Another Day at the Museum

Well, I had another holiday with un-bicycle like weather It was so cold, I had frost on the inside

A photo for my auto journalism career

And after a few laps of crossgates, I was off to Norwich, NY and the Northeast Classic Car Museum. Here's a 1941 Buick SUV:

One of the nice things they did was have various mannequins in period clothing:

There's almost too many cars to cover in a short blog post. They have the largest collection of Franklins, a car made in Syracuse

You can sit in this one:

A 1958 Packard with four(!) tailfins

Another Playboy

and a camper made in Norwich as well

A wonderful day in a small town in winter. A little out of the way, but worth it.

A place for Mom

I was a bit sick, so I decided to hit some senior housing: A little too expensive for mom And since my car is now on its third recall, guess what I did: But no decision here either, reminds of Sir John Franklin. A lot of folk have given him grief about going around the "wrong" side of the island, as compared to Roald Amundsen, who went the other way and made to Alaska. There's just one small catch: The south channel has a 3 foot draft, too shallow for Capt. Franklin's ships. So until next week (unless a polar bear devours me) keep the rubber side down.
