To celebrate the holiday season, the director of the monuments foundation in the town of Armenia, Colombia, has decorated 15 jeeps with neon colors. The initiative is called the Jeep Tour and is  part of the city’s effort to reinforce the cultural importance of jeeps, yipao and coffee to tourists.

Happy Valentines Day 2014

Searching for vintage Valentine Cards on eBay, I stumbled across this one that cracked me up. It’s not a jeep, but it seems appropriate for my wife (a former weapons specialist). It’s probably a better one than the card I got her (which I kind of got myself, since it will go back into my folders . . .lol . . . don’t worry, I’ll make it up to her).

I just spotted this vintage card, so I got it for Ann. Or maybe, I’ll give it to her, so she can give it to me? Somehow, I’ll make sure she is happy and I get the card!
