Car Line

I have seen some pretty interesting things thus far in the car rider line.  I watched a guy change his tire, heard people singing, and learned all about a lady's family.  Her mother is a proud red hatter.  They go on all kinds of trips and she is having a great time.  Her husband in the "laziest man alive."  He doesn't do a thing she tells him to, just yells at the TV.  I really don't think she realized the entire car rider line could hear her.

I did learn this today.  There was  Linus in Greek Mythology.  Here is what I found on pantheon.org:

"A beautiful Greek youth, who died before his time. According to an ancient saga, the son of Apollo and the Muse Urania. He was killed by his father during a contest.
In the sagas of Argos he was the son of Apollo and Psamathe, the daughter of the king of Argos. Because Psamathe feared her father's wrath, she gave her son to shepherds to raise him. When he reached maturity, he was torn apart by dogs. Psamathe was killed by her father, and an angered Apollo send a plague to Argos, which killed mainly the children.
In the sagas of Thebes, Linus was the son of Apollo and the Muse Terpsichore. As a skilled singer and musician he taught Orpheus and Heracles, until he reprimanded Heracles for his mistakes, and was killed by him"
