in the bustling heart of palma’s placa mayor, the spectacle of preparation for the EM public viewing takes a comedic turn. a large screen precariously balanced on coca-cola crates speaks volumes about the improvisational spirit of the local eateries. patrons lounge under the protective canopy, seemingly oblivious to the haphazard setup just a few feet away. the tattooed figure fiddling with a phone and the bemused expressions of onlookers add to the scene’s unintentional irony. this black-and-white capture isn’t just about a community gearing up for a shared event; it’s a snapshot of delightful chaos, where professionalism is a distant afterthought, and creativity reigns supreme in the most unexpected forms.
UPDATE! It is now an official, ok not really, Ron made it for me, but it is now a contest:
"The Oran Cruzen Crate Derby Contest"

Hubby and I roamed around a local antique store over the weekend, and I carried my camera around. I even braved some weird looks from fellow browsers when I took shots of random items! :)
This is a stack of crates I found shoved into a corner of one of the mini-shops. I just thought they were kind of cool....

After Apple Picking
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still.
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
Beside it, and there may be two or three
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now.
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
The scent of apples; I am drowsing off.
I cannot shake the shimmer from my sight
I got from looking through a pane of glass
I skimmed this morning from the water-trough,
And held against the world of hoary grass.
It melted, and I let it fall and break.
But I was well
Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
And I could tell
What form my dreaming was about to take.
Magnified apples appear and reappear,
Stem end and blossom end,
And every fleck of russet showing clear.
My instep arch not only keeps the ache,
It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
And I keep hearing from the cellar-bin
That rumbling sound
Of load on load of apples coming in.
For I have had too much
Of apple-picking; I am overtired
Of the great harvest I myself desired.
There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
For all
That struck the earth,
No matter if not bruised, or spiked with stubble,
Went surely to the cider-apple heap
As of no worth.
One can see what will trouble
This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.
Were he not gone,
The woodchuck could say whether it's like his
Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,
Or just some human sleep.

Dave Clanton's CPO crate engine resto-mod proposal: the performance and efficiency of modern crate motors and transmissions coupled with the significantly lighter weight of cars from the 1970s and 80s could yield >30-60 MPG with an exhilarating driving experience. Subcompacts to full size cars have increased by 900-1,500 lbs because of government mandated changes and consumer demand for larger vehicles when gas prices were low. An automaker could capitalize on this revolutionary opportunity three-fold. First, increase sales of new cars by offering substantial trade-in values comparable to those offered in the Cash for Clunkers US Govt program of about $4,000 per qualifying makes/models targeting cars with solid bodies and frames regardless of engine condition. Secondly, recondition the trade-ins with new crate motors and transmissions while also restoring the rest of the car to a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) condition and sell them with full power train warranties and long term financing. Thirdly, this restoration and crate engine installation would gainfully employ service departments at dealers across the nation. Modern four cylinder and V8 engine swap designs already exist for dozens of domestic and import makes/models. The appeal of retro styling amongst buyers of all ages is evident by new car sales of Mini, Beetle, Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Charger, Fiat 500, etc. Lastly, in regards to the all important environmental impact it would reduce CO2 emissions by replacing gross polluter power trains with modern modern EPA compliant power trains.
- Example of optimum efficiency would be a 1978-80 Ford Fiesta which weighs 1,576 lbs with a crate motor 2.0L direct injection 4-cyl from a 2011 Ford Focus which weighs 2,500 lbs. The heavier 2011 has an EPA rating of 28 MPG city/40 MPG hwy. The nearly 1,000 lb lighter 78-80 Fiesta could likely achieve 50-60 MPG with a modern drive train while also appealing to buyers with much greater acceleration.
- Example of efficient performance would be a 1974-78 Ford Mustang II which weighs 2,600 lbs with a crate motor 412 HP aluminum 302 Coyote V8 or a 305 HP 3.7L Duratec V6 from a 2011 Ford Mustang which weighs 5,500 lbs. The heavier 2011 Mustang V6 has an EPA rating of 19 MPG city/31 MPG hwy. The nearly 900 lb lighter 74-78 Mustang II could likely achieve 30-40 MPG with a modern drive train while also appealing to buyers with much greater acceleration.
- Dozens of qualifying makes/models include: 61-00 Mini and Clubman, 78-80 Ford Fiesta, 73-79 Civic, 74-78 Mustang II, 79-93 Fox-body Mustang/Capri, 71-80 Pinto, 70-77 Maverick, hot rods e.g. 32 Ford, kit cars e.g. Cobra, GT40, and Sebring, vintage pickup truck e.g. 75 Ford F150, 59-68 Sunbeam Alpine and 64-67 Sunbeam Tiger, 78-88 Zimmer, 90-97 Mazda Miata, 62-80 MG MGB, 74-00 Volvos e.g. 200, 700, 850, and S70/V70 series, 84-96 Mercedes W124, 70-81 F-body Camaro/Firebird, 82-92 F-body Camaro/Firebird, 74-82 C3 Corvette Stingray, 82-88 G-platform Regal, Cutlass, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, 09-10 Kappa-platform Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky, 94-04 Aston Martin DB7, Porsche 911 and 914, 68-94 Jaguar XJ and other vintage Jags e.g. Mark IX, 82-94 BMW E30, 59-69 Chevrolet Corvair, 71-77 Chevy Vega, 70-78 Datsun 240Z, 260Z, and 280Z, 79-91 Mazda RX7, 75-81 Triumph TR7 and TR8, 75-80 AMC Pacer, 70-78 AMG Gremlin.

A spot of still life practice in amongst the madness that is life!

Fits snugly into a small 12x14x4 crate. These small star fighters were designed with a minimalist approach in order to fit into shipping crates, hence the nickname 'Matchbox Fighter'. Manufacturers can load entire fleets into space freighters and deliver directly to deployment vessels. The fighter is already prepped for combat right out of the crate, this makes the fighter a combat favorite for many organizations.
I took this because of the spaces in the grate - look how they gradually change. Might work better without the frames on the left side, but I left them in as a point of reference
