Patty,
Vidalia onions, MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.
HURRAY, hallelujah, YIPPEEE.
Hey, Michael, thanks for starting our Tuesday daily. I like that you added this to April's challenge as well.
Dave,
LIZARD VS. LIZARD.
Give me $10 on the one on the right.
I REALLY enjoyed it. As I was watching it, I remembered that today was Tuesday and Stahl's auto museum is open on Tuesdays. I was ready to shut the computer off, grab my camera and run out there. Really, it was almost like an involuntary reaction. But I looked at the time and it was 2 o'clock and it takes about 45 minutes to get out there. By the time I got dressed and did my hair, .... well, you know, it was too late to go. But see the effect reaction to your video had on me?
Well, maybe I can't go grab some photos at Stahl's vintage car museum, but your video of the cars cruisng down the streets made me think of this photo.
I am not sure if you heard the song in the 70's for the FAYGO Pop Commercials, or if you even had FAYGO in the stores where you lived, but we heard this pleasant ditty over and over back in those days. It was a great brand of pop and is still around. My favorite flavor was GRAPE. Loved it.
Here is the link to the commercial and song: FAYGO REMEMBERS
In this video, you see parents and kids floating down the Detroit River on one of the two BOBLO boats that were headed to BOBLO Island where a huge amusement park awaited them. I went there as a child and was lucky enough to take out own kids there when they were young. It was a real summer treat.
Below my photo of the Faygo photos is a picture of the ST. Claire, One of the BOBLO boats (borrowed from the internet). The boats ran up and down the river all day long. Look closely at the flags on the front and back of the boat. The amusement park was located in Ontario Canada and the Detroit flows between Canada on the right and USA on the left in this photo. We can easily see Canada as we stand on the shores of downtown Detroit and for miles along the shoreline on either side of downtown.
Boblo Island Amusement Park is an abandoned amusement park that operated from 1898 until its closure on September 30, 1993. Its amusement rides were sold in 1994. The park was located on Bois Blanc Island, Ontario. It lies just above the mouth of the Detroit River.
Even if you are not familiar with the FAYGO product, I think you will enjoy the tune and sentiment that song shares.
And here's an image.
Have a good Tuesday

- Rich, that video has a little bit of everything.
- An endless parade of cars
- Great music (my foot was tapping the whole time and my head bopping back and forth from left to right)
- Cool vintage autos driven by proud owner
- Dogs in cars and trucks, make that barking dogs!
- and dancing Dinosaurs.
