No problem @PUSH. I've had more of those birthday things than I ever expected so the lack of one late good wish will not be considered something to get my feathers all ruffled.

I am jealous with you. The most recent fours years I taught at summer music camp. This year there was no funding for that. I miss the kids and the extra money too.
In the 1990s my summers were spent being the engineer of this Pt Pleasant Beach NJ boardwalk train...

Last week I had lunch at a popular Cracker Barrel restaurant. Little did I know when I left home that my car battery had only that one startup left before it passed away. So when I left the restaurant, or tried to leave, the battery had already straight lined with no warning. One of the very negative things about cars and batteries in modern cars.
Anyway that was a rather wordy pre-curser to the fact that as I waited for AAA to show up I had plenty of time to look over the completely filled parking lot and for that entire hour with people arriving and leaving I had the only car in the lot that wasn't white, black or some shade of silver or grey. And like a sore thumb my bright red stationary automobile shown brightly drastically easing the arriving AAA vehicle drivers chore of finding me in a crowded parking lot.
It's no wonder that the world is so agitated. When people are not even able to have the ability to rise above drabness, anger is bound to force it's way out. However, even though I do agree with the above meme', as far as colo(u)rs are concerned, the fact that every vehicle shown is either a Beetle or a shapeless tiny box could also create a bit of tediousness in itself. I can remember when we used to visit dealers just to see what the cars looked like when they were introduced. To this day if I look at a car from the 50's or 60's, at least in the states, I can immediately identify the car and be within a year of the model year. Now just about every auto, sedans or SUV's, all look almost exactly the same which just adds to the proof of our Stepford Wives forced personalities. That leaves us with only two types of personalities. We are either docile and submissive or massively angry and aggressive. Those in the middle have bright red cars.

@Goofyernmost love the phrase in your signature!! Definitely rings true! Being 5 in the 70's WAS much more fun than being 50 in the 20's LOL

Since we were just talking about the lack of a multitude of auto colors I just saw an aerial photo of part of DAK's parking lot which totally proves the point.

I have bought 4 brand new Altimas since 2006.
In each case, I really only had 4 or 5 colour choices from which to choose - dark grey, white, black, light grey/silver, and a fifth colour that varied model year to model year.
Begs the question ,
Why do you need 4 Altimas ?

Who doesn’t need 4 Altimas?
I drive a bright blue car, which puts me right next to you.
My family never did a whole lot for birthdays growing up. A couple gifts, a cake, and maybe our grandparents coming. Never any big parties or anything. Next year is my golden birthday and a milestone, so I feel like I should do something.
