Blue Morning Blue Day
Earlier in the week we had blue, fogging light in the morning., and a clear blue light through partly cloudy skies in the afternoon.
Funky VWs
A couple of interesting custom built VWs at the Super Nationals Car Show. The bus is actually built with the distorted curvature. It's not the lens this time.
Wendy the Drag Racer
I went to the Super Nationals car show at Expo New Mexico on Sunday afternoon and had the pleasure of meeting Wendy Riesland who races a rail dragster named Orange Crush, sponsored by NAPA. Orange Crush was set up for sand racing at the Super National show, with tractor-like rear tires and wider front tires on solid rims. By changing out the rear end, putting slicks on the rear and thin, wire rimmed wheels on the front, Orange Crush is ready to take on the traditional 1/4 mile drag strip. Wendy's husband told me they had just uploaded a video of her sand racing, but I didn't find it. However, I did find a video of Wendy racing Orange Crush on a traditional 1/4 mile drag strip, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCxkycZ5oYA, and an "orange crush dragster ride along" drag cam video where the action is recorded from the driver's seat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qVdvLIFzYg. Albuquerque's 2015 drag race season begins March 7th at Albuquerque Dragway.
Surprise!
Spunk was playing on the counter chair for the camera to work of some of his kitty debt. The depth-of-field is very narrow at ƒ/1.4, so Spunk moves out of the focal plain very quickly moving from one spot to the next. He had come in from the catio where the early morning temperature was 25ºF. His paw was so cold his tongue stuck to it. After a bout of wild activity he decided to sit like a Sphinx and take a breather.

A touch of Green
One of the wild cats that hangs out in the yard. He was sunning himself on one of our mulch piles, crouching down in a low profile in hopes that I wouldn't notice him. It looks like he got into some green paint making his rounds.
Cat-Like Typing
Najar was helping to keep the Internet radio tuned in while Laurie was in the shower. Najar was also helping with the laundry.
