"MISSISSIPPI GOAL" Statue

"A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face.  It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy." ~ Edward P. Morgan

The "Mississippi Goal" statue was a gift from family and friends of Emily Seymour Johnson.

I really appreciate your comments on yesterday's "Leaves of Red" photo.

Day is done - and so is the month of February.

"THE LIFE OF RILEY"

“The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.” ~  B. B. King 
 
February is African-American History Month and this is my contribution to IndigStudios's African-American History challenge today with the theme of "At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality." B.B. King was born Riley B. King and is an African-American blues guitarist and singer-songwriter who is quite endearing to all nationalities and age groups of people. Additional information is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.B._King

Believe it or not, but when I read her invite on 2/10/2013 to participate, this photo had already been uploaded to this gallery for my post for today - proof by the date (see below) it was taken. Although I am not a fan of blues music, I like B.B. King. I first met him when he visited and performed at my university's alma mater years ago; and to this day, he has continued the tradition.

Thanks for taking time to peruse and comment on my photos; SmugMuggers rock!!!!

Have an "I hear the music" kind of day, my friends.

"MEMORABILIA WALL"

"If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!" ~ Author Unknown

For some reason, this wall reminded me of a scene that one would see inside a Hard Rock Hotel.

Thanks for your kind comments on the "Yellow Jacket" Dodge Challenger yesterday. It was bee-stinging bright, wasn't it? You should have seen it in person; I thought I was going to need my shades:).

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

"MEMORABILIA WALL, TOO"

"The end of labor is to gain leisure." ~ Aristotle

Pool table, boxing gloves, Beetles picture.......does it get any more eclectic than that:)? For some reason, this wall reminded me of a scene that one would see inside a Hard Rock Hotel.
 
Hang in there; tomorrow is Friday!

"HEADLIGHT - 2"

"The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers."  ~ Excerpt from 16 Things It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn by Dave Barry, nationally syndicated columnist

"The Dodge Challenger set the standard for classic muscle once. And now its doing it again. With chrome tip dual exhaust, beautifully sculpted hoods with scoops, and available 20-inch wheels, the muscle car is back. And it has more to flex than ever" ~ Reprinted text from the offical Dodge website here: http://www.dodge.com/en/2013/challenger/

"2013 Nissan Silver Leaf"

"Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly."  ~ Author Unknown

Our oldest son is an employee of Nissan USA. I love the crystallized look of the vertical lights. 

"The Nissan LEAF® is 100% electric. That means no gas. None. Never pay for gas again. When we say 100% electric, we mean it. The Nissan LEAF® doesn’t even have a gas tank. You’ll never fill up again. Sounds liberating, doesn’t it? So forget about the cost of a gallon, and say hello to freedom from the pump. Because the only time you’ll be going to the gas station is whenever you need to put air in your tires." ~ Reprinted text from here: http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/features/

"FORMERLY OWNED BY SUGAR RAY LEONARD"

"The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys." ~ Doris Rowland

On display, although not for sale, was this black Bentley Turbo-R, which the current owner contends was formerly owned by boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard.  According to the information card, production was between 1985-1997, with 7,230 assembled in Crewe, Shire, England. This one is a 4 door Sedan and has a 6.75 L, Bentley 8 engine. Also, this model is related to the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.

I appreciate your comments on the "Headlight 2 " photo yesterday. Although it was in the #1 spot, according to the number of comments, it was actually #4.
