Isn't this cool?
I once saw this for sale at the Circle Center Mall downtown but I didn't buy it. Normally you had to special order it, but they had several for sale. If I ever see it again I'll definately buy it.
It's an Airstream trailer (no, Airstreams are not made in Indiana, they are made next door in Ohio) and it is fully detailed. You can lift the roof off and see the interior. The awning cranks back too, and some of the windows open. If I remember correctly it was about 15 inches in length. It was quite expensive, but it is a collector's item. :)

Some people spell it "L" I think. Others spell it "El". Anyway, the L or El comes from the fact that it is elevated, although if I remember correctly some of it actually goes underground like a regular subway. I've been on the El several times and I think I remember going underground for a quick minute or two during the trip. :)

It suddenly got very dark outside! It looks like twilight out there. I think we must have a nasty storm coming our way. I will turn on the Weather Channel and see what they have to say about it. There's no storm sirens going off, so the storms must not be too bad. It's creepy how dark is suddenly became out there though. :P
