Our buddy Dwayne asked if we wanted to go to a car show in Tulsa today. Of course! So he, my buddy Farmer, the Husbear, the housemate Interloper and myself all ventured over in the rainy gloominess.

I’m not a car guy by any stretch, but I love the lines and shapes found on classic automobiles.

One of these things is not like the other, but they all will kill you, apparently.

After the car show, we grabbed some food, then headed to Garden Ridge to look around.

It was a good day.
