This is just a quick note to remind you about the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’, ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’, and ‘Saturday Night Retro’. This week on the ‘Retro’ we’ll get psychedelic and party like it’s 1969. Come on back with me on my trip. I’ll show you what life was like for me back when I was just two years old.

I’ll be posting ‘My NFL Weekend Game Picks’ tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon here on the big green blog, so don’t miss that my friends. You won’t regret it pal.

Until we hang out again here in cyberspace – check out these hot new Smart Cars !

My First Saturn

I’m currently on my 3RD Saturn. I’ve had it since June 2003. I completely own it now. It’s all mine. I’ve had it longer, and I’ve driven more miles on it than my previous two Saturns.

Going back a decade ago here’s a picture that was taken in 2000 of my 1ST Saturn. It was mine from April 1997 to January 2001. During those 45 months I put 44,200 miles on it.

Saturday Night Retro

Let’s take a trip back to the heart of Miami in the mid-1960s. Here’s a classic television commercial for a trio of late-model cars for sale up at Municipal Auto Sales on NW 36TH Street near NW 31ST Avenue. ENJOY !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Now Hear This. It’s On My Mind (Pure Energy):

1.  Tropical Storm Fay flooded Florida from Key West to Tallahassee, Hurricane Gustav brushed us aside this past weekend en route to the U.S. Gulf Coast, and now we’ve got Tropical Storms Hanna, Ike, and Josephine lined-up across the Atlantic. I’ve never been concerned with Hanna. She could disrupt plans further up the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Ike could be flirting with the southeastern Bahamas and the north coast of Cuba on Sunday and Monday as a Category 2 or 3 Hurricane. I’m watching Ike closely. You should too.

2.  Yesterday an 18-year relationship ended. I’m talking of course about my relationship with State Farm Insurance. They insured all 4 of my cars during this time-period. Effective yesterday morning at 12:01 AM GEICO became my automobile insurer. Hail to the gecko !

3.  Why do I not shop for clothes at Hollister ?  It’s because I’m not 18-years-old, I don’t surf the wild waves totally bodacious dude, and the strong SoCal smell of that place frankly makes me wanna sneeze !

4.  Michael Jackson recently turned 50-years-old, and he stated that ‘the best was yet to come’. I doubt it. He was cool 25-years-old. He was still cranking out the hits 15 years ago. The best came and went. It’s as clear as “Black Or White” (my all-time favourite song of his).

5.  Florida City (where all of the food is) is the fastest-growing city in Miami-Dade County this year as far as property values are concerned. In fact it’s one of only three cities in the County to show any growth at all this year amidst the current economic slowdown. Read all about it.
