Rob did my easy chair in black leather with Porsche seal and it is wonderful. AO is taking my 90 S4 to Green Bay for a Murf111 upgrade. I live in Ann Arbor. When it is back lets talk cars. Other car is an EVO X MR. My son-in-law Chaad has a 928 as well. There is a 928 in the hood. Most car I see are 911s. Local dealer Howard Cooper Fixed my A/C last year. Other great things are Zingermans. Matthaei Botanical gardens. Farmers market on Sat AM worth a trip. I usually have a "CAT" hat on. Are you at EMU? Really great gym next to St Joes. Usually there is a Radar trap on Geddes and Huron Parkway.

I'm from Sault Ste. Marie - Ontario. Just across the bridge from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

My family is still all back there.

That's just down the street from me, I was in Depot Town the other day in the computer store. I think I may know where you are talking about. I'm sure I'll find you. As I said, I have only seen two 928's in my life, so if I saw one while driving, I would stop to look at it.
I wasn't sure if I should've said, "Psycho" or "Psychedelic" either way, maybe it'll catch on? Easier to say I guess. I really like your explanation. he he. I really wish that pattern was more popular, but I'm sure it was pretty shocking to potential buyers in the late 70's. It would seem that it would have been a pretty difficult sale to a well-to-do chap in wingtips and a smoking a pipe.

Thanks for the warm welcome, it's amazing how much I have learned already and it's only been a day!

I have friends off Orchard Lake over in Farmington Hills, maybe some day I'll bump into you?

Nope I'm not at EMU, I am off Holmes. I moved here from Jackson awhile back and every time I mentioned that town, the first question people would ask is I was from the prison. I have no idea why? I have no tattoos and I have all my teeth, but I guess that's all people know about that little town. When I moved here everyone said, "I hope you don't get shot in a drive-by" Again I guess it must just be all people know of this little town, as I haven't had any problems in the 9 mos since I moved, but it could be because I am a really easy to get along with type of person. I would rather have a friend than an enemy.

Do you ever make it over this way? Left the snow and cold for warmth and palm trees huh? I don't blame you!

You guys are all great, thanks so much for taking the time to make me feel welcome! I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can.

Jim,

My research turned up some references to the geometric pattern on the wings of some species of Mediterranean butterflies seen throughout that area and into Portugal. The wing pattern is similar to the fabric and the name of these beautiful these creatures is "Pasha". The term Pasha Butterflies has been attributed to Ermin Pasha, a naturalist, entomologist and butterfly collector in the late 1800s.
Although his "Pasha butterfly collection" is disputed and many species are thought to be collected by another Italian entomologist Gaetano Casati. Perhaps this may be true since Pasha did work around the Nile Valley while Casati may have focused on the western Mediterranean and into Portugal where the butterflies are.


So! Now one can simple say "psycho" Instead of .....geometric pattern on the wings of Mediterranean butterflies ,,,,,,,"

My FIL was a raciest, would not come my Daughters wedding as my SIL is a man of color. What a shame
FIL passed away 20 years ago. MY dad was ran the Schools in Jacktown.

AO

Welcome to the racist FIL club. My FIL wouldn't attend his own daughter's wedding. Short sighted.
