Letter "Y" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 10 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures
- Tom's Prompts Start with "Y." A Favorite. Yard.
Start with "Y." Yemeni! These cars on SM506 avoided a bad pileup but it caused a Mayhem. The '34 Ford Hotrod and the Orange Racer were racing and bumped sides, both spun out.
That doesn't count knocking down a road barrier before school. My sister wouldn't count knocking down the neighbor's mailbox either. I feel a little bad about that as I taught her how to drive. Plus, I think Dad was with her when she did it.
This car goes nowhere fast. Very fast. Just one look at this driver and you will know that she is related to me, Jim. In fact, she is my grand-daughter, KP, out for a spin.
Her race car is in the Incredible Pizza restaurant in Conroe, Texas. The car tipped from side to side as it made it's journey around the track. KP did not like that. I asked Mrs. Jim if the car had a seat belt as that would help stabilize her. Mrs. Jim said yes, but that KP did not like it.
Since she does not like foolishness and the out of ordinary for her involvement in car riding I predict that she will become a very safe driver. She watches out for people approaching her on either side. This car did not have a rear view mirror but she did turn around often to see if other racers were catching up with her. KP definitely gets an AAA+++.
Tom's Request, "Yard": We have a rabbit in the back yard and a duck in the front. When she gets thirsty the duck goes across the street to drink excess watering in the curbs of the street.

I have 29 of these Matchbox toy cars that I've collected over the years. The orange racer in the left lane has been in my stable since my childhood.

Have you had your car read lately? #020 — Six Word Saturday — Three Youthful Finds
Do you remember your youthful driving?
I am thinking that the drivers of the three cars shown on this and previous pages are progressively older as shown here. They probably didn't have the bad experiences totaled together of three accidents as I did by myself. None of them were my fault.

James' request, "Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures": We were debarking from our flight to the Isle of Man from probably Scotland. (Isle of Man)
