Ralph needs a Talbot-Lago.<br /><br />In Erin's post on loving Cleveland, I strayed with Swine off topic into the new music underground. But I do love Cleveland, and bought commercial property here after having for several years been seriously considering leaving this region. I'm still pissed at the way this town has been carpetbagged. But I'll be damned if I'll let the elite political slime, the poverty pimps and the hoodrats finish gutting her. Fuckers. Jig's up, turn around and put your hands behind your back, like the man says.<br /><br />When I considered moving it was to Pittsburgh, another gritty post-rust town that really has its shit together, baby. One of the many jewels is the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, a 10-day event in mid-September where an international crowd shows up to watch ancient Porsche 4-cam Carreras and Matra-Cosworths race on the parkway around Carnegie-Mellon University. It is a benefit for autism, I think they've raised over $2M so far in 20+ years.<br /><br />Erin, awesome puzzle, I admire people with attention spans immensely.philbillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-62563620182006089472011-01-22T07:52:56.096-05:002011-01-22T07:52:56.096-05:00Craft: that's the word that nails it, Sean.

This product is crafted--even down to the quality of the image and how it's glued to the wood.<br /><br />Limes is back--super yay!<br /><br />I finished the puzzle, folks, couldn't keep my grubby paws off of it.<br /><br />Now I'm working on a beautiful old Springbok circular puzzle "The Adoration of the Kings" from 1966 (the readership will note that I am one year older than said puzzle).<br /><br />I guess I am a puzzleholic.<br /><br />Also note, I sent this link over to Liberty and got a nice note back. We puzzlers take care of one another.<br /><br />erf!Erin O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09089592061725346901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-51148624129216427882011-01-21T11:04:01.505-05:002011-01-21T11:04:01.505-05:001.
