Acker night street scenes
I'm home from a chilly evening of Christmas (and other) music. It's Acker Night, downtown is full of people, I have lots of pictures. And I'm tired. So: two street scenes that caught my fancy.
Scene the first, what the well decorated classic pickup truck is wearing this season.
Scene the second, a pause for roasted marshmallows over a warm flame.

No roasted chestnuts??? Marshmallows?
Where were the Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire? LOL
Every time I see an old pickup truck with a regular (one bench) cab, I admire what a sensible size it is. Easy to park, and not so heavy. You can hardly buy them like that, these days.

~Anon in AV.
More and more folks are getting their Xmas lights up here. It won't be long.

anon av -- don't think there are any chestnuts west of the Rockies.
steve -- it's really a short, short time; besides, I get my Christmas gift late this afternoon when the dotter arrives.
boonie -- at one point, we had a little Toyota pick-up that the big boys sneered at, but it took us all over the mountains hereabouts.
GJ, good on you. Have a grand visit.
Thank you, Steve -- dotter arrived a few hours ago & we've been talking non-stop!
