Cavalier Club at Large -- collage by douglas brent smith, 1995

From Journal #30, Operation Fresh Start, 1995.


NOTES:

I've owned (or co-owned) four Chevy Cavaliers and loved every single one. I've loved them so much that I even contemplated forming a Cavalier Club -- or maybe finding one that already existed. Such charming little cars. Basic, the last one I owned had wind-up windows. Fun to drive, a bit sporty without being too fast (can a car be too fast?). 

My favorite was a blue 1987 station wagon version of a Cavalier. It had an old, permanent smell that was not at all unpleasant. I loved that car and commuting to work in Trevose in that car and it was named Bluebird. Sometimes I would sit in Bluebird and eat my lunch in the parking lot of UFLIC on Street Road. 

I was recently in that parking lot again for a gig with CareerTrack and another for the college but I barely recognized the building or the lot because they had changed so much. Still, the vibes were good.

I always love my cars. I'll never have another Cavalier -- GM foolishly stopped manufacturing them (they keep discontinuing their best and most economical cars...) Pleasant memories. 

That's a cavalier in the lower right hand corner of the collage.

or, go with the alternate title if you like, something about a dream and little Mexico. We're here on this plane creating our little hearts out, in this case sometime in or near 1995. 

"Draw a picture."

"Why?"

"I'd love to see it."

"Is it finished?"  

"Is anything ever finished?"  

"Yes. Lou Grant. The TV show 'Lou Grant' is definitely finished."   

"You can never be sure. There could be a remake."   

"Are you going to remake this collage."   

"Doubtful."   

"Are you ever going to colorize it?"  

"Also doubtful and yet also possible."

"Oh."
