11/11/12

So I was up at the Ace Cafe for breakfast on Remembrance Sunday (it was cold. I was hungry. Long runs were not appealing), and there was a fleet of old military vehicles there, on display before the Ace's Remembrance run set off. I arrived as it left, so went in for food and heat.
After breakfast I wandered around the parking lot, which is always fascinating fun at the Ace, and saw 2 options for Oddball's town car (Kelly's Heroes, for those who don't know, is my all-time favourite war movie), as well as various trucks and jeeps and even an old ambulance.
I looked for a bike with a sidecar, as per Granddad's story, but alas, there wasn't one.
My other grandfather served on the medical corps, so this one had to be blogged:
Have a good week, all.
