Very interesting as I had a similar experience when a close cousin of mine passed. Involved him in a dream that came true later that night.
Greg, I don't remember specifically what was on but there was music playing normally on of all the stations. When I first noticed, I was listening to the local classic rock station, 106.9. I glanced over and saw "Sister" and thought that was a weird coincidence. Then I realized the song didn't fit the title and nearly ran off the road.

David - that's so cool. Creepy, but cool. Lots more to this world than meets the eye, methinks.

Took the dogs for out to the big county dog park along the river and caught these lovebirds:

And the dogs, of course.

Took my 78 Catalina Safari by the Old Royal Pontiac Dealership for a few shots a few weeks before they moved the demolition equipment in.

Went to the drags Saturday, and when I got back to my pit this was there.

I like to play in the water...lol! Funny story about the photo. I can't bend my knees (both legs are fused straight). Didn't want to get my shoes wet, so I had to get out from the passenger side. No problem if you can bend you legs. I almost got stuck trying inside the car (Firebirds aren't exactly roomy), but I got out without falling or getting wet...and I got the shot.

Removed the trans from my Dads Camaro.

We don't have a transmission jack, so we just use the tool cart lol

My son wanted to drive the GTO last week. I told him if he washed and waxed it he could drive it this summer. Cleanest it’s been in a few years!

Beautiful shot as are the ones in your album. I wish I had the talent to take pictures like that.
