More from Houston

We have this guy in Northwest Portland who has glued miniature statues of buildings all over his car. I LOVE it. I mean how cool would it be to totally turn your car into one big statue. Rick would kill me if I did anything like that but boy do I love that kind of stuff. I suggested a bottle tree in the front yard but he vetoed that idea as well.

In Houston, they take their art cars seriously. They have a museum dedicated to art cars. And they have an annual parade that is a big deal. Last year there were 250 art cars and over 200,000 spectators. Like I said, they take this seriously.

Here are a few of the cars we saw.

The detail on this car was amazing.

This one we saw just out on the street one day.

This was outside of the museum. Why the horse is there I have no idea.

    Lee, I love this stuff too. So, if Rick won’t go for the car idea, how about a tree sweater instead …. check this out: http://0301.netclime.net/1_5/0ab/0b9/1ec/Xenia%20Daily%20Gazette%20Knit%20Knot%20Tree.pdf
