No I wouldn't know about the coins.. I never saw Hank W. He would perform close to here (Williams Grove Park) and we would see the bus and hear some of the music. Too poor to go inside (I was just a little kid and wouldn't have liked it anyway).

What a crowded meet! We were packed in there with swimmers, spectators, meet officials and vendors. I'm wearing my wide brimmed sun hat & sunglasses. Out of this sea of people, I hear "Laurie!" and I see it's Yoga Lady! How you ever spotted me was amazing. One clue that may have assisted you... I was wearing my bright orange print blouse...same one I wore to Jodi's get together. It was fun seeing another Kt'er : ) Yes, Jodi...I'm in!

We were traveling at 65 MPH outbound in the center lane on the Edens Expressway one afternoon recently when traffic braked to a sudden halt. About ten cars ahead of us in our lane one car had just been hit hard enough by someone in the fast lane to spin first car 180 degrees. No one appeared to have been hurt, but both cars had serious damage and traffic had to weave around them. Someone had pulled over on the right shoulder and was using his cell phone, presumably to report the accident. We congratulated ourselves that it had not happened to us, and that we were not in the resulting long backup. Not five miles along the road, we observed the identical scene in traffic headed inbound! That must have happened slightly earlier, as the backup was already miles long. Police and ambulance were trying to reach the accident via the median shoulder. But wait! There's more! The next morning the radio traffic reporter announced "an accident in the middle lane of the Edens, inbound" near where we observed the prior two accidents. It made me think how easily all expressway traffic in the city could be tied up by just a few similar incidents.

I loved it. Might be best picture at the Academy Awards. Good story (taken from Westward Expansion and Native American part of our history???), lots of really impressive visuals. The costuming of the Navi was really creative and must have been a wonderful job for the costumers--they could just let their imaginations run free. Apparently there are 3 versions: regular movie, 3D and 3D on the Imax screen. I saw the 3D version. Bigger and louder isn't for me, so I didn't do the Imax.
