Friday Hunt, 2017.1.4

It is Friday (yay :) and time for this week's version of Teresa's fun meme Friday Hunt. She suggests the the message and we happily comply in today's iteration...

Starts with 'D' I've chosen a very obvious one here, that being the vehicles named Dodge. I currently own one, a 2008 Grand Caravan setup to carry a wheelchair and I can drive (in he 2015 Ansonia Memorial Day Parade)

The next being my very first wheelchair van, a full-sized 1989 Dodge B250, the day after I purchased it, April 21, 1996. Monstrous and fuel thirsty (12-14 MPG), but a small cost for freedom and independence...

A superb hubcap, wheel, whitewall and shadow from a beautifully restored 1936 Dodge that I captured (and am captured within) from Wheelchair height. 

Week's Favorite. There is a new portable ice rink in ansonia, and although it has been too warm for ice, the city of Ansonia is accepting donated ice skates so those less fortunate can skate on the rink. Ansonia Mayor Dave Cassetti is very enthusiastic, our friend Phyllis is facilitating the donations and Patti publicized it in our Thursday Valley-Voice newsletter. Pictured here are the containers of skates at Ansonia City Hall. Just need a few days of frigid temps to open up the rink...

Close Up. Someone took my pic with the bridge of my nose in 2009 I think. Thanks again for this week's fun, Teresa!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.3

Friday returns and a favorite meme, Friday Hunt hosted by Teresa. She offers the clues, and we respond...

Starts with 'C'.I chose late navy pilot and astronaut Eugene Cernan, who passed away this week - the last person to walk on the moon in 1972...

I believe this publicity pic was from 1965. Here is the gentleman in 1965 or so. My father worked in public relations for the rocket motor manufacturer United Aircraft (now United Technologies) and he gave all Villers kids autographed copies. Alas, this is the only copy this one is all I can find.

Signed with a ballpoint pen now faded, this copy was autographed (ballpoint pen) for my sister Vicki. I found this photo a couple of years ago and scanned it waiting for the time to post it (and that is not me :) A significant and historical 'C'

Week's Favorite. At the Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby CT, we see a turtle looking at the photographer with perhaps a look of disdain or bemusement, apparently asking the paparazzi "Are you looking at me??"

Odd Angle. I think it's angular. The always lovely Patti is taking a selfie of sorts from the passenger seat of the Grand Caravan along I-91 North in Middletown CT.  I suppose the Camera could be a 'C' too. As always, a fun meme Teresa!
