Two weeks ago, Geyserville, the tiny burg we call home, hosted its annual Fall Colors Celebration and Hot Rod Show. Far and away the star of the show - in my eyes, anyway - for the short time it was on display - was this fabulous baby-blue Buick, with a big On/Off switch on the back, known as The Blue Meanie. I clumsily deleted my pictures of the great German Gothic mirror-silver lettering along the side of the car, but my lovely wife cb got these great pics, showing the awesome rake of the thing, hunched up on its big rear wheels. After sitting curbside for a short while, the driver got in and drove it off, and when he was a quarter-mile away at the edge of town, he gunned it, and it sounded like an Indy car as he disappeared in a puff of blue-grey smoke. Was it a dream? We may never see it again - it was for sale for ten grand.
