No longer AWOL

The BOVB is back, y'all! Let us all share a moment of silent joy to soak up the gratitude that this momentous moment.  Then feel free to dance around your home in celebration.

OK so what happened was I got busy in the summer of '11, did a bunch of traveling and then forgot the password to the BOVB site. It didn't help that the Vols sucked really bad, neither. 

Resetting the password of the blog and related email accounts required skills on par with Bletchley Park and Joe Rochefort's boys at Pearl.

Enough of that. Just feast your thirsty eyes on this beautiful Orange Porsche spotted by Dave Brake up in Indiana sometime in '11. 

There's a huge backlog of pix to get through, but if you spot a cool OV, snap it and send it in to orangevehicles@gmail.com. In the meantime, feel free to just scroll through the last few years of OV pix on the site.

Signed,

No Longer AWOL

 

The pscyhology of Orange

Some say it's crazy to be obsessed about Orange. But my diagnosis is that it is psychologically unhealthy not to be obsessed with Orange.

Science backs me up on this. Just Google "psychology, Orange," or "Orange therapy" and you'll be presented with numerous Web sites and articles testifying to the psychologically-beneficial and healing aspects of Orange.

"Orange is ... considered an energetic color," one article says. "Orange calls to mind feelings of excitement, enthusiasm and warmth."

I submit that our culture desperately needs an infusion of excitement, enthusiasm and warmth — i.e. Orange — in these dark economic times. In fact I am confident that a steady viewing of UT Orange could do as much, if not more, than the so-called economic stimulus package to restore our nation's hope and prosperity!

So let's start right now with this amazing Orange Porsche, which I photographed at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville in 2008. Hats off to the German who thought, "why don't we make an Orange one?" It may be a shade or two off Sacred Orange, but when it comes on such a sweet automobile, it's close enough.

Got a friend who's down and out? Show 'em this pic. It's bound to cheer 'em up.
