Saturday Matinee – Christmas According To Kids

This is what happens when you ask a bunch of little kids to tell the story of Christmas with adult cameo actors. [Found here. Those below were found by U-Toobage association, and they’re entirely awesome..]

May God bless the innocents.

I wonder what would happen if you asked a bunch of grown-ups…

Stéphane Grappelli

Great early morning road trip music back when I was running early morning road trips. 1930s sunrise swing always worked for me.

Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.

Retro Reflections Part II

Okay, so I was curious about the image PREVIOUSLY POSTED HERE, trying to suss out what make/model/year the car is, as the source didn’t identify it. Tineye had nothing, and a Google image search of classic car grilles didn’t help.

Then I found a link to another image search engine:Looked pretty cool, so I decided to take it for a spin, and my question was answered instantly.

Awesome.

Retro Reflections

Not sure what make/model the car is, but the reflection is interesting. I messed with it a tad. It’s definitely not what I expected.

[Update: The car year/make/model has been confirmed. Details here.]

Yep. This deserves a selfie.

Huang Yung-fu’s Contribution To The World: Painted Village, Taiwan

What started as a hobby became something with more of a purpose. Local families were protesting the scheduled demolition of an abandoned 1940s military encampment just on the outskirts of Taichung. Huang Yung-fu, who is now known as ‘Grandpa Rainbow’ is a veteran with no previous professional trainings. He just picked up a paintbrush about 4 years ago and the whole neighborhood is his huge and borderless canvas to paint.
