I met a fascinating guy at Starbucks. I sat down in a comfy chair across from an older gentlemen and we started talking, now in his mid 70's Tom had a truly interesting life. He is an artist, he helped to restore cars, motorcycles and other vehicles with his airbrush. He worked for Mr. Harrah (of the Harrah Casinos) in Reno, restoring everything from rollsroyces to cable cars. I got to hear about some of the challenges including the researching original art/logos in order to keep things accurate. It was a welcome break from thinking about libraries. Some of the collection can be seen at: National Automobile Museum: Reno
Later that night Krista, Terrial and I went to dinner at the Brazillian Braza Grill. My first time with Brazillian food, it was very yummy.
In the further adventures of Jenny's Keys...
I found a second key to my Echo in the bottom of my suitcase. 'Cool' I thought and reasoned that it would be more useful if I put it in my purse. After all, my purse is now so large that it cannot be hidden in the car and must come with me all the time. So I put it in my purse and continued my day.
On my way home, I stopped at the Lava exit for a break. I was desperate and encumbered, what with trying to find and get my coat on and gloves and grab my bag. I was out of the car with my hands full and the door shut, only to find that I really had locked my keys in the car. There was a moment of panic and then I realized that HEY! I put my spare key in my purse that morning. So I dashed into the quick stop and didn't worry about it.
I visited both the Weber County Main Public Library and the Weber State University Library and got lots of good ideas and stories.
