Happy 07-08-09 Day! -- MidWeek Blues --
FEMA did the blue for them.
What's the hold up with their insurance companies?
Hurricane Ike came last summer, nearly a year ago now. Still these people are having to live with temporary patches on their dwellings.
Almost immediately a FEMA rep showed up with the blue tarpaulins to keep the elements out of their homes.
Why even have insurance if we have to wait over a year for the repairs?
One thought; the widow lady in the small house may not have wind insurance as her home very likely is paid for. The other is only a few years old and most likely has a mortgage requiring insurance.
I'd be very blue too.

Another note, I've just had my 50,000th visitor here on my blog.
I don't know who it was but he/she looked at my French Millau Viaduct post of June, 2007. (Google link, fourth down)
I do know the visitor was from Huizen, Holland.
Thank you whoever you are!

Or do less. All she requires is a BLUE PICTURE, you don't have to write.

July came in with a bang! -- Ruby (Red) Tuesday
I have a collection of these NAPA calendars. I start with the second issue but do have a break of a few years in the late 90's and early 2000's. I may look for missing issues but it probably is not worth the effort.
He bought it new, the first thing he did was to bolt his homemade ring on the hump. That was for holding his tobacco juice can--a one pound flat coffee can, spittoon for the poor people--in place.
The second thing he did was to put a 2 X 4 piece of wood under the seat and bolt it there. That way he could sit up higher in his car like he did in his pickup truck.
