You Know You've Been Watching Too Much E!...

Along comes an old LandRover...EXACTLY like Johnny baby's!! So, I'm
trying 'desperately' not to say anything to make my darling hubby's eyes
roll...but couldn't stand it. So, I said..'Boy, that was an old
LandRover!'...to which he replied...'Yeah, just like that guy drives in
Emergency, right???'.....oh dear, caught again!! ;-)

Hmmm let me think here for a sec. Couldn't have been back East, there's no
sage brush there. Oh yea, got it!
You were heading to Las Vagas and was about 15 miles west of Middlevale. (You decided on
a vacation and wanted to drive from Los Angles to Halifax through Maine) It
was on a two lane state highway somewhere in Nevada. There were three guys in
this Land Rover. One had black hair, the other red hair, and their one had a
fishing hat on with fishing hooks stuck in it. The Land Rover was a white job, and
was making good time. You had since passed Middlevale which didn't have much, a gas
station, and a small doctor's office. an old black 1958 Cadillac was parked at the
doctor's office. You stopped to tank up on gas and while your better half was doing
so, you saw the black Cadiallac that had Funeral Home written on it. You noticed a red
revolving light on the roof and wondered why a red light was on the hearse.
You passed an intersection that somehow would be part of another story...

Well let's see in case the repley didn't go through..
Since this couldn't have taken place in Nova Scotia, as there isn't any sagebrush
there, you were on the eighth day of a trip across the U.S. After spending a week
in sunny California (and of course taking pictures of important landmarks such as Station 127,
UCLA Medical Centre, Station 110, the Los Angles County Fire Department centre - after of
course visitng the museum and posting in front of the 1971 Dodge D300 which was Squad 51),
you two are making your way through Nevada after a stop in Barstow. After turning off
Interstate 15 to take a state highway to end up at Laughlin, you pass through a small town
called Middlevale. Here, you stop to get gas at the Shell station there. While your
hubby is filling up, you get out and look around. You see a doctor's office. A doctor who
looks like a relic from the 1970's goes in, as does some kid with curly hair. A black late
1950's Cadillac is parked in front of the building. You notice it has a red revolving light
on the roof, and wonder why it's on a hearse.
Later, you are on the way east to Laughlin. You're making good time, and while Tim drives,
you spot a white vehicle ahead as it approaches. Along comes an old LandRover...EXACTLY like Johnny baby's!!
So, you are trying 'desperately' not to say anything to make your darling hubby's eyes roll...but couldn't
stand it. So, you said..'Boy, that was an old LandRover!'...to which he replied...'Yeah, just like that guy
drives in Emergency, right???'
You peer into the Land Rover and see three guys in it. You can't make out details as the closing
speed of each is 60 miles an hour. But you notice one has black hair, the other dark brown hair,
and the third has a moustache, and has a fishing hat on with fish hooks stuck in it.
YOu're bewildered. You turn around and the Land Rover is gone. But the story continues from two
miles east of a rural intersection that you passed, and two vehicles just met there, but they never left
the intersection. The Land Rover will approach that intersection soon and an interesting series of
events begin to take place...

I was driving past a house one day and noticed such a Land Rover,
painted red. Actually, I've been looking at a lot of websites
devoted to old Rovers (a really good one is www.oldrover.com)
that are chock full of info on classic Rovers. The old ones are
really cool. The newer Land Rovers/Range Rovers kind of strike me
as ordinary SUVs and thusly, boring.
--slg. (in the market for a Land Rover...assuming she can learn
how to drive a manual transmission and find an older one in
good shape.)

cool...just couldn't help myself...but, that my hubby mentioned the E!

The other day my son was drawing a picture and he says, "Look here, right
between the ramparts." Now *that* caught my attention. Rampart? I looked at
the picture. It was a picture of a castle.
