wife and kids at “Kate.”
  • Reading: MacNeal’s, “The Prime Minister’s Secret Agent.”
  • Gratitudes: The pool was a great temperature this morning.
