^My old standby and the scent my daughter loves, "Midnight Jasmine", and new to me "Juicy Citrus & Sea Salt", "Dried Lavender & Oak" and "White Jasmine".
^ New to me: " A Calm & Quiet Place".
Any other Yankee candle fans here? I just got a coupon in the mail for buy two, get two free so I bought eight candles. My daughter will get at least one of them and the rest I'll save like I did last year when I bought them and use them over the next year. My current favorite scent, "Shore Breeze", is no longer available but they often times bring back scents.
The Kittredge family whom started Yankee candle are a big car enhtusiast family. They formerly had a 20,000 square foot car museum in western Mass. The son of the founder of Yankee Candle opened up his own candle store called Kringle candle in western Mass www.kringlecandle.com it is just over the Vt/Mass line off of route 91. They host a cars n' coffee once a month and it is one of if not my favorite car shows to go to.
Patty I was at the Detroit Auto Show when the new NSX was introduced. Sorry but It didn't do anything for me then, nor now. To me It looks like the designer walked up to a brick of clay with a machete and just started swinging. I always liked the one you already have.
I felt the same way. I rode in a black one at NSXPO in Palm Springs at the Thermal Club with Peter Cunningham and it was a thrill but I've never driven one nor desired one. I don't like the rear end view. This Valencia Red, though, changes my opinion. It comes in blue but that didn't make me want one. I've come to realize I like the hunt, after my brother-in-law mentioned it to me. We both like the hours spent online researching and finding what ever it is. Right now, it's snowing. It's hard to imagine buying the car. It's also hard to imagine it being sold in New York any time soon. If I didn't have Tesla stock I'd not be considering this. My dad would be proud! He bought his 1992 red NSX when he was 65 years-old. I'm about to be 63.
^My dad's NSX with my 2001 S2000 in Acton, CA.
^10-7-2015. Sunset the first night of NSXPO.
^1-9-2015. After my ride. It was the first time Peter had driven the new NSX. He loved it but I get carsick, as you know, so he went at a more conservative pace for me.
^10-9-2015. Peter and me after my thrill ride. I won a raffle.
We had been to that car museum on a trip up that way, Robb. We were disappointed when it was no longer there. Yankee Candle also had a restaurant at their facility. Totally lit by candles. Had dinner there once.
OK. some more from Lakota Wolf Preserve. More on the place. They have 4 enclosures setup along a center axis. From the middle, you're at the corner of all four. Normal patrons walk in a middle corral, but for a fee and small group tour, you leave the corral, and walk along the fence to the enclosures. They have spots on the fence with the fence cut out and another fence overlaid. They take the 2nd fence off so you have an opening. Some are just a square foot, others, maybe 3 or 4 square feet in size. They are all 4-5 feet from the ground. I wish they had a few 2 feet from the ground to look eye level, but I guess that's a risk. Inside the fence is a single electrified wire that runs the perimeter. The wolves aren't trained, but, are people - comfortable. They know there's snacks coming. When we just sat near the corral, some packs would walk the fence (Kayla/Abby), while others (Teton/Rain) would wander around. Sometimes, just watching them was enough, other times, I wanted to shoot pics. They also have an arctic wof that had a brain tumor and was rescued. In the wild, she (Sassa) would have been left for dead. She's 1/2 the size of the others and wobbly on her feet, but is adorable. By far, Teton and Rain were most active, moved around in their enclosures. Abby and Kayla were stunning but needed treats to move around. I still have another card to dig through, mostly Teton and Rain, plus the other Timber Wolves - Ardan and Cyrus.

My favorites. What a huge treat to go see them! There's a rescue in Colorado but it's not open to the public right now. My daughter was there a few years ago. Seven Wolf Sanctuaries.
Funny story. I suppose this was the result of the number of comments I made on the 1G Accord from the Realtime collection that sold on BaT right before mine was listed. But shortly after I posted a couple of questions about a Honda Acty based fire truck on Cars and Bids, I got a message from a Peter Cunningham asking if I planned to bid on it, because he might. My first thought was "Surely it's not THE Peter Cunningham" but a few messages back and forth made it clear that it was the man himself.
In my life I have met Don Garlits and Oscar Jackson and both were a thrill. Now I can also say I have "corresponded" with Peter Cunningham, as long as we use the term loosely.
(I met Mr. Garlits when he was hosting a "garage sale" at his Drag Racing Museum. LB bought a thermos there and wrote a really cool post here about the experience.)
