Playing around with the BlogPress app, by Coollittlethings Studio, on my iPod Touch. I wish the text was a little larger but I do like the landscape mode. Best I'm able to post to my blog from anywhere that I'm able to get public WiFi. These days that seems to be just about everywhere.

Record price for vintage Karmann Ghia

2009-01-09T12:21:00.000-08:00

This is old news but I wanted to share it. I love this little car. We have had four Ghia's in my family. My parents owned one when I was 17 and I have owned three. I sold the last one almost 25 years ago and used the money for the down payment on my house. More on my Ghia's in a later post. If you own a Ghia or are just a fan drop me a line

Possibly the most original 50’s lowlight Karmann Ghia in the world, this vintage VW sold for a record $45,000 (link)

Big Mac 1989

2008-10-13T17:57:00.000-07:00

Cleaning out my locker at work I found this Oakland Athletics Magazine from 1989. The cover shows a very young looking Mark McGwire. One of my coworkers knew that I was an A's fan and donated it to my collection.

While I'm looking for a new job (the last time was 25 years ago) I will be selling off some of my many collections. I decided, long before losing my job, if I start selling now I may get rid of it all before I die. I am a toy collector at heart. I think it comes from having very few toys as a youngster. My mom, a single working mother of five, had very little disposable income for toys.

Another of the world’s notable nudist beaches-College Cove Humboldt County: On a good day, about 50 / 100 visitors over both beaches. Both beaches are popular with young singles, although most of them are textile. There is a higher percentage of nudists on the south beach, but even there they are in the minority.
