"LET'S RIDE........GRIZZLIES STYLE"

"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." ~ Bill Cosby

I'm feeling slightly "under the weather" (sinus trouble......sigh), so I'm posting this one a day early (Sunday). I won't be able to comment on tomorrow (Monday), but I'll catch up when the meds wear off:).

Thanks for your comments on "The Life of Riley" (B.B. King statue) submission to IndigoStudios's "African American-History Month" challenge with the theme "At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality." The photo landed in the #1 spot.

Although not the official Memphis Grizzlies car, the driver of this Mercury Grand Marquis must be a huge fan of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies:), but I forgot to ask.  Anyway, while driving through one of the neighborhoods in B.B. King's hometown, I spotted this car turning on the street while we were sitting at the corner waiting to turn. I got out of the vehicle, flagged him down, and asked if I could take a pic. He kindly smiled and said, "Sure, Ma'am."  I like the Grizzlies, but all the world knows that I am a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers (and yes, Kobe Bryant) fan.

Have a marvelous Monday and a great start to the work week.

"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!
