The wonderful 1929 Pierce Arrow MotoMeter temperature gauge. Still a neat idea in that you can see the temperature without taking your eye off the road.

Treasure Coast International Airport (IATA: FPR, ICAO: KFPR, FAA LID: FPR) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of the central business district of Fort Pierce, a city in St. Lucie County, Florida, United States. It is owned by the St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners.
The airport sees frequent use by various aviation flight schools in south Florida, including three based at the airport, for general aviation flight training traffic. The airport also hosts a Federal Inspection Station (FIS) administered by United States Customs & Border Protection, which makes it a frequent stop for private aircraft coming in and out of the Bahama Islands.
DayJet provided an on-demand jet air taxi service from this airport before suspending operation in September 2008.
The history of the airport dates back to 1921, when the Commercial Club of Fort Pierce built an airport where the local American Legion building now stands on U.S. Route 1 for an airline that never got off the ground. Nine years later, the county purchased 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) of land that eventually became the current airport; however, the first commercial airport was dedicated in 1935 in an area in the vicinity of U.S. Route 1 and Edwards Road.
The current airport, originally named Fort Pierce Airport, was leased during World War II by the U.S. Navy as an auxiliary field for pilots and flight crews from Naval Air Station Vero Beach, Naval Air Station Melbourne and Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale for conducting daytime and nighttime field carrier landing practice (FCLP) prior to landing on actual aircraft carriers. Scout aircraft, dive bombers and torpedo attack bombers used the runways, which were redesigned by the military to better accommodate naval aviation training requirements. In 1947, the Navy disestablished operations and the U.S. Government conveyed the airport back to the county, to include two newly constructed runways, without charging for the improvements made.
With little financial capital in county government to operate and maintain a modern airport, the facility languished for the next ten years, becoming overgrown with vegetation and subject to frequent grazing by cattle from nearby farms and ranches. During the 1960s and 1970s, major improvements took off with the construction of an airport terminal, modern hangars, airfield lighting, navigational aids and fuel facilities. Curtis King, who became the first full-time director in 1967, played an instrumental role in the development of the county's airport for 31 years.
Fort Pierce briefly saw commercial airline service in 1988 when Delta Connection, operated by Comair on behalf of Delta Air Lines provided flights to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale using Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante commuter aircraft.
The airport continued to evolve as a general aviation facility, and even though two of four runways were decommissioned, one such former runway became the site of the Airport West Commerce Park, while Runway 9R/27L (later renamed 10R/28L) was lengthened and improved.
Runway 10L/28R was completed in early 2010, costing $15.3 million. The recent completion of a north–south connector taxiway between training runway 10L/28R and runway 10R/28L reduced the need for training aircraft to use one of the primary runways for takeoffs and landings at the beginning and/or end of training flights, respectively.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Never in a million years did I ever imagine that I would find such a "gimmicky" ballerina doll to be so alluring. Growing up, I had a particular distaste for dolls on specialty bodies, such as the one featured on this Teresa doll (my gal on the right is on the correct body). I suppose it was because I liked to have the freedom to do whatever I pleased with a doll, and I felt that gimmicks got in the way of that. They often times hindered my imagination from doing everything it desired, so I ended up shunning dolls with special bodies/features. As an adult, I've become more open minded to gimmicky dolls, such as these two Teresa dollies. That's because I have learned to enjoy all dolls, and since I don't play with dolls all the time anymore, I don't need to fixate on what dolls are the most versatile for play or for clothing options. On Memorial Day 2014, my sister and I found a massive, grey container stuffed to the gills with Barbie stuff. The dolls, clothes, and other contents of this lot (which we named the "Memorial Day bin") were filthy. And by filthy, I mean that they left a dirt trail behind them on our living room carpet. Colleen and I didn't even want to identify the dolls or their clothes prior to washing them because everything was so downright disgusting. I found several doll heads floating around the bottom of the container. One of them was the Teresa doll on the left hand side of the photo. Finding her body-less gave me the chance to appreciate the one thing she still had left--that gorgeous face. I absolutely adore her beautiful brown/purple eyes. Plus, her silky saran, brown hair is breathtaking. I was eager to find her a body, and was actually somewhat disappointed that I didn't have a more appropriate body donor in storage for her (she's currently on a Olympic USA Skater body). This Teresa doll needed a little extra love than the average flea market rescue. Not only was she filthy, but she was also decapitated for who knows how long. She's wormed a special place in my heart since the day we first met. She is most certainly one of the most gorgeous Teresa dolls in my collection, and I'm very proud to call her my own.
I was just as excited about finding my duplicated Twirling Ballerina Teresa as I had been about discovering my first. Two years later, in 2016, I found my second doll (on the right) in the "Teresa lot." She was one of many Teresa dolls I got from that particular bin of dollies. You would think that my first gal would have been in worse condition, considering that loose heads rolling around the bottoms of doll containers tend to take the greatest beatings. But on the contrary, I have found that dolls who are just heads tend to fair better in the hair department than those who are on bodies. For instance, Julia, my 1987 Doctor Barbie, was often times separated from her body when I was growing up. Like my first Twirling Ballerina Teresa, she spent most of her time as a loose head, with matted hair, sitting at the bottom of my doll drawer/container. But both of these unlucky gals turned out to have beautiful, silky soft hair beneath the surface dreadlocks. My second Twirling Ballerina Teresa doll was not nearly as lucky. I have a hunch that her previous owner enjoyed blow drying his/her dolls. I found some evidence of burn damage on a few of the dolls that came from the "Teresa lot." This girl had some very short, wiry bits of hair around her hairline, particularly at the top of her scalp, where a blow dryer would make the most contact. I boil washed her several times, but despite all my efforts, her hair did not clean up nearly as well as my first Twirling Ballerina Teresa doll's hair. Even though she isn't as beautiful as my first doll, nor are her tresses as lovely, she is a babe nonetheless. These two dolls have subtly different looking faces. I assume that they were different country makes, but since my first doll's body is long gone, and since her head is not marked on the inside rim, I'll never know for sure. It's amazing how the most ordinary dolls can become some of my favorites. I never thought that I'd be so fond of two gimmicky ballerina Teresa dolls. I love them with all my heart, and I hope that they have finally found peace with their new family.
"Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.""

Today, 15 September, is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. The heart pierced with seven swords is her symbol.
