My first entry is an automobile - a very very old Studebaker with a bit of a story behind it. It has been sitting, for some years, quietly rusting, just off the main street that runs through the small town where I live, Talent, Oregon. Several months ago, a freak wildfire, fueled by dangerous winds, flared up and burned its way both through portions of my town and also the neighboring one. The entire area of the street where this old Studebaker had been parked was transformed into apocalyptic rubble, and ashes, literally. But in the midst of it all, somehow this car survived. It was already a non-operational dinosaur - but now it has become a survivor.
