Even though I can’t drive anymore, my interest in cars hasn’t lessened one bit. And when I got this email from Car and Driver magazine, I had to check out the new Ferrari 458 Italia. Wow! Who cares if the base price is $150,000? Not me! That is one sexy car! I want one! *sigh* (We’ll overlook the fact I couldn’t afford it even if it was only $15,000. )

Of course, I’d also like a Hispano-Suiza because that’s what the heroine of my 1920s murder mystery drives. Actually, I’d love to have a bunch of classic cars. Doesn’t matter if I can’t drive them. I just want to look at them.

Re yesterday’s post about the hollow potato, I can’t believe I didn’t take pictures! And my first thought, too, was that something had eaten it from the inside. But if so, it must have teleported out because there was no sign that anything burrowed out of it. And there were no buggy remains on the inside. *g*

Tonight on TV it’s Eureka night!!!

Worked on revisions last night, then did some more research on the steampunk idea. My heroine was very talkative (what a shocker, I know) yesterday. I even wrote a little snippet of a scene! Oh, and House Draven, re my research I just googled “steampunk” and started visiting a bunch of different sites and blogs. Some are more helpful than others, of course. Do you remember the Michael Praed show The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne? It’s considered steampunk. Wish now I’d kept all the episodes I had recorded! Be nice if somebody would release it on DVD.

Reading: Right now I’m reading A Cat Under the Mistletoe by Lydia Adamson. It’s a pretty good mystery.
