Got to visit Bill's '66 this morning.....
The metal and paint on this car are beyond belief, perfect.

As 1966 is a favorite year of mine for many reasons - I can't say enough about that iconic restored beauty. Do you know what Pontiac colour that is? It looks like Fenders "Shoreline Gold".

Saturday night entertainment material (get some popcorn ready) - I saw this cheezy sci-fi movie (when new) in 1962 as a nine yr old in an Omaha Nebraska movie theater called the "Chief Theater" - with a big (stylized) buffalo nickel "chief" profile neon marquee. (since torn down) When you entered - they gave us a (free!) packet of "Triffid seeds" (sunflower seeds) to scare us, presumedly as part of the marketing.

It's actually a very provocative story-line (other than plants that kill and move around) because of the "meteor shower" that no-one could look away from, blinding the worlds population with the exception of those who for whatever reason didn't witness it. "gee - look - pretty lights in the sky". It crippled me as a kid ;) but I survived...

 
Pretty cool! Looks like a lot of fun.

Our place in the mountains reportedly has five feet around it. ScCal Edison texts us every time the power goes out and when they get it back up. Four times now since midnight. The County set up a warming center in the clubhouse, but people higher up like we are (6000 feet) can’t get out of their driveways without hours of shoveling snow. And the roads are terrible, even with chains. I’m glad I had the good sense to stay home in the flatlands the last several days.
