While you're at it, get the history on that factory that it supports. I've asked at the town's historical society, BuckSkin. Will let you know if they respond. |

1938 Buick 
Is it a RoadMaster ? My buddy has a 1938 RoadMaster Buick the same color in his garage.
The front bumper is touching the wall and the door just grazes the rear bumper; there is so much junk piled all around it that it would take a major event to get it outside; it looked brand-new when it was pulled in there; I would say it would be quite dusty now.I saw that the steering wheel was covered in mother-of-pearl. |

I doubt any of these modern day cars will still be road-worthy 86-years from now, or even 30-years from now. |

.
I had a conversation with the couple sitting in the car, they had their three teenage grandsons visiting them from interstate. Funny thing was that the kids initially refused to go driving in the car because there were no seatbelts and they didn't consider it to be safe. When the boys got back down from the crater walk and the gentleman tried to start the car it didn't want to start, but after a few tries it roared into action and away they went. |

I am surprise it gets that cold there to form ice in the river. Actually we don't get ice on the river all that often as it has a very strong current. There is quite a bit today but we are supposed to warm up next week.
More and more people are sending their "heat pumps" to the land-fill and replacing them with coal stoves. |

I don't know if I ever saw a Black Swan before; there sure is a bunch of them; they could descend upon a freshly planted field and get every seed.
If they are anything likes ducks and geese, you had best watch where you step and check your shoes real close before getting back in the vehicle.

You can expect more ice in the future as global warming takes it's grip I casually noticed during our recent brutal cold snap that most of the day record low temps have been in the past 30 years. A one or two degree drop in global temps (and it will happen in a decade or century) will crash global food production. We'll miss it but it will happen. |

Change of gears. I had a long walk in the valley today. This immature bald eagle was somewhat cooperative but had its limit and flew away twice. I logged a lot of steps following it. It was likely born last spring. It it was going into its third tear its head would have some lighter brown feathers.   |

I wonder how often they land on an old rotten snag like in the top photo and it gives out from under them; it could be just about to go six feet lower; and, his weight out there at the end of the "lever" be all it takes.
