OT-Old Cars and Famous People

Had an interesting day yesterday. I was driving along and spotted this thing ahead of me. So I did the proper thing and hold up traffic on the interstate while I carefully took pictures while driving



Then after not crashing I made it to where I was going and got to meet Dr. Ben Carson. What a day!

Well I got one of 15 pre release copies of his book One Nation about two months prior to it being on sale so that was pretty sweet. Got me and my mug on his Twitter page. It also got me in the front of the line to meet him when he visited Lifeway in Meridian Ms. I honestly think my nerves would calm down if he were elected.

Cool story. Ben's a good man. I was stationed in Meridian many years ago. Passed thru once, about 15 years ago. Hardly recognized the place.
