Carspotting: Fallon edition-- Bradley GT

Apparently, this was a popular VW Beetle-based kit car that was supposed to have gullwing doors.  More info here.

Carspotting: Winnemucca edition-- 2 Pontiac Bonnevilles

I'm back!  More trip reports will be coming.  I've enlarged my photos from the prior trip posts below.

I spotted this green Bonneville on my drive back to the motel last night after an excellent Basque dinner in Winnemucca.  This morning, as I left town, I found it at the same spot.  And when I was done taking pictures of it, I noticed the newer Bonneville parked right across the street.

Photos of Ceausescu, Qaddafi, and the hole Qaddafi was hiding in

And now, he's dead.

Here's where Qaddafi was hiding.

Here are photos of Qaddafi and Romania's Ceausescu.  The pictures are graphic and that's why I'm displaying them as discretely as possible.  Eight months ago, I compared Libya 2011 with Romania 1989.  It's fitting how their respective rulers' last photos, showing them dead and sprawled out on the ground, look nearly identical.
