Good morning, good evening, wherever you may be. Welcome to "The City", where our current temperature is 66° at just past 3:30 a.m. We may see a low of 61° later this morning.The balance of the week in GH looks about the same. Some days will be sunny, others partly cloudy. In other words, an atypical week in GH.

In other parts of the country, the only rainy day in the forecast at this time is Sunday, July 20, 2014. That's a partially useful piece of information, just like a partial score in sports.

Speaking of sports, thanks Howard, the boys in blue fell on hard times again, losing to the Braves, 7 - 10. My beloved Red Sox really hung one on the Astros, hammering them, 11 - 0. The Tigers took a gut punch from the Royals, 2 - 5. The Caps eked out another one, 6 - 5 over the Dayton Dragons.

In train news, I had to rely on one of the train spotters on my staff to gather info about the southbound run at 11:45 p.m last night. The northbound run is due soon, and I'll add that information when it comes in as a Breaking News Alert!. I didn't make it, it is time for bed. 

Sunday dawned sunny and bright with clear blue skies. That meant that the Wheels of GH car show came off without a hitch. Before Mary and I journeyed to the show, we took Sugar the Weather Dog for her morning walk, and then stopped by the local independent bookseller for a copy of the New York Times. We spent a couple of hours reading that before we left and another hour or so when we returned. We are still not done. Like Mary says, the Times can be read over several days without a problem. In fact, it probably should be. We haven't had much time lately due to our work schedule, to do any extracurricular reading.

Once we got over to the car show, I took a few pictures, as promised, and then we went to Pronto Pup for a quick snack. There really isn't anything like sitting on the waterfront and eating a Pronto Pup dog with mustard. Then it was time for home and more N.Y. Times reading followed by my book. Then it was finally off to the deck for some "Bone Zone" action. I read, drank a little wine and listened to the oldies station out of GR. What's not to like?

Today, we have a trip to make to two big-box home centers, and then we can settle in at home and finish the Grand Haven Tribune and the N.Y. Times. I have the magazine section to finish and then the crossword puzzle is all mine. I think it's time for some laundry too, but that is always optional. The sun will  rise at 6:16 a.m. and set at 9:21 p.m. Ciao

So without further ado, here are some of the promised pictures from the car show, along with one other to show that the Central Park Fountain is once again up and running.

This is a Crosley, from England, like the ones my dad always talked about. Lawn tractors have bigger engines than this car. In fact, my dad always said that he wanted to find one here in the U.S. and make it into a lawn tractor. He never did.

It just looked cool.

Same reason.

My older brother had a similar Corvair back in the day.

Why? Why not? A 1969 Camaro Z/28 much like a car I once owned.

1960 El Camino. Because I liked the looks.

Last shot as we left town for home.
