Ford and Mecum reach agreement over GT supercar consignment:

• Mecum will not accept for consignment sale any Ford GT owned by its original purchaser that is still subject to the two-year sales moratorium;
  
• Mecum will consult with Ford regarding any Ford GT consigned with Mecum by any downstream purchaser (i.e., not that GT’s original purchaser) for the first two years following the GT’s initial sale to the original purchaser, and will not permit the auction sale of that GT during that time without Ford’s consent;
  
• Settlement proceeds from Mecum will be donated to the Ford Motor Company Fund.

That bar is about 3/4 of a mile from where my wife lived in high school.

For those familiar with the area she lived in the house next door to Williams Gun Sight (the one down in the creek flood plain).

Blockbuster movie budgets: Where does all the money go?

Hollywood blockbusters are like long, amazing thrill rides that can leave even the most jaded film fans in awe. The budgets of these mega-movies can be breathtaking, too!

This summer's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom reportedly cost around $175 million to make. Solo: A Star Wars Story had a $250 million price tag, and Avengers: Infinity War cost a spectacular $320 million.How does that kind of money get spent? Grab some popcorn and some Milk Duds, and find yourself a seat, because we'd like to show you.
