Best Cars from Television Shows

We all love those zany cars from TV shows. My favorites all seem to date from 1960's era television.

1. The Batmobile
2. The Monkeemobile
3. The Black Beauty from the "Green Hornet"
   
4. The Munster Koach from the "Munsters"
   
5. Drag-u-la from the "Munsters"
   
6. The Car from the "Beverly Hillbillies"
   
7. Lotus Super 7 from the "Prisoner"

A Golden Retriever in our Family

I am starting to believe that one of the best breed of dogs is the Golden Retriever. Our new dog, "Angel" is such a dog. She quickly learned how to to fit into our family. She has never chewed any furniture. She goes outside most of the time and will cry at the door if she needs to go out. She is obedient, and playful, and has a very loving disposition. Anyway, I had heard that these were good dogs, and now I know it to be true. She is now about 11 months old, and so, still a puppy, but has a grown-up attitude. Unlike what I have read about the breed, she is protective of her home and the family. She spends most of her time playing with the many tennis balls that roll around the house, and shredding any plush dog toys to get the "squeakers" out. Good Dog!

The Beatles

At the top of many lists are the Beatles. Best band, most influential, most hits, most albums sold, most interesting, most historic, just about any you look at it, they are the best there is in the world of music. Just released is the new remastered Beatles music collection. Included are the original 13 studio albums, in deluxe CD packing and mini-documentaries. Will I buy it? No, for I still have all of the original 13 studio LPs, and all on CDs, with just about everything available from them as a group or solo efforts. But for those that do not already have such a collection, this is a great opportunity to get them all in this special format. Perhaps at some point, I will have to own the remastered set also. This set, and the other Beatles CDs are available at our Beatles Store.
(They will ship in 2 to 4 weeks, but you should order now before they become even more difficult to get, as Christmas draws near)
