LOOK WHAT PULLED UP NEXT TO ME...

...a 100% certified redneck, decked out, Crown Vic! I just had to take a picture. Check out those wheels! And, my favorite part is the Alabama A Roll Tide on the back window. Thank goodness it didn't say War Eagle!
You can tell how high it is because it is parked next to a black pick up truck!

FRIDAY NIGHT HYPE

IT'S A BIRD.....



...IT'S A PLANE....

...NO, WAIT....IT'S A BUNCH OF INTOXICATED CRAZY PEOPLE!



We (TCW and I) had a great time at Triple T's and Big D's house on Friday. D'Rugg, T'Rugg and Drug were there. So so was sweet Lizbeth. It is so nice to spend time (mind you - quality time) with old friends. We made some new friends too!

I thought their garage door was really cool. Just had to have a picture! (Really, I was trying to turn my camera off and took a picture - but it could be art with all that cool smoke!)
