Be careful bragging about how good your 4-wheel drive is…

So, Nissan tried to film a commercial in Russia about their 4-wheel and its handling, and, well, ask a veteran what a “Charlie Foxtrot” is…

More “art”…

This is just a quick entry, I finally got off my butt and took photographs of the paintings I did in college, so that at least if something happens to them, I have some record of their existence. I’m kind of proud of them, it looks like I did a better job than I thought I did, which is to say I can still recognize the women, even after so many years! I’m going to seriously look into doing prints from my pictures, and seeing if I can sell them for actual money.

The last leg of the trip was uneventful, a mere 200 miles in clear weather. Just finished unpacking (I never claimed to be fast at the chores!) and putting stuff away. While doing so, I’ve been thinking about my life, before and after the trip. Living for a month with just the contents of my car has made me realize just how much extraneous stuff I have. A lot of things that have pleasant memories associated with them, and a lot of books that are out of print, but mostly it’s just a bunch of “stuff.” It’s time to get rid of a lot of it, starting this weekend. Fortunately, the trip seems to have given me a lot more energy, but unfortunately, not any more time, so this project will likely take several weekends. But, as I said many times on the road, when trying something new, “what the hey?”
