Letter "F" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 08 / Reflections and-or Street Captures

This Week's Prompts:   Starts with "F";  A Favorite; "Fast; Reflections and/or Street Captures; and A Lagniappe.   
 _ _ _ _ 


Starts with "F": These are Fronds cut from a backyard palm tree.  Ours froze during the freeze last year, it was supposed to be "cold hardy".  We waited a long time to see if it would develop new fronds but that did not happen.  So we had it cut down and hauled away last summer.

A Favorite:   Fish and Food start with "F"; these were Sardines Fresh out of a can.  I often have these on saltine crackers but they make good sandwiches also.



"Fast": My 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible was a Fast car in its day.  Now the cars are faster still.  This one did hit 140mph for me and was still accelerating.  I don't drive it nearly that fast again, but before I bought it, two years old, used with 49K miles, I wanted to make sure it would go fast.  Now I don't trust the metal to have fatigued someplace and make us have a wreck.


The other, a 1974 Ford Mustang II Ghia was not Fast at all.  It was to save gasoline during our shortages and was on a Ford Pinto frame with a V6 engine (I had a 1972 Ford Pinto, a yellow fast back but it flooded in 1979).  



The '98 Mustang now has 108K miles, the '74 Mustang II has 67K miles.  It was my mom's car and she took very good care of it.

Reflections
and/or Street Captures:  Yesterday morning I looked out the back door and on the back side of the pool was this bright reflection.  I think it was the sun Feeling it oats shining on the upper house window and reflecting back down where you see it.
