Wow. Great photos. I've never seen them that good from anywhere in the continental USA, but one night some time back during a period of unusually intense solar activity, they were visible from NW Arizona

Follow the crowd without thinking about anything, 'cause that's what you're supposed to do.

Power is not something that people who want it should ever have.

Effects of rapidly rising food costs include significant weight loss...in the wallet.

"Gas prices are poised to go up, go down, or stay the same" said a highly paid petroleum industry analyst.

Anything worth doing is worth rushing through, taking as many shortcuts as possible, using the cheapest materials, and then begging for praise on the interwebs for 3rd rate mediocrity.

GAZ or not, it's always nice to have alternate sources of vintage Ford parts in 1/24. Kit #24052 (photo above) appears to be a US version. Is that correct?

Chevy and engines in general have figured centrally in my life, but a well-rounded man broadens his interests.

My first truck models were the first issues of the Revell '56 Ford pickup and the AMT '62 Apache, both mildly customized, and both of which took trophies at the local hobby shop contest...and were subsequently totally destroyed during a fit of rage (not mine). Some time later came the AMT '53 Ford pickup, which I built as a service vehicle with the welding tanks in the bed. Next was another Revell '56 Ford, which I started to modify into a cabover, open double-decker 2-car transporter, and never finished. Long long time ago...

Competition for resources has been the bane of humankind since well before the beginning of recorded history.

Us lice are offended by that remark, and consider an infestation to be interspecies cultural enrichment on a personal level.
