George: It performed well. I have thought more than once about it.

But then, I only have room for one scooter or motorcycle in the garage. I would have to do some cleaning….

I remember the time that I was on First Nations Land (Indian Reservation) and I noticed a nice photo op in the back yard of a dilaphidated house. I knew I should be “trespassing” but I parked my car in the middle of the road with the engine running, just in case . . . and I snuck up to the house and JUST THEN, the owner came out from around the back and asked, “What are you doing . . . ?”.

I wasn’t sure what to do, RUN fast or stand my ground and talk . . .

A very Merry Christmas to you

You like any picture that has a BMW in it. Or even a scene were a BMW once stood.

I’m still working on getting a picture of one of those mystical K bikes. With a rider drinking martinis…

SonjaM: I’m still waiting for a motorcycle. I’ve yet to exhaust my enthusiasm for the Vespa. Maybe someday though…

Actually, I think the other photographer did the one of him and his dog.

One of the pictures used to be in the lobby of our building as part of a big wall mounted collage.

Yesterday, the setting sun bounced a beam off the Freznel lens of the Cape May lighthouse, shooting it straight through my Martini… And I thought of you.

I liked the second picture better than the first… But I must agree with you about the soft light at Thr end of the day. I do hope our paths cross on a ride out by you one day next spring.

Merry Christmas,

And interesting account of the meeting with the farmer. Did you take the photo for him in 1984 or did he just find it somehow?
