Dream car of my youth

On my way to the supermarket today a shiny silver 1980's BMW 535i pulled in front of me on a roundabout (note that the picture on the right is just something I picked off the Web). It was beautiful, almost mint condition. I checked around and found that some of these beauties are selling for less than $10,000. But the one I saw today looks like it's had at least that much on top of that in repairs and improvements.

Babe Army!

It's almost like a fashion show on steroids -- in that intense way that only the Chinese could do.



I had two years of mandatory Citizen's Military Training (CMT) back in my university days, and have experienced marching (after weeks of drills to get it right!) in platoon- and battalion-strength formation. Our marching pace in those days was probably half the tempo of this parade. So I just have to pause and salute these ladies.
