It’s Friday! This is day 6 of the heatwave in Illinois. Now it’s not supposed to dip below 90 degrees until Sunday. Even then 88 degrees isn’t exactly a huge relief.

I was able to check out the weekly car show in Plainfield last Tuesday. Now it was exceptionally hot & humid, so I wasn’t surprised to see fewer than usual cars. However, there were plenty of people, so go figure. I was able to get some decent shots that I put into an easy-to-view gallery below. By the way, if you find yourself at a show in your area, snap a few photos and send ’em in!

So that’s it for me. Enjoy the double babes, double jokes, and a whole bunch of automotive goodness!

It’s Thursday. And the heat and humidity heatwave continues into day 5. I took a break from working early afternoon and went outside to read for a bit. That lasted only 20 minutes. It was just too damn sticky out there.

The follow-up to the 2019 film Joker is scheduled for release in October. It’s called Joker: Folie à Deux and it has been done as a musical. Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the killer clown during the beginning stages of his twisted romance with Harley Quinn, who is played by Lady Gaga. Strange? Probably an understatement.

It’s Wednesday. The heat and humidity continues into day 4 of our heatwave in Illinois. All you can hear outside is the electric hum of all the air conditioning units working hard throughout the neighborhood. However, relief may be on the way this weekend when the temperature is expected to dip below 90! That’s right, they’re predicting a high of only 89 Saturday & Sunday!

Today I have a gallery of automotive goodness from something called Oldstice in Olds, Alberta. I’ll let PJ explain below.

Hi Keep,

My wife is in Olds, Alberta for a college class and she got some shots of a car show there in celebration of “Oldstice”. Olds is aboot 60 miles north of Calgary, aye!

“Summer Oldstice returns once more – June 15th, 2024! Summer Oldstice is an ever-evolving celebration of summer activities and “retail therapy”. We kick things off with our annual Pancake Breakfast in the parking lot of 50th Street and 50th Avenue. We are excited to have the Mountain View Pistons host a Show ‘n’ Shine on the streets of Uptowne Olds until 2 pm. Sidewalk sales bustle with specials. Our restaurants have patios popping and delicious specials available for your palate. Games and activities abound for the kids. There are more attractions and opportunities to take in, and more ideas come forward every year to keep the event fresh and fun.”

Feel free to use or not.

PJ
