I'm about 75% sure we are adopting a dog tomorrow that we just saw at the Animal Shelter.  He's part German Shepard and part Great Dane--about as big as that there horse.  Not the way I expected to spend my twilight years, looking after a small horse.  But sometimes life just sneaks up on you.

If you've been watching reruns of 'Top Gear' on BBC America, then you may know that they showed the Botswana special today, reintroducing us to Oliver the 1963 Opel Kadett, possibly the only car on 'Top Gear' ever to receive a name.  One fan has rendered Oliver lovingly and painstakingly as a precious plushy--for more pictures of her project and the story of its construction, please go here:

Let the Top Gear Fan Art Fringe Festival begin!  I can only take credit for the name, none of the art.  Above, an installation of a matchbox-sized Ford GT [I think, I'm only guessing] into the pages of one of Jeremy Clarkson's books.

I'm glad it rains a lot in London, because Mr. James May looks pretty darn good in the damp.

In order to make sure that attributions and credit go to all the right people, I'm going to link you to a post on my Tumblr page here instead of trying to re-create it on this blog.  And happy Mother's Day!

I only subscribe to one channel on Youtube, and I do that only because I want to be the first to know when Friday comes and there is a new installment of 'James May's Q & A' on HeadSqueezeTV.  If you haven't checked it out, you must, and you can see this week's vid here:
