The dashboard is a darker tan, and the doors have the 2 triangular windows for additional 2/70 air-conditioning. (For those who don't know, 2/70 air-conditioning means both windows down, 70 mph.)<br /><br />This was my first car, and I dearly loved it. However, as the Galaxies were prone to do, the frame rusted out from underneath it in the late 1980's and I sold it to a restorer who repaired it and still shows it to this day. My sister is good friends with the wife of the man who purchased it from me and still refers to it as "my brother's car" when she is with them.<br /><br />I thought it fitting to give one to the protagonist, although after a year of it's distinctive interior and only the yellow dome light to read by, I am sure he is far less thrilled by it than I was.<br /><br />CromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-72542961109190630452007-01-03T12:32:00.000-05:002007-01-03T12:32:00.000-05:00A '66 Ford Galaxie?

We called it the Great Blue Whale.<br /><br />At least your protagonist has plenty of room to stretch out in, while he awaits your inspiration.<br /><br /><i>It would not be the same sphere without you.</i><br /><br /><i>Igualmente,</i> my dear Dandy, and the painting has flattened out nicely. I am still moving it from room to room, as I de-clutter the household, in preparation for all the good energy I'm inviting into it. ;-)Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-21421489259042654852007-01-03T09:51:00.000-05:002007-01-03T09:51:00.000-05:00A curious thing, resolutions.

My 2006 resolution was not met as the manuscript molders unceremoniously in the lower left drawer, it's pages unedited, with the rewrite notes fading in the margins. The long-suffering protagonist fumes in his car as I have left him on a lonely stretch of wooded highway with no companions to talk to, only the AM radio in his '66 Ford Galaxie for intellectual relief.<br /><br />So congratulations, and happy anniversary/New Year's. <br /><br />CromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-88692620087962638692007-01-03T03:15:00.000-05:002007-01-03T03:15:00.000-05:00"My resolution this year is to record my life in p...<i>"My resolution this year is to record my life in painstaking detail.

Congratulations on having a jolly go at fulfilling it. <br /><br />Much looking forward to your sophomore year, Madame la Raconteuse.
