My boss has been going to an auction company out in Hesperia that sells a lot of former government fleet vehicles; still some deals to be had there and the trucks are pretty basic. He just got an '05 long-wheelbase V10 Ford van with a little over 100k on it for two grand; needs a little work but it drove home OK. Found out it was used to haul stuff around for the state prison at Corcoran.

Got an email yesterday from James and Dory Zientara (Newsletter Editor and Vice President, The Lake Michigan Model Car Club) about modeler Kevin Pratscher: Another friend from the LMMCC, and a couple years younger than me to boot. He was a longtime friend of the late Tom Piagari, and the three of us used to go to the Milwaukee NNL meets together. R.I.P. Kevin.

Horton heard a Who, but it wasn't Cindy Lou.

Speaking of "missing" cars, sort of, have you thought of tackling the Chrysler Ghia Norseman?

Interesting... same seller has another dented-box special up for bids. Did a case of them get dropped when the ship was unloaded? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134938280491
