First of all, the car show was this last Saturday, not the weekend before. The weather was great, sunny, low humidity, nice breeze. Bill said it was a lot more fun than he anticipated it would be. You know, sometimes small town local things are kind of dorky. They had some really great old cars though. I think the thing that really struck me was that most of them were not restored. They were simply in perfect condition. How does that happen? Anyway, they also had a section of what the man referred to as "bad ASS" cars. There were the usual suspects, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche. But...they also had several Lotus. Whoa. Now those are cool!!
My next old vs new thing is...toilets. So, we live in a house that was built in 1971. It has 2 bathrooms. In one, the toilet is a couple years old, and tall. I like it. The other, is O*L*D. The plumber said at least 20 years. He also told us it would have to be replaced soon ~ it just didn't the have the oomph it used to. Plus, it was big and used a lot of water. We replaced it last weekend. Every time I flush the new one, I'm amazed at how well it works. I know that's dumb but I just got used to the old one. Like the new fridge. The old one was just fine, but the new one has an ice maker! And I still don't mind doing the dishes in the sink. I mean, there's only 2 of us. So the new dishwasher is great, but it's one of those things I could live without.
And my last old vs new thing...food. Did you ever like Spegettio's and Chef Boyardee raviolis when you were younger? Do you remember the snack, Bugles? Those are SO icky by the way.
When was the last time you ate those? I can't even tell you when the last time was for me...35/40 years ago? And I can't tell you what came over me to want them this weekend! That's what we had for dinner Saturday night. Chef Boyardee Raviolis. They were yummy. Don't laugh, try them again! Maybe it was a nostalgic thing?
