The R.B.D. Song of the Day | Project MERCATOR

The Rip Chords, "Hey, Little Cobra" via iTunes (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: Referencing the A.C./Ford/Shelby Cobra.

I tarried in conversation with a brother after this morning's Saint Joseph Covenant Keepers' meeting—hooray for Saturday morning Bible study & fellowship!—finally arriving downtown at 10:15 A.M. I joined my father, who had taken his '79 Corvette down to the "Corvette Corral" in the wee small hours of the morning, & we walked the length & breadth of the Back to the Bricks car show. We saw thousands of motor cars & walked amidst ten of thousands of persons. I ran into & shook hands with two of my brother Knights, Golf Delta, who is the grand poobah of the Corvette Reunion, & November Charlie, whose '50s Chevrolet truck is parked in the same spot on South Saginaw Street every year, & also with Father James Mangan, one of the new priests assigned to the new Catholic Community of Flint, comprised of four parishes—St. John Vianney, St. Mary, St. Matthew, & St. Michael—under one pastor, Father Tom Firestone, C.Ss.R. 'Twas hot, & though there were a few clouds in the sky there was precious little refuge to be found from the death rays of the Accursed Sun, overall 'twas fabulous weather for the car show. Downtown Flint was fairly bursting with the crowd. What a fantastic event!
