    Here are the two latest editions to my small, but growing, collection. The blue Series is a Matchbox toy that I bought from a co-worker. He was helping his parents clean out their attic and came across this. His parents bought it for him back in 1968 when they lived in England where his father...

Like the lunar eclipse this morning, it seems everything I see since he passed away in June brings to mind the phrase...

No such sound when driving straight. Sounds like brake pads squealing, but would they do that only...
