Many people don't know this about me. I've always been the type of person to get right in there and help out with whatever i'm involved in. I'm the type of person that wants to be working instead of standing there watching the work being done. I always was right in there helping my dad work on the cars, getting my hands greasy and dirty, not worrying about breaking a nail, like most girls at the track would be afraid of. It makes you appreciate it a lot more when you are the one doing the work. Racing has taught me this valuable lesson in life.

The Harbor of Refuge Light was first lit in 1926, replacing another light that previously on the site. The cast iron "spark plug" tower was built on a breakwater marks the entrance to a harbor of refuge and the Lewes, Delaware dock. The light was automated in 1973. In 2002, the Coast Guard leased the light to a local preservation group who assume ownership of the light in 2004. The lighttower is a contributing property in the National Harbor of Refuge and Delaware Breakwater Harbor Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Constructed in 1897, the lighthouse marks a dangerous ledge in the main shipping channel of Portland Harbor. The lighthouse is connected to the mainland by a 900 ft. long granite breakwater. I was standing on it when I took the picture. On the left, two people are exiting the lighthouse the only way possible: down an iron ladder.

Normally, I try to fix red-eye, but I think here I'll leave it in.
Fast forward just three years and now the staid man in his shirt and tie and shop coat and some factual information about the product has been replaced with a glamour girl astride a formula one type car and promises of loads more cash if you buy more Champion spark plugs. Everything about this is a totally different approach to just three years earlier and shows just how much changed in that short era from 1965 to 1968. It's all moved on again since - the gradual eradication of this sort of undisguised sexism is definitely a step forward and such blatant money making promises are more cleverly disguised if essentially still the same in the present day.
