Anything on wheels ...

• Draggin' Main is looking for gearheads with vintage cars and trucks, sports cars, motorcycles ... you name it, for the annual gathering of smoking rubber and nostalgia June 27 in downtown Clovis. Gentle men and women, crank up the stereo and start your engines. This year's event also features free dinner to all active or retired military and their families, courtesy of the Committee of Fifty — the sometimes mysterious group trying to change its public image. More info at 575-763-3435.

Fighting hunger ...

Favorite blues lyrics ...

• I like my men like I like my whiskey ... Hah, aged and mellow!
