prime seafood

if i didnt post these things in the middle of the night, i might have noticed that this is a stingray, not a cownose ray as shown above. thanks to captain jim at prime seafood for the correction! jim supplies sustainable seafood to the best chefs around, although no rays of any sort yet. in fact 70 of the top 100 restaurants in washington dc get their deep sea delectables from prime seafood: i do. you should, too.

1963 chevrolet corvette boat

i knew the corvette was named for the stingray, but i didnt know it was also named after "the corvette: a small, manoeuverable, lightly armed warship, originally smaller than a frigate and larger than a coastal patrol craft". swedish designer Bo Zolland came up with this new winged boat based on a classic corvette from the 60's. it can be ordered with a 496 HP or 502 HP Mercruisers, an LS-9 marine or a Volvo Penta Diesel with up to 550 HP. could you pull it with a matching '63 vette?
