Partial to a Plum-Colored Plymouth

You Are a Confident Purple Car

You're definitely an unusual person. Some people may even call you "weird" or "freaky." Luckily for you, you don't care what others think. If anything, you enjoy it when people think you're strange! You are offbeat and eccentric. You see the world a little differently than everyone else does. You are seen as mysterious. People are very curious about you... whether they know you well already or not.

NOTE: I don't know if the vehicle shown in the small graphic at the top of the quiz results actually IS a Plymouth. I don't care, either. Might be a Studebaker for all I know.

Just sayin', just in case someone wanted to correct me.

When I first saw this older post at Crooked Brains, I thought of our late online friend Brad in Kentucky and how much he would have liked all these examples of one of his favorite hobbies.

Included in the post are other fascinating examples of origami plus links to origami sites.

Tornado Trivia

From today's Start Sampling poll:



I'm in the minority segment of the poll takers with my "Yes" answer. The number would be smaller if the question had been "Have you ever been IN a tornado?" and I would've been in that group, too. In fact, the question could have been plural, i.e. "Have you ever been in tornadoes?" and my answer would still have been "Yes". Each of my "in the tornado" experiences was terrifying, but also had humorous aspects that might make for an interesting story. (and I *might* write something about them sometime in the future)

The site also has daily trivia:



Again, my answer is with those in the minority. I'm fairly certain tornadoes don't normally travel at 90 or even 60 mph.

They move fast enough to make you swallow your gum, though.
