I will maintain for a long, long time that only one American sports car has not lost its edge over time. Sure, the Corvette has looked more interesting at some times than others. Sure, I prefer the Ford GT in all of its incarnations. But only one American sports car has lasted a dedicated 50 years, going on 65 with no breaks. Here's looking at you, Corvette.
Standing like solemn sentinels, the remains of the gutted engine peered out from the minivan's hood. But this minivan would not be going anywhere.

Virginia is a Great Horned Owl who was hit by a car. She is incapable of using her talons to hold prey, but that didn't stop her from looking absolutely regal in the presence of her audience at a charity event.

I am glad the sky and weather were cooperative in providing copious amounts of light for my use.
