Isn't this wild?!? It's an art car and it was pretty cool. I can only imagine how much fun it was to gather all the different bits and bobs to create it.
This is the hood section and see that white thing in the middle? That is a working water fountain! Amazing! My hat's off to whomever created this and has the moxie to drive it around town. That's taking altering to a whole new level!
Speaking of cars, through a series of {insert whatever adjective here} events, my husband and I managed to find ourselves stranded on the side of a major highway, in the dark, with nary a drop of gas in our tank. I won't go into whose fault that was (*surreptitiously points at the guy who insisted we had enough to make it to the gas station he wanted to go to and since we were in an area I was not familiar with, I listened to him!*) but let's just say it was very scary barely making it off onto the shoulder and having huge semis roar by at 110 km or more with just a whisper between my vehicle and theirs. The car would rock each time and I was so worried we were going to get creamed. Finally there was a break in traffic and my husband was able to push while I steered it farther over to the right. Thankfully, after a quick call for help, our friends whom we had driven out to have dinner with showed up with a jerry can and 1/2 tank of gas and we were on our way again. Surprisingly, I didn't kill my husband. I didn't even raise my voice. I just said that from this point forward, when I want to buy gas, I am buying gas. I don't care if it's cheaper somewhere else. The "E" on the gas gauge is not merely a threat-it's a promise! We finally arrived home at 11 p.m. and I fell into bed, utterly exhausted.
All in all, Saturday was a good day, up until the point of our little misadventure. Never a dull moment, I tell ya! In any case, I was utterly exhausted today so I didn't managed to finish the other banners for my Etsy shop. They will keep till tomorrow. Uh oh! I hear thunder in the distance-I'd better quit while I am ahead!
