Could be, but seeing as those unique doors are what made the car famous, maybe not. I expect it was just a bit of marketing or showmanship on the part of the store owner, or car owner. :-)<br /><br />Things were quiet in those little towns, that's the way we like it - all very Twilight Zone-ish. <i>neenoo- nee-nooo - neee-noo!</i> Sometimes we even stumble across a little town that's X-Files-ish. ;-)<br /><br />Oh good - I'd missed that piece of news about the 10 Commandments monuments. I wonder if they'll remove a similar piece from our town's court house foyer? Steam came from my ears first time I saw that!<br /><br />Yes, it has been a good week for many, but the good somewhat balanced by the dreadful TPP that'll likely be forced through shortly.<br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-552824254129481152015-06-30T20:15:10.973-05:002015-06-30T20:15:10.973-05:00The Confederate flag debate...a hold on closing ab...The Confederate flag debate...a hold on closing abortion clinics in TX...marriage equality...the Ten Commandments...what next?

But husband has no memory of that, or any price tag at all - and he was more interested in the car than I was. Maybe it has no engine...I don't know...lol! We're both pretty certain that the car was in an antique store in Skiatook, Oklahoma - store is: <br />Black Gold Boarding House Antiques.<br /><br />Address -<br /><br />120 E.

Those prices are a little too rich for our palate, and there'll be a hefty chunk of city, county, state taxes to add daily too. But, maybe one of these days, if we have some "funny money" to spare, it would be quite an experience to stay there. I dare not rely on what we are laughingly calling between ourselves "my inheritance" - to which I'm said to be entitled from two relatives' estates in the UK - one probably quite small the other quite a bit larger, and both to be shared among maybe a dozen other beneficiaries, my cousins. One of these days a tattered old ship might come rolling up the Red River to find me....ya never know...and at least there's some water in the Red at present!<br /><br />AC all better now, thank goodness. I'm seriously wimpish about heat, always have been, it messes with my head. In case of apocalyptic permanent lack of AC, I'd have to decamp, dragging himself along kicking and screaming I guess....if we spot you hitch hiking to Alaska we'll stop to pick you up! :-)<br /><br />Greece seems still to be seeking some kind of deal...haven't seen anything more on that yet. I don't fully understand what's going on to be honest, other than Greece leaving the Euro could be a bad thing all round (or not?)

I looked at the rates and prices aren't that horrid at $145, and the two-story at $245. I'd go for the two-story experience, if I had the cash! I hadn't thought of Bartlesville as a destination, but Price Tower by itself, would be. I certainly don't perceive any destinations in my future other than several miles from my home, but never know. Have you seen the replica, The Classen, in Oklahoma City?<br /><br />My empathy on your AC outage. I was without AC for a couple of years here when I had no income and I never ever want to be without again! I'm a wimp when it comes to heat, specially the torrid steam-heat of the deep south, with its eight months of summer. AC is one of several items I'd be sure to miss, if the apocalypse arrives.<br /><br />Speaking of apocalypse, the Greek default announced today may be the financial domino, with many next to tumble. The USA is probably the least solvent, but miraculously still floating via smoke and mirrors.mikenoreply@blogger.com
