Many of the stories on this page are fiction.
Please keep that in mind when reading them.

Stoneman has inspired me to write again about HW's and diecast, well sort of.  That and the fact my column was removed from "archives" and into "additional columns" has given me a renewed view of the future.  What a difference a heading can make.  Anyway I have been doing a lot of writing, but not for CB's.  See my newest hobby, and one that I've been doing for a couple of years now is H.O. slot car racing.  I've written in the past about this so I won't belabor the subject further at this point.  Another thing I've been doing is writing Haiku.  Why?  I don't know.  I just sort of fell into it.

Looking for Hot Wheels
In all the wrong places.
Look at home for good stuff.

See, I've realized that the pursuit of Hot Wheels doesn't have to mean "find new" all of the time.  I have lots of Hot Wheels that I REALLY like but never bother to look at because I'm always looking for the next FE.  I took some time the other day to break out a couple of my storage boxes of Hot Wheels and it was like finding them al over again.  "Oh yeah!!  I forgot I had that car!  Cool!"  I was exclaiming for an hour or so.  My wife thought I was going nuts but then she realized I've been there for quite awhile and so she stopped worrying about it.  Common enough cars like the Orange Cuda convertible, or a bright red `57 Chevy actually bring a smile to my sometimes crusty visage.

An Orange Cuda or
Red Fifty-Seven can bring
pleasure to old man.

The Rockinator
Taking Poetic License
From those who dare read.

Love, ROCK.  (In HO slot racing, I'm known as TheRockinator ... in Haiku circles too!)
