This is the sign over the Temple Kwan Tai, believed to be one of the oldest Taoist temples in North America, built by the Chinese community in Mendocino. I would lay some history on y'all about the Chinese in California, but this is a photo community, not a history one.

The first Friday of the month during the dry season, vintage car owners gather in Oakland at a working burger stand and show off  their rides, eat burger stand fare, and dance to records from the '50s.  The cars are varied, beautiful, and all ages (someone had a Chevy Malibu similar to the one I'd owned with a Very Clean New engine).  Some of them are Art Cars in the sense of being the canvas of the owner.

If there is ever an auto challenge, I am Ready.  

This car is a low rider, of the type made famous by War ;-) with twelve or so batteries to run Serious hydraulics to lift and lower the vehicle.  (Yes, it is on the ground there.)  I chatted with the owner last month (I think).
