Things That Make You Go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Busy, busy week in Ohio and then unexpectedly in VA this week; home late last night in time to shovel some paperwork and get ready for next week in Chicago. 
Woke up Thursday morning in West Virginia and saw this sitting in the parking lot. Do you know what kind of car this is? Looks like someone was heading towards a vintage racing event; that has to be an awfully expensive hobby. Hmmmmmmm
And in other thoughts provoked from watching movies; why does the hero get the crap beat out of him and doesn't ever act like it hurts, but yet winces in pain while being cleaned up with an alcohol swab by his (always attractive) girlfriend/wife? And for that matter, while running away from the bad guys why does the hero hold his (always attractive) girlfriend/wife's hand? Is it not known to them that they can run much faster by themselves than hooked together? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
And speaking of the movies, I have been told I will be attending one involving Meryl Streep in another couple of hours. Seems as though someone told someone this is a "can't miss." Wonder where my flask is? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The race car is an Allard, British from the 50's
Visit Skuttle at the Chicago Mechanical Systems Week 2012 in booth 807. 

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
