You never know what you might see here in Indianapolis in the month of May. Today I was just walking back from lunch and saw a motorcade of motorcycles stopping traffic right in front of the downtown Roberts Distributors store at 255 S. Meridian. My first thought was a funeral. But a funeral through downtown? Not too likely unless it was a dignitary of local celebrity, and I would have heard about that.

Luckily I always have my trusty Olympus digital 1030SW point and shoot on my hip. This time I got it out, and on in time to capture a shot of what was really stopping traffic in the Circle City.

Behind that came a bunch of new silver “Official Pace Cars” one of which was driven by one of my racing heroes Rick Mears, but I didn’t get that shot. Nothing was wrong with the camera, however there was a nut loose behind the view screen.
