I got in the mail today an S2Ki t-shirt and sticker, just as a thank you for being a (longtime?) member. So thanks to whoever sent them.

We were walking to dinner in downtown Naples last evening and passed by an exclusive Inn on 5th Avenue. There are always exotic cars parked in front and last night was no exception. A gorgeous Red Ferrari was parked there but in front of that was an awesome red S2000. Believe it or not the S2000 was getting as much attention as the Ferrari. People are used to seeing Ferrari's there and one onlooker wanted to know what the other red car was. 
The S2000 lives on.

Not sure TX Jim will see this, but it's interesting. I've been watching the old TV game shows. Today there was a man on I've Got a Secret who was the last resident of a town in CO called Ironton. I looked up the town and here's the blurb from Wikipedia which mentions this man:
"Ironton was a town in Ouray County, Colorado. It lay south of the present town of Ouray.
Ironton (aka Copper Glen) was built on flatter ground than surrounding towns. Settled in 1883, within three weeks three hundred buildings were being built. It was a staging area for supplies coming from Ouray. Ironton was a major transportation junction between Red Mountain Town and Ouray in addition to having some of its own mines. Ironton had a peak population of over 1000 and had two trains arriving daily from Silverton. There were many chain stores from the nearby cities of Ouray and Silverton. The town lived into the first part of the 20th century but slowly faded as mining operations declined. The final resident of the town, Milton Larson, died in the mid-1960s.The town site is still occasionally visited by tourists."

I believe we went through Ironton (or at least where it was) on a drive during last years S2KDays.

If you went to Ouray or Silverton, it looks like the only road is Highway 550. The map shows Ironton on that road between the two.
