Bunny and I stopped by Josef & Joseph to have them fix Bunny's watch
(it turned out to just need a new battery).
Inside is a large collection of clocks, watches and jewelry.
Outside,
however,
was this!
When I asked about the car inside,
I was informed that indeed,
it could drive,
so it's a working car,
made of a VW, BMW and Cadilac welded together and painted silver.
And it was delivered as part of an Elvis Presley exhibit at Josef & Joseph.
What Elvis has to do with a Mad-Max inspired limousine is beyond me.
But it's there,
and it's awesome.
It's also been there so long you can see it on Google's street view!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
