NIghtmares

Today's the 2nd "House of Nightmares" group shoot event in Columbus, held in a building which is a "haunted house" during Halloween season and I guess at other times of the year. I did get some nice stuff last year, and hope that this time around goes as well, although one of the few decent windows to provide light has been boarded up, so that will present an added challenge, plus there's a formal "area reservation" scheme in place which will probably present other challenges. That, and people have been dropping out left and right, and it's going to be one of the first genuinely hot and humid days of the year, so we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck.

Here are a couple more of Rhia, completely unrelated to the HON event, but still looking lovely.

Dead

Well, word is that the car I wrecked in NYC has been totaled, so it's a goner. Do have a loaner from my generous mechanic here in town while I figure out what to do next. Think I'll have to go shopping this weekend and next week, but not much I hate more than car shopping just because of the uncertainty of it. Well, actually, the certainty that whatever I buy will have some sort of major malfunction that will end up costing additional hundreds or thousands of dollars. Most of the cars I've bought in my life have worked out that way, even if I have a mechanic check them out in advance.

Maybe the answer is to buy a total piece of crap for cash, KNOWING it will require money to keep it running, and consider the repair bill as the "car payment." I wonder if the beat up old Impala that Rhia is reclining on here is available?



P.S. One good thing I've found about having people who dislike you is that you can count on them to be your most faithful blog readers.
