The Jag SS100 was built by SS Cars Ltdin Coventry England from 1936 to 1939.
This precursor of the modern Jaguar MotorcarCompany we know today actually grew out ofthe Swallow Sidecar company whichmanufactured sidecars for motorcycles.
The sports car legacy was carried forwardfrom Swallow to Jaguar through the 'leaper',the famous large graceful cat that was firstintroduced as a hood ornament on the SS100.

Barn Raising

Barn Raisings were a common communal activity

throughout the 18th and 19th centuries

as settlers pushed westward in North America,

and still occur in today's Amish and Mennonite communities.

It was a tradition to place a wreath at the high point

of the frame when completed.

This 'Topping Out' practice is now carried on

by modern steel workers when a flag is hung from

the last part of a skyscraper's steel skeleton.

Devil's Tower

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

was based around an incident at Devil's Tower

and could be one of my all time favorite movies,

but since it was released in 1977 there is probably

a whole generation [or two] that haven't even heard of it.

If you are one of those, 

check your TV On Demand listings and take a look.

Chess

 

I play chess... occasionally.

I've never studied the game,

nor do I know the nomenclature for specific moves,

but I play chess.

My approach is akin to that of a game of checkers,

but I play none the less.

When I do play, I play against a computer program

that takes mili-seconds to look several moves ahead,

while I take long enough to go out for a beer

and a pizza.

I have yet to win a game, but I still play.

I mean... why not...
