Red Is a Beautiful Color

Not long ago my son and I had a brief conversation about cars. Perhaps the car talk was just a part of our complete conversation about the weather, the news, politics, and sports. I don't recall, but it could have been a serious conversation about car purchasing. Things were going well until it came to the point where he asked me how many cars I have owned. For the first time, I was invited or would challenged be a better word, to think about and count the cars and trucks that I have owned over the past 45 years. I found the total rather interesting and also a bit surprising. I may have even forgotten a car or two, but my best count came to 19. I must tell you that those 19 vehicles represented 7 major car makers and comprised a total of 8 different colors, and not one of them was red. I doubt that I would ever purchase a red car. I must say that my wife looks lovely in red, and I have often told her so. I like red apples; I grow red roses; and for obvious reasons, I simply refuse to purposely run red lights. Red is a most beautiful color, and I wear red during the Christmas holidays. However, except for tee shirts, it is not a color that I have learned to wear. Maybe someday I will be more into red, but I'll have to think about it. 05282017 PS Contest, Red, Mystic Rose
