Little Red Corvette

  Once in a while an assignment will end up being way more fun than you can ever expect. With the famous person name on the assignment you walk into them a little leery however because you never know how much additional baggage you will have to wade thru.
  The name Ruth Buzzi and her car came across and I started to smile just remembering all those "Laugh In" skits from when I was a kid. Had not seen anything about her in a while so I really was not sure what to expect and as funny as she is it could not possibly be a Cadillac or some other conservative sedan could it?
  When the writer Laura Meyn and I show up on her ranch, we meet her husband Kent Perkins and what turns out to be only one of the stable of cars the couple own. A gorgeous red 1964 Corvette, just as feisty as the comedian herself. In beautiful but driver condition and a rumble that could make any car fan salivate.
  After spending a most delightful morning with the two of them and a couple of dogs that helped with the photos as well I have to admit they are one of the most delightful couples with none of the pretensions you would expect from the entertainment industry.

Getting Dive Bombed

  So the dogs get to take an adventure which started with a visit to a friends bunkhouse near Fort Davis that takes advantage of the cattle water tank as a swimming hole. So of course they had to check it out, march along the rim and get a cool drink. They just never expected to be attacked by the swarm of dragonflys while looking around. Did not phase Kimo much since he went swimming any way but Yodi got a little spooked and made a run for it. Guess the baying of all the cows had shook him up from the beginning.
