    Mercer,you have a look I can’t really place. I believe it’s that “I’m an expensive date” look. I still say your best photo is the one in the leather jacket. Looks like you just got off your Harley and are searching for a drowning man to pour water on. Anyway, you look good in all of them. Someday I’ll send you a picture of me in my Superman sweatshirt..

    You have that impenetrable gaze. It makes one wonder “what was she thinking at that very moment?” because surely she’s always thinking of something. The above is just a prelude to the one thing I wanted to say (but I thought you would consider it dull): [I was thinking: why can’t the Other Half take good photos of my car; Fast doesn’t look his best.]

    You look HOT behind the wheel!

    Oh, and the second pic is far better than the first (none of us can tell what you’re peering at!).

    You look purposeful, classy, wholesome. If I saw you on the street I’d probably assume you’re the kind of woman that likes Bach above all else and writes biting blog entries in her spare time LOL!

    Keep it the good work Ilana!

    I used to borrow a Triumph from one of my buddies, back in the day. Loved it. But, this is the USA and Harleys rule.

    I don’t like the camera, Pam. If we were not in the US, you’d never have seen my face. Check the blogosphere. You’ll see that bimbos are setting up, to accompany their vacuous blogs, something they’re calling a “vlog.” They preen and primp in front of the camera, practically lost in love, while speaking nonsense. The only vlog I like, so far, is Malkin’s “Hot Air.” She’s comfortable and natural in front of the lens (and is actually there to say stuff, rather than to show off her form). I, on the other hand, hate it.

    And Huggs: regarding the Harley, I don’t know a thing about it, other than that it looks like it’s not designed for the human form. As I say, the old man—he’s seen a bike or two in his life (rides and restores Triumphs)—calls the Harley “farm equipment.”

    Hi, Ilana: Okay, you don’t like the camera… but I still say you’re a good-looking lady, sitting in a fun car. Maybe eventually Sean can take pics you’ll like better.

    This is the first time I’ve heard of “vlogs.” I’m not about to set up one for myself, as (1) I haven’t taken a really good picture since my high-school grad pic, (2) I’m considerably heavier since then (I’m also 53, for gawd’s sake), and (3) I don’t need to plaster my face on the internet.

    For anyone who wants to know what I look like, you can google my name (“Pamela Maltzman” or “Pamela B. Maltzman”), and you will find an article I wrote (with the help of a friend) which showed up at the Karl Hess Club website.

    I enjoy reading your website/blog and others; but I don’t have enough to say to put on a blog, I don’t need to open myself up to gratuitous flaming, I don’t have the time and energy to do much writing right now, and I just don’t want a blog of my own right now.

    “Fast” looks like he puts you in danger of a speeding citation while still parked in the driveway.

    In High School I bought a used ’65 Vee Dub before the brand was known for performance. Talk about “farm equipment”, the engine was no more advanced than the five horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine that powered the family lawnmower–and was only slightly more powerful. [Yes, VW has come a long way]

    And–despite your protestations, you look fabulous behind the wheel.
    [Given all this appreciation, I’ll try and post new pics more often. “Fast” is a good incentive. Perhaps a pic of him being washed. He’s due for a gentle wipe down]
    Enjoy your Pocket-Rocket. [It’s hard with stupidly low speed limits and other road socialism.]

    Wow – someone else seems to be for road privatization. Excellent…

    I had no idea that the GTI’s were so freakin’ cool looking. I’ve never understood America’s fascination with muscle cars. I was born and raised here in my early years, but I have always prefered tighter handling to brute force.

    I’m jealous–you have the most beautiful hair! What I would give to have your hair…

    If they ever do a re-make of “The Avengers”, Ilana absolutely has my vote to be cast as Emma Peel.

    How about a nice photo with an appropriate firearm?
