In the Eye of the Beholder

This past weekend I got a chance to step out of my comfort zone a bit while my family and I went on a little road trip.

For those who don't know, a "road trip" in Texas could land you in one of its sprawling big cities (think Houston or Dallas) or find you on a dusty old country road with no one around for miles and miles.

This particular adventure took us mostly over those back country roads with only cows, crops and bluebonnets to keep us company. But in the end, we landed near a major Interstate highway in a reasonably sized city for an antique car swap meet.

And while the swap meet experience wasn't exactly what we were expecting, we still had a great time and got to enjoy some rather savagely aged automotive beauties, including these rusted relics:


Since I'm not in the business of restoring these rusting wonders, I can just enjoy them for the simple lines, the ample leg room, and the sense of history they convey.

All in all, it was a fun day out with my guys and I can't wait until the next one!
