A couple of good things today, at Katie's. First - a beautiful sunrise at Katie's. Also, we had three Lotus there, including a lovely yellow Exige, which the owner (Joseph F) just bought two weeks ago, from Florida. Mickey's Evora matched the Exige's color.

A couple of other things that went on today... A guy we know - Phil, who won a 'Lotus-Related' award at an early GYLO with his Corvette ZR-1, collapsed inside Katie's. The Great Falls Emergency Squad (luckily, right across the street) came right over. Seems like a heart incident. He was conscious and coherent when he left - a good sign - and they took him to a local hospital. Two good things accompanied this frightening event -
1.) Fellow Corvette guys talked to Phil before he left, and volunteered to get his car home and safe. I know that took one of his worries away. 2.) I was VERY happy to see that no one was parked along the sides of the entrance road to Katie's from Georgetown Pike. People had been parking their cars on both sides of this road in recent weeks, and it makes it difficult to get traffic in & out. Thankfully, the ambulance and fire truck had a clear shot in to pick up Phil, and get him to the hospital.
We hope all goes well with Phil... I will see if I can get a contact for him, and send him our best wishes!

...and, here's a picture for Mark Franke. I talked to the owner of this Jeep. He's British, driving an American Jeep, wearing an American uniform!
I pair it with a picture from not even a month ago, when we parked next to these Americans - they are Revolutionary War re-enactors dressed in their British uniforms, at the British Embassy open house.

Katie's update: Phil, who was taken away from Katie's in an ambulance on Saturday, is home and OK. He did yard work all day Friday, without drinking enough water. His problem was being dehydrated, and he's taking care of that. He said he'd be back at Katie's soon.
