LP record from our collection.

What surprises me about this one is that we were still buying LPs in 1984!

Heartbeat City

When the Cars performed at Live Aid (1985), they played three songs from the album ("You Might Think", "Drive", plus the album's title track) alongside the fan favorite "Just What I Needed".

We watched the Rugby World Cup semi final from Twickenham this morning, Pumas v Wallabies.

A very tough match, but pleased that the Wallabies scored all the tries, 3 from Ashley-Cooper, 1 from Simmons. Total 29 points including 3 conversions and a penalty from Foley.

Sanchez scored all 15 points for the Pumas from 5 penalties.

Next Saturday should be a great match, first Rugby World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand.

Not to mention the runners up South Africa Springboks v Argentina Pumas.

The "African Queen" at her home in Key Largo, Florida Keys, used in the 1951 film of the same name, starring Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart,

'....let's jump back to 1912 to England where this 30-foot, steam-powered vessel was built. From England she was sent to Africa where she served as a riverboat near Stanley Falls hauling hunters and light cargo on the Ruiki River, a branch of the Congo.

In 1950, John Huston needed just such a boat for his film, found this one in Africa, and that was the beginning of her fame. Actually, it was the film's art director, John Hoesli, who found the boat--the Steam Launch (S/L) Livingstone--in Butiaba, Uganda, a town on the east shore of Lake Albert.

Renamed the African Queen, after the film's production she went back to work as a river boat.'
