      Well Bob if you actually owned this store you could get Blanton's Bourbon at cost, which still ain't cheap.
      sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
      2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

        A while back a good friend of mine made me the sign in the picture, we finally got a castle.

          I have at least got the theme covered this week--first AND last name.



          The address of the restaurant is painted underneath.

            Friday. Vote Day.

            First the statement of the theme-subject by Mr Marvinsc:

            Originally posted by marvinsc

            And the entries, about 8 of them.

                Baatfam Bob gets my vote this week.
                The thought of a drive-through liquor store in my area would make people's head explode.
                Heck, if you are on a bicycle they won't even sell you a coffee at the drive-throughs.

                  Excellent....
                  Once again, picking the best photo is difficult.

                  What I like in photos is balance, colors, and shapes....
                  Gustov and Norm caught my attention....
                  Kerrfunk's has all the pieces I like....It would make a neat panorama if a bunch of the parking lot was cropped out.
                  Baatfam's is nice, but clearly photoshopped

                  But my vote goes to Burque73 (Roger)

                  Great colors, and fun shapes.
                  Nice balance/angle between the bike and the word.
                  Bike is pointed into the picture, not out.
                  Sharp.

                  Roger, I would suggest you crop out that distracting stuff on the right, though...
                  What is that? An amusement park?

                      I dont see that.
                      But did wonder why need to take off jacket and helmet in Knoxville TN in February to stand in parking lot a minute to get that picture. I figured, maybe, because went inside for some time. ha ha.

                            Vote for Norm Storm.
                            Often a helmet on the seat is a distraction, but in this case it directed attention to the main point of the pic, well, that is, if you knew the picture was Norm's picture.


                            Kerry, Thanks for the specific information when I asked how far Norman is from Normal.
                            I somewhat knew it wasn't close.

                                Haha, no that's a bus stop. It is rather amusing that the previous mayor thought this new rapid transit system was a good idea. What a boondoggle that was.

                                We call it the ART project. Albuquerque Rapid Transit is a new bus line that runs straight up the center of Central Ave. or Route 66.

                                Let’s Talk NM 12/5 8a: The long delayed Albuquerque Rapid Transit line (ART) officially began running buses along Central Avenue this past Saturday. We'll…
