Happy Birthday, Matt!!! May you have many more healthy and and prosperous ones.

It seems that most of us never pay attention to the touristy places where we live. I lived in Philadelphia for over 4 years before I went to see the any of the local historic sites. I fact I worked in an office just across the street from Independence Hall for over a year after college and didn't go look at it until my mother asked if I had seen it. I was so embarrassed that I crossed the street the next morning and wandered through the building for about an hour.

When I moved back to Mobile, which I consider my home town, I vowed to visit the historic sites, which I have done for the most part.

Best wishes.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Matt!

Afton Mountain has been the doom of many a good vehicle. In the 1960s and 1970s, it took my family's '63 Fairlane station wagon (head gasket) and broke a friend's '67 bug (piston rod). Blue and gray smoke, plus the smell of burnt oil, were just part of the Afton driving experience on the way to Crozet.

That overweight, underpowered, non-aerodynamic Silver Dawn never had a chance. It is a beautiful piece of coachbuilding, though, and I can't wait for the Country Highway post-mortem.
