I wonder where that photo was taken. My dad bought a VW bug in 1964 and we took it to Am Samoa with us, then to the Canal Zone in 1966. My older brother learned to drive in it, then I did. Three of the four fenders were dented in and the back bumper was pushed up so you had to stand on it to open the engine hood. My dad showed me how to use two hammers to pound out the dents. A couple buddies and I were goofing around one day talking about I needed to paint my car. One of my buddies ran into his garage, grabbed a can of spray paint and ran around my VW spraying it - so now we had to paint it. His dad was a maintenance supervisor at the locks and got me a 5 gallon can of safety yellow paint - the kind the use for fire hydrants, no parking curbs, etc etc. And that's what we painted my VW with. I saw it in 2003, still driving around. It would look like this if that safet yellow paint faded and dulled a little.

My guess would be Cuba

Saw this in the sports section of this morning's paper. Funny, but kind of sad also ....

Makes reading the box scores quicker. Now in the Big 10 (18)......

Last weekend you could watch Big 10 games continuously from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. (central time) as long as you are in an area with the Big10 network. The games were on 4 days in a row and available on 4 different stations.
