We’ve lost one car, but added several. Today (Friday) I believe we’re at 12 cars. Maybe 14 for tomorrow’s big run to Buffalo and back. We’ll be in New London at the American Legion later today if the rain lets up. Our Model T representation is up to four, 1914, 15 and 16, with a brass speedster joining us today or tomorrow.

Tomorrow it’s 65 miles to Buffalo and then return to Spicer.

It's great to see some who have the balls to do what we love to do, rather than listening to everything they hear from the government!

I love to see people doing good things they enjoy!

Heading to Buffalo ey?

"You go home and get your scanties, I'll go home and get my panties, and then OFF we'll go! Shuffle off to Buffa-, Shuffle off to Buffa-, Shuffle off to Buffa-lo."

A bit racy, but it was 1933. I love the movie "42nd Street"! (Original version of course!)

I know, different Buffalo.

I also love the movie "Footlight Parade"! Jimmy Cagney is fantastic and he ins't a gangster. Early "talkies" went through an "adjustment period". Producers and actors didn't quite know what to do with the new technology. A lot of the early talkies really stunk! (And a few were wonderful!) Right around 1932, they started getting it, and several wonderful musicals were made in a few short years. I have always considered "42nd Street", "Footlight Parade", and "The Coconuts" (1929 with the Marx Brothers) to be the best of the best early musical movies.

Sorry for the drift. You say one little thing and there I go!
