Maybe slight change in location as we spoke to FM yesterday.

As you recall he worked out a deal with the folks at the SW mall when they replayed the John Wick and the original Bullit Movie to put together a car show, secure parking and then watch the movies.

Let's see what he comes up with.

Maybe they were tears of joy at such an amazing ride.

I had an epiphany in the car once and a shed some tears also...

I'm told that the use of Medical Marijuana helps reduce the possibility of an epiphany? It's probably advisable to reduce the possibility of epiphamizing? You can swallow your tongue?

kool, did you hear the one about;

one fine day in the middle of the night,
 two dead gals got up to fight,
back to back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other...

I think Edsel was just a kid at that time, though he resembles an older Edsel, say circa 1999.

So under 20. A kid.

 That looks like a 35 year old cigar smoking man.

A side note to this thread - at the SAAC 44 banquet the gathered were asked to raise their hand if they thought Matt Damon was a good choice to play Carroll Shelby in the upcoming movie - no one raised their hand, silence. 

The room was very full, hardly any seats were available.

Was there a second vote for "who should have gotten the part?"  Like McConaughey?
