After my statement on the Chevelle I posted, Harry prompted me to get into the hobby of restoring cars. So, I went out and purchased a time machine and went back to 1978 or so and started working on this car with my father.
This car has a long history in my family and what you see in these pictures is the result of the second restoration of the car. In actuality, this is something of a Frankenstein vehicle because it's only part of the Javelin my father originally purchased. The main chassis of this car is completely different from what was used in the original restoration but the doors, hood, grill, front fenders, front bumper, interior, and engine are from the first go-round. Suffice it to say that the reason that there was a second restoration was primarily because I managed to get into a pretty nasty wreck with the first finished product.
These were taken just shortly after Dad and I essentially completed the project in 2001. Even though I did a lot of work on this, my father poured far more hours into it than I did but he and I own it jointly nowadays. This was a great experience and it brought me back to a better relationship with my father than I'd had beforehand but it also convinced me that I am not cut out to be a restorer of old cars. I really enjoy looking at them and driving them but I really don't feel the need to put that level of work into another one. Like I said, I need a close friend with a musclecar collection that needs me to drive 'em for him every once in a while.

Knott's Berry Farm is a 160-acre theme park in Buena Park, California, owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. The theme park sits on the site of a former berry farm established by Walter Knott, Cordelia Knott, and their family. Beginning around 1920, the Knott family sold berries, berry preserves, and pies from a roadside stand along State Route 39. In 1934, the Knotts began selling fried chicken dinners in a tea room on the property, and the Knotts built several shops and other attractions to entertain visitors. Cordelia Knott's efforts in the Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant were essential to putting Knott's Berry Farm on the map, and the ensuing crowds prompted the creation of even more tourist attractions. In 1940, Walter Knott began constructing a replica Ghost Town on the property. Knott added several other attractions over the years, and began charging admission to the attractions in 1968. In 1983, Knott's Berry Farm added Camp Snoopy, which began the park's present-day association with the Peanuts characters.
The project is developed using various pre-set text-to-image models, processing text prompt inputs. On the borderline between sensitive content and an easy slip into topics of violence, this project visualizes the depths of the subconscious of these models, excavating the influences of media and online information exchange. The quantified traces of reality and collective histories allow algorithms to generate content that recycles the past – building the spine of quasi-historical narratives – often obfuscated with prejudice and misinformation, along with the author’s personal bias. Generated outputs are presented inside a hypertext object – a tent that the audience can enter, as it were.

Coming to Jones Road Part 1
This series was prompted by Ringgold's move from Harlem to Englewood, New Jersey, in 1992 and the resistance she experiences from the predominantly white neighbourhood when she was building a new studio. In response to this hostility, she researched the journey of escaped slaves from the Southern to Northern American states on the Underground Railroad to New Jersey. The landscapes in this series are inspired by the woodland garden at her house and studio on Jones Road, coincidentally also Ringgold's maiden name.

From Faith Ringgold
(June to September 2019)
As an artist, activist and children’s author Faith Ringgold (b. 1930, Harlem, New York) has challenged perceptions of African American identity and gender inequality for over five decades. Growing up in the creative and intellectual context of the Harlem Renaissance and inspired by her contemporaries including writers James Baldwin and Amiri Baraka she is widely recognised for her painted story quilts combining personal narratives, history and politics ‘to tell my story, or, more to the point, my side of the story’, as an African American woman.
This survey exhibition, Ringgold’s first in a European institution, is chronological and includes paintings, political posters and story quilts. It begins with American People (1963 – 67), a series that exposes social inequalities and racial tensions she witnessed during the Civil Rights era, and culminates in her response to the Black Power movement. In the 1970s, her work and politics embraced feminism as she led protests outside New York museums demanding equal gender and racial representation in exhibitions, designed political posters and co-organised the People’s Flag Show for which she was arrested.
Ringgold’s paintings shifted in the 1970s from traditional oils to her first unstretched works bordered with pieced fabric, inspired by Tibetan tanka paintings. The exhibition includes her tankas from the Feminist, Slave Rape and abstract Windows of the Wedding Series Ringgold made in collaboration with her mother Willi Posey, a fashion designer. This led in the 1980s to Ringgold’s first story quilts where she was able to finally ‘publish’ her writings. She said ‘there’s so much freedom in “Freedom of Speech”, I could write whatever I wanted on my art – no one could stop me’. These works weave image and text in the tradition of quilting passed on through the female line of her family from her great-great grandmother who was born into slavery. From Harlem rooftops and jazz clubs, to a graffiti-filled New York subway and a radical biography of Aunt Jemima, the face of a pancake mix brand, Ringgold’s affirmative quilts celebrate a myriad of life, culture and aspiration. Her later quilt series Coming to Jones Road and the American Collection return to voice African American histories, including that of the Underground Railroad. As cultural assumptions and prejudices persist, Ringgold’s work retains its contemporary resonance.

One thing about working faster (Prompt A Day, ya know...) is that I have to give up some of my fidgety perfectionist worrying. Can't cry over something when it doesn't work out the way I'd hoped. WIth this one, I used a freaking gluestick over damp paper. The focal image was on very thick glossy paper. And overnight the image wrinkled and buckled -- I think it's a combination of the paper, glue and dampness. C'est la vie.
Another interesting combination of colors on the background. This is a really weak journal to work in...the paper is not so great, but part of the Prompt A Day process is to work with what you have. So...this paper sucks. It's too thin, and started to really rub off when I worked each layer of paint. HOWEVER -- the end result is so super rich. I can't wait to try these colors on something sturdier. They remind me of some Klimt color combination. It's really rich.
I'd pick fresh bread or something salty over most sweets. I think some of that is from working as a bakery manager for 10 years...I made a lot of sweet stuff over those years. This page made me think of my sister's blue ribbon county fair prize-winning brownies, some incredible pies I've had over the years, Sweet Life Bakery's berry custard cake, lovely creamy eclairs and my grandma's yeasted cinnamon rolls. I'm also very tempted this time of year by peanut butter cups and York peppermint patties. But the rest of the year, not so much of a candy eater.
I do love cute/cute/sweet things -- I've had on-going love affair with HK for probably 30 years. If that kitty was made of chocolate I wouldn't eat it...I'd build a shrine to it!

Let me start by stating Miss Sarie is doing great! I decided to take her this morning to Prince William Emergency Veterinary Clinic because she had several symptoms over the last 24 hours that caused me concern. Since it has only been a little over 3 weeks since her surgery, I thought it was better to err on the side of caution.
It started yesterday morning when she didn't eat her breakfast..but she does that sometimes. Then last night she wouldn't eat her dinner...hummm, now I was getting concerned. Then at about 9:45 PM last night she had a small seizure. I quickly grabbed her emergency seizure medications and gave them to her rectally. She immediately came out of her seizure. She wasn't done with me yet though...about a half hour later she decided to have a bloody stool mixed with a little mucus. During the night she woke me up with dry heaves... but never produced anything. She quickly settled back to sleep. Then this morning...again, she wouldn't eat her breakfast. A little after 9:30 this morning she had very very loose stools and then promptly vomited what little she had in her. It was just water... So I said.....enough is enough, we are going for a ride little girl!
I decided to try Prince William Emergency Veterinary Clinic because I had just learned about their existence and had heard good things about them... so off we went for a Sunday morning ride... When we arrived Miss Sarie was welcomed with squeals of delight. All of the staff made a large fuss over her which of course made them great in my book! Nothing turns me off to a medical office quicker than a support staff that has attitude! I just happened to have a bag of her calendars and other literature in the car so I passed them out to everybody.
Then we went to a examination room where a very nice Vet Tech took down all of Miss Sarie's symptoms. Miss Sarie decided to get real cute and roll around flirting her butt off... She didn't look one bit sick! So I let the nice Vet Tech know that she didn't act sick when she had pyometra either... and she was on death's door!
Then the Dr. arrived. He was a very nice man with a lovely manner. He gave Miss Sarie a very through examination and asked me a lot of questions. Miss Sarie had grabbed his heart before he even came into the room because he had already seen her calendar and read her story. He decided to have a blood test done. I was happy for that because I feared she was harboring an infection. The blood work came back perfect! Whew... what a relief that was. He gave her subq fluids with some Vit B and Famotidine and said no food or water for 12 hours.
By the time we were through with our visit she was in tip top form... You would had no idea she had such awful symptoms over the last 24 hours if I didn't tell you!
Thank you Dr. Smith and Jackie, Lina, and Christina too!

Miss Sarie isn't feeling well. I have the car warming up because I am going to take her to the Prince William Emergency Veterinary Clinic. She wouldn't eat yesterday and today she started throwing up and has very loose stools. She won't eat today either. I am afraid to wait. She may have an infection that needs immediate treatment.
I will let you all know as soon as I get home. It is 9:55 on Sunday the 29th of April...
"It all started in 2005. He started torturing me for money both physically and mentally. He used to strike me with wooden sticks, punch me and kick me. I did not go to the police station because there was every chance my husband would find out about it."
In Bhubaneswar, a 45-year-old Indian housewife, wishing to remain anonymous, suffered beatings at the hands of her businessman husband who relentlessly demanded more dowry money after their marriage for the entirety of a decade. She concealed the bruises on her battered body and remained silent, in fear of her husband, the collective opinion of her family and neighbors, and in mistrust of the police.
In September, she was informed about a new ATM-type of machine, stationed in an accessible part of her city, that allowed women to anonymously report crimes. This news prompted her to take the the first step toward freedom. At the machine-booth, she recorded her testimony through a built-in microphone, detailing the years of violence she’s survived. Within days, her abusive husband was arrested and charged with dowry torture and harassment. This woman is only one of a small, but growing number of women in the eastern city of Bhubaneswar who are shattering the negative stigma associated with crimes such as domestic violence, dowry abuse and rape by using the Instant Complaint Logging Internet Kiosk (iClik). The iClik is the brainchild of Joydeep Nayak, head of Odisha police's human rights unit, who came up with the idea after the high-profile gang rape and murder of the 23-year-old woman aboard a Delhi bus in December 2012. “In India you will hardly find a woman going to the police station. If you have to empower the women (to report crimes), then iClik is a solution," he stated.
Domestic violence in India is a complex issue. As with its impacts, some causes of violence are easy to see, others are deeply rooted in our social and cultural environment forcing victims to keep silent about their experiences, considered even as a normal part of their life. Fewer than 9% of women victims who have survived violent abuse seek aid. With the advent and, hopefully, the widespread usage and implementation of the iClik, more women will stand up.
The woman who endured a decade of beatings now works as a social worker at a local charity. ”For women like me, who cannot go to the police station, for fear of further trouble and social ostracism, iClik is a great relief. I have told many women and girls to use the machine."

Chesterfield Missouri, November 2014
There is a better angle to take a picture of the gate and church, but there is currently an ugly "birthday cake" sculpture that would be smack dab in the middle and would ruin the shot.
Brief History of the OLD STONE CHURCH
The Reverend Mr. Giddings was a missionary representing the Connecticut Home Missionary Society. In 1816 he was invited to bring the Presbyterian Church to the St. Louis area at the written request of Stephen Hempstead, an early settler and a Presbyterian. Giddings met with the settlers in the Spring, but they needed to attend to the harvest of their crops. They asked him to return after the harvest. So he went south to establish the first Presbyterian Church west of the Mississippi at Caledonia, MO.
(So that's why the "Old Stone Church" is the second oldest Presbyterian Church west of the Mississippi instead of the oldest).
After the harvest, he returned and organized Bonhomme Presbyterian Church at the home of Capt. Joesph Conway on October 4, 1816. The first service was held on October 6, 1816 at the home of Elizabeth Smith (known as Widow Smith). Among the charter members were Stephen Hempstead, eminent Revolutionary War patriot, and father of Edward Hempstead, Missouri's first delegate to Congress, and the wife of Joseph Conway Sr., who served as a captain in the War of 1812 and was an associate of Daniel Boone.
In 1841 Joseph Conway Jr. donated the land for the Old Stone Church, and the congregation was reorganized. The congregation hired a professional stone mason and carpenter, and some of the construction was done by church members. Records show that one of the church deacons helped cut down the timber and made the shingles. The building was constructed of limestone quarried from a nearby farm, and held together with quarried lime and sand mortar.
Inside, the church was almost as plain as the exterior. The sturdy, cushion-less white wooden benches seated about 60 persons on the first floor. Space for another 40 was available on benches in a “slave” balcony.
A parlor-size pump organ sits at the front of the church. This organ was purchased for $35 in 1896 from the revenues of several ice cream socials and sun-bonnet sales by the Ladies’ Aid Society. The following year, they spent $12.56 for pulpit furniture and $6 for common in-grain woven carpeting.
The sanctuary of the three story solid stone church was constructed higher off the ground than most contemporary churches to allow room for a school and schoolmaster’s quarters on ground level. Kerosene lamps provide the artificial light in the sanctuary. The lamp brackets on the columns have metal reflectors, to cast significant light when needed at night.
The Church was active until the outbreak of the Civil War during which it was closed by the military. After the War, many members moved from the Bonhomme area. With the new immigrants, the details membership declined severely. By 1955, the congregation consisted of only three members. When one of those members. Miss Annie Yokel, died in 1956, she left a bequest to Bonhomme which contributed significantly to the purchase of the property, a half mile to the west, where the current Church is located.
in January 1959, when the Reverend Dr. Herbert H. Watson took over as pastor, there where only six members. Later that year, new church buildings, buildings, consisting of a chapel, educational building and manse were built at a site a half mile west of the old location. These buildings were dedicated on November 15. 1959. The main sanctuary we use today was dedicated on October 6, 1967.
With the completion of the new building, the Old Stone Church lay idle, visited only by special request. In 1967, a team from the Historical American Building Survey measured and diagrammed the Old Stone Church building and site. By this time building, the condition of the church had deteriorated, particularly the north wall with cracks that allowed daylight to be easily seen. A movement within the church to restore the old structure was forming when, in the spring of 1969, vandals defaced and practically destroyed the sanctuary of the Old Stone Church. This prompted Bonhomme's Session to establish a committee to care for the "Old Stone Church" and its cemetery.
The building is currently used only for special events such as a wedding and for a yearly "Sunrise Easter Service".
Just a quick pick snapped by the piano pedals right before going to sleep, because we were visiting grandsweeties and got to see our very newest grandsweetie for the very first time. No time to play with dolls.

Prompt not followed
A view across Barringer Crater in Arizona. This view prompted a fellow visitor to exclaim, "Wow! That's a big hole!"
In fact, the far rim is about a mile from the rocks in the foreground, at the bottom of the image. There is the remains of a mining camp in the center of the image. In the mining camp is a dark rectangle, to the left of the bright area on the floor of the crater. It is a boiler that supplied power, is about the size of a railroad car, and is also about the size of the impactor that created this crater.
