I want to take a moment to thank all the wonderful people who have trusted me with blogging their creations, to all those who have given me tips and answered my never ending questions.
I have a very stressful, IT job in RL and by nature am an introvert, so I often don't think about all the blessing I have nor am I comfortable expressing my gratitude. I am also very shy about reaching out to my SL Community.
I have been loving Second Life since 2008 and it has never been better for me than it is now. I owe that to all my SL friends and supporters.
Have a wonderful holiday and may 2019 be your best year ever - Augusta
1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K Wins Best in Show at Greenwich Concours
By Jeff Peek / Hagerty.com
Michael and Joannie Rich were looking for just the right car, and in the end, the right car found them. It proved to be a match made in concours heaven. The Pennsylvania couple’s one-off 1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K was chosen Best in Show at Sunday’s 25th Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, which returned to Roger Sherman Baldwin Park after a two-year hiatus.
“It came to us sort of by chance,” Michael says. “I was approached by somebody in the car world who said they had a neat car that I might be interested in. What really interested me was its Fleetwood body. Obviously, there are many coach builders, but it was from a place that’s only a half-hour down the road from us … a place I’d visited. I mean, the factory is still there. There’s a just a tremendous amount of history out of the Fleetwood factory. That’s what really attracted me to it—plus it’s the only one in existence.”
The car’s original owner, William Sloan of Rochester, New York, saw legendary Hollywood actor Rudolph Valentino’s Fleetwood-bodied Isotta Fraschini Roadster at the 1926 New York Auto Salon and fell in love with it. Except he wanted it on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. The car had been repainted in the decades that followed—Michael described it as “a pretty car with an ugly paint job”—and the Riches wanted to restore it back to how it looked when it rolled out of the Fleetwood factory. They entrusted the job to Steve Babinsky and Automotive Restorations in Lebabon, New Jersey.
“It was fun doing the restoration because we could visit it from time to time. I remember when it was down to a frame,” Joannie says. “We discussed the colors, and when we finally found the original color, we looked at each and said, ‘It’s interesting … not one I would pick.’ We sort of toyed back and forth about what we were going to do, and we decided if we were going to do it, we’d do it as it was.”
That proved to be a great decision. The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance is only its fourth public showing.
“The car world has a belief system, and the belief system is that certain cars are just super important, deserving of celebration and recognition,” says McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, which owns the event. “The Mercedes-Benz Model K selected as best in show represents that greatness—one that the judges recognized following significant deliberation.”
The short-wheelbase (130 inches) Model K is powered by a 6.2-liter, switchable supercharged (kompressor) six-cylinder engine. From the right side of the bonnet/hood emerged three metal exhaust pipes merging at the lower edge to a single exhaust. This detail later became a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz supercharged cars.
“It’s a special car,” Joannie says. “I get so much enjoyment out of watching people’s reaction to it. They have so many questions. It’s been a lot of fun.”
Michael thanked his father “for getting me into this mess.”
“It’s a hobby,” Joannie jokingly corrected him.
“A mess, a hobby, organized chaos … I just wish he was here to see this.”
Something tells us he would be smiling.

On se pose souvent la question C’est quoi l’amour ? il m’a fallu bien des années avant d’en avoir un avant-goût. Il m’a fallu trainer dans ce monde, à errer souvent sans but précis, sans objectif à part celui de subsister dans un univers hostile. L’humanité à toujours été étrange à mes yeux, et un jour, il y a 5 ans de ça j’ai vu une lueur… Mais voila l’amour il a son timing il m’a fallu attendre un peu avant que tu partages ma vie. Il y a 3 ans tout me menait à toi, et nous avons succombés ensemble à une grande aventure. Partagé nos destins, nos chemins, et là j’ai cru en l’humanité. J’ai trouvé le but de de ma vie et tous mes objectifs se centraient sur toi. Merci à la femme que tu es, tu m’as sauvé de par ton amour et tu me tiens la main chaque jour. Je te dois mes espoirs, ma force, tu m’as donné la stabilité dont j’avais besoin. Tu es la femme qui comble chaque vide que la vie à laisser. Merci pour ces 3 ans qui sont passés comme un coups de vent. Merci pour tout ce bel amour que nous partageons. Tu es ma vie, mon amour.
Well, Jasper pulled his mom over for speeding yesterday. I questioned him on the wisdom of that because she is the one that does most of the feeding and walking and playing and belly rubbing, and... He told me that all humans are held equal under the eyes of the law. She paid the 2 dog bones and was sent on her way, hopefully at a more lawful speed. 😉

A volte bastano pochi secondi ed una foto apparentemente da cestinare viene salvata dal primissimo raggio di Sole della giornata che decide di illuminare proprio il treno, mentre la nebbia che nascondeva ogni cosa alla vista si dissolve all'improvviso per rimanere solo quel tanto che basta ad impreziosire la scena.
Question Marks and Eastern Commas were "puddling" on a "leaky" maple that dripped water and sap from holes sapsuckers had drilled into the trunk.
These species fly here on warm days in the winter.

Another moon, or painting with light.
For those who ask themselves such questions, no, I am not as small as it seems here.
Autumn was in the air, finally. The clouds were gathering, rain was on the way, and I was keeping close to my truck, just in case. At least, if the storm came up quickly, I was always safe underneath the old covered bridge. And since there is a separate 'driveway' and sidewalk through the bridge, no problems if cars came through.
A great storm hideout!
The colors were beginning to show, how ever so slightly. Another couple weeks and they will be in their glory.
No question about it, the Fall is my favorite time of year........
If you know the answer / could you tell me the question...

she was walking. a simple act, a straight line from one point to another. then, the wall spoke. a painted man, kicking at the sun with joyful abandon. she paused, her head turned, the forward motion interrupted by a question. art is a question asked of a passerby. sometimes, they stop to consider an answer. then, the walking continues.
Le courage, l'incompréhension, le défi, la tristesse, la peur et pleins d'autres sentiments marquent souvent le regard des gens. Mais que peut-on lire dans les sentiments de cet escargot ?
Entre nous, j'en ai chié pour n'avoir que les deux yeux nets au même moment, mon regard devait être agacé 😅
there where so many rock formations we encounter during our stay at Bandon bay, Oregon.....
I just want to send my congratulations to NASA for the remarkable mission to Pluto......they inspire all of us to have inquiring minds..... to always question; is there life, somewhere in our magnificent universe........................ dennis :))

On this Christmas Day, I bring you my favorite, a Eurasian Wigeon Drake in eclipse plumage. I am always fascinated by the process by which ducks molt their feathers in two successive waves, and this handsome guy is really a stunner. Compare the dorsal, side and tail plumage with the breeding plumage of the Wigeon Drake I posted yesterday.
Very content at the exquisite Suizenji Jojuen gardens, Kumamoto, Kyushu.

"I want to chase them! Can I never turn back?" She asked, looking longingly up at the sky, towards her dreams, towards adventure... towards the unknown.
"But what about what you already have here?" A response with another question, eyeing her with disapproval. "Responsibilities, promises and what society expects of you..."
She pouted, heaving a huge sigh, still looking up at the sky. Stubborn nature taking over, "I don't care, I'll never come back." she said adamantly.
"In due time..." The words were whispered, a hand reaching over her chest, "Don't waste time..." it repeated over and over...
P.S. Photo taken at one of Missing Melody's public spots, the open meadow. Best place for inspiration and relaxation. ;)

When spiders are away...droplets are there.
The SILLIEST question that I can ask is how many droplets of water are there!
Most of life is lived between certainty and curiosity.
As children, we inherit stories, beliefs, traditions, and values from those who came before us. Some become foundations. Others become questions. Many remain both.
The young spend much of life searching for who they will become. The older we grow, the more we discover that the search never fully ends.
Perhaps that is why this scene resonated with me.
Not because it provides answers, but because it reflects something universal: the human desire to understand ourselves, our purpose, and the larger story into which our lives are woven.
from rilke: “try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. do not look for the answers. they cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. it is a question of experiencing everything. at present you need to live the question. perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer.”
It's one of those great imponderable questions like how do you tell the dancer from the dance?
In this case, how can you tell the cat from the cushion?
It's a horrible dull grey day so I thought it was time for Bella to earn her cat food and provide me with a subject for my 365 project
Last night, an unidentified flying object was spotted in the skies over Rome. The Italian Air Force raised an alert, prompting fighter jets to take off. Today, a meeting between the government and military leaders is underway to investigate this violation of Italian airspace. The question everyone is asking is... why are they flying over our skies? But above all, what do these aliens want?🤔😅...🇮🇹Ieri sera, un oggetto volante non identificato è stato avvistato nei cieli di Roma. L'Aeronautica Militare ha lanciato l'allerta, facendo decollare i caccia. Oggi è in corso un incontro tra il governo e i vertici militari per indagare su questa violazione dello spazio aereo italiano. La domanda che tutti si pongono è... perché sorvolano i nostri cieli? Ma soprattutto, cosa vogliono questi alieni? 🤔😅
