We've been quite the "stay-at-homers" for the past few days watching the Barrett-Jackson car auction on TV. The prices are certainly down from previous years. Rick pays much more attention to it than I do. I surf the net on my laptop or read - I gennerally only get excited when a really neat car comes on or maybe one I can afford!
Last year was the best auction in my opinion - Doris Day's Mercedez Benz sold for $7,500 (that's in the "I can afford that!!!!" category) and then they auctioned off iRobosaurus. For those of you who don't know - Robosaurus is the fire-breathing, U.S.) Anyway, I quite liked Robosaurus, thought it would look good on my front lawn - but it fell into the "really neat" category not the "I can afford that" category - it sold for $575,000. Which really was a bargain since it cost over $5million to build! I also liked the Ghosst-Busters car and the pair of Sonny and Cher matching Mustangs - hers was in 3 shades of pink and lots of fake zebra fur - even on the floors - gotta love THAT! LOL
btw in case you still can get a visual, here's a link to a picture of Robosaurus:

Other than that I've been doing the usual showing houses - I did an Open House today in Renfrew. Real Estate is picking up - I think it is a combination of the weather - not a lot of snow - and the fact the January is nearly over. Everyone planning to move in the Spring, is starting now to look at houses and get theirs ready to put on the market. My time of year!
Today's picture is my dad on his Indian motorcycle (guess they didn't have to worry about being politically correct back then) This picture would have been taken in the 40's I think. Thank you sooooo much, Janet, for sending it to us!
