In fact I saw similar ones more than ten years ago in Montreal, which I blogged at the time:<br /><br />https://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2009/09/montreals-mermen.html<br /><br />Those car problems sound dramatic!

Before cell phones, you would need to hitch a ride back to town to get help if your car broke down. Ugh!

Those experiences are a hassle at best, and they can be much worse. It was fun seeing the pics from Galveston, too. I've not been on the Strand for several years. The closest I get is the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe on 14th. It's some of the best food on the island, and THE best bakery.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-61011634816682515282021-04-19T00:21:21.834-05:002021-04-19T00:21:21.834-05:00We went to Galveston several years ago but it was ...We went to Galveston several years ago but it was only to see the air museum!

I think that was a long way to go without a serpentine belt!<br />Went through Galveston once, with a car full of kids and niece and nephews, on vacation. My brother's van rolled over 100,000. I wonder what the kids remember.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-80233736967927232582021-04-18T19:32:57.365-05:002021-04-18T19:32:57.365-05:00Our entire trip was full of things not working on ...Our entire trip was full of things not working on the RV. Since I was already distraught, it was on the sidelines for me. About two hours before we arrived at my sister's house all the systems that were on the fritz suddenly sprang to life.

I would want a frog, of course!<br />Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-75005903102901741722021-04-18T19:30:47.533-05:002021-04-18T19:30:47.533-05:00Lucky she wasn't alone dealing with the car ex...Lucky she wasn't alone dealing with the car excitement.

I recommend it. It is easy to use and works well. <br />Those mermen are delightful. Someone had a very good idea. <br />"Electromagnetic frequency infused jewelry?" Oh please. People will believe anything. <br />Galveston looks lovely. Reminds me a little bit of Thomasville, Georgia which is right up the road from us. <br />Sorry about the car trouble.
