Leftovers

Orange-o-Plenty

In honor of the Thanksgiving theme of gratitude and stuff, the BOVB will be providing readers with an Orange-o-Plenty during the next couple of days. The purpose of this niceness is twofold: to show a seasonally appropriate spirit of givinghood, and to clear out a year-plus supply of OVPs (Orange Vehicle Pics) to make way for the new year. Lucky you. 

This top pic was provided by Rod "Rodneyla" Brumley, which I presume he snapped in Knoxville, center of the Orange universe, aka unOverse and OrangeOverse (yes, I made that up, it's trademarked and copyrighted).

Next up is a UT Mustang that Hoosier Dave posted on my FB page a zillion years ago from somewhere up in Indiana.

This last one for today is weird little VW Bug a Knoxville dude named Eric tagged on FB. Thanks, man.

Peace, everyone.

Nashville pick(me)up

Sorry for the late blog posting today. I've been in airports most of the morning and just now got home and rested up enough to tackle the BOVB.

It was a whirlwind, travel-heavy weekend for the Brumley family. Saturday morning I flew from Jax to Nashville, then drove with my brother and dad to Russellville, Ark., where we met up with my mom at my aunt's. Sunday the four of us drove two or so hours north to Branson, Mo., to attend a memorial service for my uncle, Tom Brumley, who died unexpectedly a couple weeks ago at age 73. (Click here to see his Web site). Then we made the long haul from Branson to Nashville Sunday night and I was back on a plane Monday morning.

Physically, it was an exhausting trip. But emotionally, it uplifting to see my aunt, cousins, their kids and hundreds of others who turned out for the memorial.

That said, it was also great being back in Tennessee, because I-40 between Nashville and Memphis was crawling with Orange vehicles of all makes and models. And that reminded me of this sweet Orange and white Jeep pickup snapped by Jeff Hite in Nashville recently. He snapped it driving by LP Field (home of Titans).

"Love the orange blog. I'll be sending many more. Keep it up..." he wrote.

That you can be sure of. Keep the pics coming.
