I like dogs and especially sighthounds, but imagine if he had won and they announced that. Fuck sake.

I'd be a New York aged hipster in a skip cap pretending I understand difficult jazz...

I drastically overestimated how long it would take to do thing three and have now finished it. Audit of thing one has been moved forward to Monday afternoon, but thing two is more interesting, so I'm returning to that and letting 'Monday Alan' worry about thing one.

So this lets you off the hook on the paint job, Will

And google tells me it was, with that graphic, probably a Pontiac Trans Am, rather than a Dodge. I was ten, what did I know about cars...

My memory now tells me it had an American eagle graphic across the entire bonnet / hood

Bizarrely there was a Dodge Charger (or very similar) with full Confederate Flag paint job on the street behind us, in a 1980s Scottish council estate, when I was growing up. I never saw it leave the driveway.

If you have the time a short train journey north of the city takes you to Louisinana Art Museum which is well worth a visit - louisiana.dk/en/

I hate to get all Monty Python's Yorkshiremen, but what I can remember about the 70s (I was 7 in 1975) was absolutely grim.
