HAVE YOU SEEN A SNAEFELL? Worth the look!

The Snaefell is a completely hand crafted vehicle, the frame, the wiring harness and, of course, the amazing body, which itself used 63 molds for the parts made of polyester or carbon fiber. Some parts were sourced from Renault, Citroen, BMW, VW and Audi. The entire 10,000 hour project comes in around 15,000 Euros, which, at today's rates, is about $21,000.

I was coming from an appointment last week and drove over an area they call the "Hawk's Nest" and after seeing the beautiful colors had to pull over on a little overlook and snap some pictures.  This overlook looks down on the Delaware River.  One side is New York, the other Pennsylvania.  In the summer this river is so full of rafts, rafting down the river some days that you can hardly see the water.  It is a beautiful site no matter what time of year you happen upon it.  It is a big attraction for motorcycle riders as well.  The wind has been blowing the last few days so I think most of the leaves are down now so a lot of this color is probably already gone.  

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful because:

Today is truly a day of thanks.  I am thankful my husband and I both have jobs.  I am thankful my daughter is able to attend college and one of her choice.  I am thankful we have a roof over our heads.  I am thankful we all have our health.  It may not be the best but it can always be worse.   I am so thankful for the people who call me their friend.   I am extremely thankful for my family and that I will get to be with them today.  For all those with family in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere where they can't be with you today you are in my daily prayers.  I am thankful that my clients bring me repeat business and I can also call them my friends.  Life is precious and it can change in an instant-will everything still be the same tomorrow?  We don't know and no one can predict.  So for today to everyone who shares my life through family, friends and business I wish a glorious Thanksgiving.  May it be the best it can be!

2 MILLION DOLLAR CAR DRIVEN INTO LAGOON!

Police identify owner of wrecked Bugatti

bugatti



Published November 14, 2009

LA MARQUE — Police on Friday identified a Lufkin man who accidentally drove a $2 million Bugatti Veyron, a rare automobile that is perhaps the world’s fastest, into a saltwater lagoon.

Andy Lee House, 34, owner of Performance Auto Sales, told The Daily News on Wednesday that a low-flying pelican distracted him, causing him to jerk the steering wheel a bit — and he then dropped his cell phone.

The crash, however, was captured by someone filming the car as it traveled on the northbound frontage road of Interstate 45 about 3 p.m. Wednesday.

The man filming was traveling north on I-45. No pelican was visible in the video, which shows the car veering from the road and splashing in the lagoon.

IS THIS UNBELIEVABLE OR WHAT?
