Pancakes and Skateboards!: Back on the scene. p.s. I steal purses!

I'm a bit behind in my posts as I was holding off for a photo I was hoping to receive via e-mail that has yet to arrive.

This past Sunday had a distinct high and a definite low. The low was when I was shopping at Safeway with my son and the assistant. I was in need of some leaf lettuce and a plastic bag to put it in. Some wonderfully intelligent lady parked her shopping cart in front of the bag dispenser beside the leaf lettuce so I had to reach over her cart to grab the bag. It was then when she turned around getting all bent out of shape and informed me that I was lucky she didn't hit me because she was certain I was attempting to steal her purse! Ha!

I quickly shared some choice words with her and strongly suggested she learn where to park a shopping cart so she wouldn't be forced in to these situations where she felt it so necessary to judge people so harshly without cause. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt at the time (no common criminal tattoos visible to the public eye) and my son and cart full of food were a mere few feet away. A perfect Modus Operandi for snatching old ladies bags from the local grocery store obviously!

Dear old ladies...your purses have a strap. Don your purses on your shoulders...don't leave them unattended in carts!

Now for the highlight of the day... Since I just recently just assembled my 219 to about 99% road ready I decided to cruise on over to the Pony Coral as Dennis Gage from "My Classic Car" was expected to be there. I thought the timing was right.

I haven't participated in any sort of show and shine for about 7 years. We rolled in to the parking lot and I was taken back to see Dennis Gauge bee-lining for my car to pop his head in to my window and tell me how impressed he was with my ride. It definitely made my day. To think a purse thief could impress Dennis Gage with his car. I thanked him for that and thanked him for featuring another car of mine in the opening credits for the 2002 season of his show. I guess I have officially caught his eye twice now.

For those of you who have now idea who Dennis Gage is...he's "the guy with the mustache". He also invented Pringles!
