  • Throwing In The Towel For The New Ship

    boats-in-marina-south-beach1In this cover story of USA Today, Chrysler has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It says it is “their last ditch attempt to get in order before partnering with Italian automaker Fiat.” It also say that in 1980 the company “survived a near-death experience with government loans in the 1980’s and rebounded a few years later.”

    There is a saying: “What comes up, must come down.”  You don’t hear so much: “What comes down, must come up.” That would be the rebound.  If the crash is too hard, it might end up dead and have no fate of survival.

    Anyway, I was taking some pictures on Monday as I headed out to pick up my son at school before I went to the beach. I had been taking pictures in sequence of part of a shopping center that had been knocked down in order to build a new structure. Then on the way home, I took pictures of the location where I had my car accident almost seven years ago. That exit on the highway also has been rebuilt. I see it every time I have carpool and take the kids to school. (more…)
