Ford's Piquette Plant Celebrates The 115th Birthday Of The Model T - Barry Kluczyk @Hemmings

It was Sept. 27, 1908 that Henry Ford changed the world, when the first Model T rolled out of the factory. Production started modestly at Ford’s Piquette Avenue Plant, with only 11 vehicles reportedly produced in the first month. Demand quickly outstripped the capacity of the comparatively small factory and by 1910, Ford had built and moved production to the mammoth Highland Park factory 3 miles…

April 24th. The 115th day of the year had many celebrations including National Pigs in a Blanket Day, but the most important one to you was the birthday of your boyfriend, Steve. The two of you hadn't been together long, just about a year. But you knew him pretty well at this point.

You knew what he liked and what he disliked, and you knew how he liked to celebrate important events, like birthdays.

So you invited all of his friends, including Robin, Dustin, and the rest of The Party. You baked him a regular chocolate cake at his request. You rented Back to the Future, as he didn't really get to see it properly the first time. All in all, he had one of the most fun birthdays he'd had in a long time.

But his real gift didn't start until after the guests left.

You stared in the bathroom mirror at yourself, all dolled up in a new lingerie set that you bought specifically for tonight. It was a deep purple, black lace lining the edges of both the bra and underwear. The bra was just a normal bra, but the underwear tied on both sides like bikini bottoms for easy removal.

You hadn't had the opportunity for intimacy for a few weeks, as you'd been incredibly busy with work trying to save up extra money. But tonight it was just the two of you in his empty house.

When you walked to his room, he was sitting in his bed propped up against the headboard, rereading the card you got him with a small smile on his face. You leaned against the doorframe, trying to be as sexy as possible.

"Thank you for tonight," he said, looking up as he began his next sentence. "It was really-"

When he finally did look at you, his eyes grew so large you swore they were going to pop out of his head like a cartoon. You'd never worn lingerie before, as it wasn't really your thing.

But seeing the look on his face made you realize that this will probably become a recurring thing.

"What are you doing?" he asked, sitting up a bit.

"Oh, nothing. I just thought, since it's your birthday, I'd... do a little something extra."

You stepped into the room and closed the door, locking it behind you just in case. You slowly strutted over to the bed, his hand instinctively raising to meet your hip.

"You like?" you asked in an innocent voice.

"Hate it. Take it off," he joked. You couldn't hold in your chuckle as you swung your leg over his lap and positioned yourself on top of him.

Now both of his hands were on your waist, wrapping around you firmly.

"It's your birthday, you have to open the gift."

He looked at you with his brows raised. You weren't usually the perpetrator of dirty talk, so this came as a bit of a surprise to him. But he didn't hesitate to reach up and unhook your bra, freeing you from the constricting material.

His lips were on your chest and your bodies were connected before the garment even hit the floor, a satisfied sigh escaping your mouth as your hands found his shoulders.

As he reached down to your left hip to untie one of the sides of your underwear, you stopped him.

"Now you know you don't get to take those off until you've taken something off yourself."

You could have sworn that his shirt was off in less than a second. You knew he was eager to finally fuck you again, and so were you. Every fiber of your being wanted one thing — him inside of you.

His hands untied both sides of your underwear at once, throwing it to the floor on top of the rest of the discarded clothes.

Part of you wanted to make this as slow and sexy as possible, but a bigger part of you just wanted to get to it as fast as you could.

He wrapped one arm all the way around you and flipped you onto your back, his hips settling between your thighs.

"Steve," you breathed. "Take your pants off."

With zero hesitation he did what you commanded. Within less than twenty seconds, both of you were fully naked, aside from a condom.

His right hand reached down and his fingers began circling your clit, a low hum filling the room. It was the first time you'd had any stimulation there in forever, so you knew it wasn't going to take you long to cum.

"I missed you," he said into your neck. "I feel like we haven't seen each other in forever."

"I know. I missed you, too."

Without another word, you felt him slip into you, and you both gasped. You pulled his lips to yours and kissed him deeply as he picked up a steady rhythm.

"You feel so good," he said into your mouth, being met with an 'mhm'.

You raised your legs a bit and pressed them into his sides, allowing him to go deeper than a moment ago. And, noticing this, he snaked his arms behind your knees and pushed your legs higher, almost to your shoulders.

This was new for you — being this bent. But it felt amazing. And you couldn't hold back the moans that immediately got significantly louder.

"Fuck, Steve."

"Is that okay?"

You nodded frantically. "So good."

With that verbal approval, he sped up again. His lips once again attached themselves to your neck, sucking on that oh-so-tender spot that he knew you loved.

As he fucked you, the sounds that came out of you only got louder and more guttural, as this position brought a whole host of new sensations. You were convinced that your g-spot was nonfunctional up until this point, but this angle made you realize how wrong you were.

Every single thrust brushed across it in the exact way that you needed to feel something from it, and you could have sworn you grew it overnight.

Your hands gripped his biceps tightly and your eyes widened as he made eye contact with you.

"Steve, I'm not gonna last much longer."

The couple of weeks of no intimacy really did make a difference, more so than either of you expected.

"Good, me either."

It was less than thirty seconds later that you were probably able to be heard from outside as you came, his fingers on your clit not helping you keep your volume down in the slightest.

Neither of you moved for a good ten seconds. Your legs were back down at their normal position. His face was buried where your neck and shoulder meet and you kissed the side of his head, rubbing your hands up and down his sides.

"Happy birthday," you whispered. He lifted his head and looked at you with a dorky tired smile and kissed you.

"Best birthday ever. I love you."

"I love you, too."

"So... I think you should take me with you next time you go lingerie shopping."

"Well, now, that would ruin the surprise of it, wouldn't it?"

2001 really was the year of Mies van der Rohe: on the occasion of his 115th birthday the exhibitions „Mies in Berlin“ at the MoMA and „Mies van der Rohe in America“ at the Whitney Museum offered an unprecedented overview of the architect’s two major career stages. The latter exhibition was accompanied by a hefty catalogue that contains a number of valuable essays about Mies’ life and career in America. One is Phyllis Lambert’s lengthy overview of the development of Mies’ architecture in America in which she breaks down typologies, motifs and details and provides interesting insights into his different corner solutions in particular. Two other essays by Cammie McAtee and Vivian Endicott Barnett address Mies’ first and tentative visit to the US and the architect’s own art collection which included works by Klee, Kandinsky and Schwitters. 

Probably the most interesting contribution is by Sarah Whiting who examines the urbanist aspects of Mies’ IIT plannings: in so doing she not only provides social and political context to Mies’ most comprehensive project but also extensively discusses the relationship between mass and space in his work in the US.

What is still puzzling about the book is the choice of illustrations: while the IIT appears in plenty of illustrations other projects barely appear at all, a letdown in comparison to the excellent research presented in the book.

Nevertheless, the book is a must-read about Mies van der Rohe that despite its title also exposes the continuities between his German and American work. Essential reading!

I'm a pattern seer, but I try really hard not to get too drawn into it because I can & will lose my mind.

'Monk' was put on UK Netflix a few weeks ago & I've been watching it.

On the 3rd of April, I went to watch the next episode & it was:

Which threw me, what an unfortunate coincidence that the next episode waiting for me was about an earthquake meer hours after a huge one hit Taiwan. But I tried not to get too freaked out by the coincidence & move on.

Yesterday I watched:

Which is about a man who is murdered hours before his 115th birthday. Then I was searching for odd/weird news earlier (due to Joe Lycett) & saw this news story:

And then just now I was playing all my 'worlde' type variants & played PopCultured & one of today's clues is:

A lot weird, a lot bigger coincidence, still tried to ignore it.

So I'm going to sit very still & try not to spiral until someone else is awake in my house. (I did get today's PopCultered in 1 though so that's nice)
