Mustang

Who knew?
The Ford Mustang was named not after the wild horse, but after the P-51 bomber, the World War II fighter aircraft. This despite the presence of the famous galloping horse logo on the car's grille!

My pal Susan has developed a fascination with the P-51 after seeing -- and hearing -- it at the New Garden Air Show and passed this tidbit along to Tilda.
Susan also suggested a plug for http://www.fullerfillies.com/, a UK-based company that sells clothes for riders who aren't 12-year-old girls built like praying mantises. Says their website: "With ladies the world over increasing in size year on year, it is staggering to conceive, but Fuller Fillies is the world's only fully-coordinated Collection dedicated to lady riders between sizes 16 – 24 (14-22 in the USA)." (Of course, gentlemen can wear some of their plus-sized togs, too.)
