Letter "V" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 09 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures

Fourth of July Parade photo -- Adi likes


 - Tom's Requests: Starts with "V"; A Favorite; and Tom's suggestion, "Vibrant". 

- James' request, Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures.

Starts with "V":   Volkswagon car starts with the letter "V".  My 1962 VW Bug was the 9th of 32 cars that I have owned/and or used.  I used the Bug for my work car in going to and from the NASA Space Center from 1965 to 1970.   Then I blew the engine about 75 miles west of Houston; I had a friend tow me back into town and I rebuilt the engine on the Bug.  See my car list here:

We were making a pit stop potty-wise, and not many places were open on the New Year Holiday.  Not even MacDonald's.  But this gas station was kind and loaned us the use of his facilities 

This Little Red VW find was a beauty in my book. I'd like to have seen and heard it run. I believe it is used for street purposes.  Street racing?  I'm too old for that now though my Mustang GT strains at times, but I hold it back.

A Favorite:  A slug-bug at that!  This one's a 1955 Volkswagen, my 1:18 die cast toy car.  Supposedly the toy gas pump belongs to Mrs. Jim, but I keep it with my toy cars.  (see my Bug Collection)

Tom's suggestion, "Vibrant":   Adi, our deceased Beagle dog exhibited Vibrant behavior when she rode in our Golf cart or the car whenever she sensed she was nearing a destination that was fun for her.  Or excited sometimes just riding.  

As seen on Houston TV's  K P R C  last night

James' request, Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Capturesp phy : The NBC Christmas Tree at the Rockefeller Center was lighted last night.  I don't know which bright spots are Reflections and which are lights or being lighted.

nice pictures!
Your post reminded me of my first summer and first 4th of July in Texas. It was in 2007, I surprised by how hot it was but it was memorable.

...I didn't think of VW!
...yes indeed, red, white and blue are my idea of VIVID colors.
...Adi looks all tuckered out.
Thanks Jim for stopping by.

I am sure you miss your dog. She was lovely and certainly enjoyed that buggy Jim. Love the Christmas tree and reflections Jim. I don't see your email anywhere on your blog so I cannot send you an E-CARD I made for you. If you wish to send me your email I will sent it to you. My email is on my site (top RHS). Have a wonderful week ahead.
