Friends in Boxes

While Mr. Nick is preparing to unload some heavy stuff on you, I'd like to mention that I rediscovered the perfect food. Whipped Cream. I had a Frappachino today with whip. And I realized that the best part was the whipped cream. I think I'm going to come up with a whipped cream diet. Low carb, high in fun. I'm pretty sure the reason why we're all getting older is that we're not eating enough whipped cream. Go get some now. You have permission.

Yeah, I know that sounds crazy. Radical maybe. Led Zeppelin is clearly up there. But with certainty, this is the greatest rock album of the 1990's. You probably haven't heard it because you were too busy listening to Nirvana. I like Nirvana...but they're in a different genre. This is old school rock & roll. Obviously influenced by LedZep. The drums and guitars are flawless. The lyrics are sometimes light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek and at other times mystical and melancholy. Do yourselves a favor and buy this one for your collection .

What if I told you it was a Pontiac ? Well it is. It's the Pontiac Solstice. I saw one the other day and I admit I did a doubletake. It was difficult to see what the manufacturer was but the icon on side looked strangely familiar. Turns out, it was grandma's car I was thinking of. Well, in looks, I'd give it a 9. They should fire the designer of the Aztec and hire more of this designer's friends. At a base price of $21,000 it looks very nice. Not sure how the rest of it shakes out. If they could only change the maker name...... We'll Saturn has a variant as well. Why don't they get together and come up with a new, third brand (in the fashion of Scion)? That just might help sales. It would at least rid it of the stigma . (Solstice interior photo courtesy of Brad Dougherty under Creative Commons License )
