Make of it what you will, but have a safe and happy 4th of July.  Me? Taking the wife and dogs camping. So, what better way to check the msr stove than in the kitchen this morning. After a quick safety check I had no qualms about setting ‘er up on the kitchen floor. Meh. [...]

What’s this? Smart planning, you say?
Residents in Vauban, Germany have litterally given up their cars.
Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the Swiss border. Vauban’s streets are completely “car-free” — except the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs, and [...]

So the fellas organized a little road trip. Grandose thoughts of attendance entertained my mind. New terrain under the wheels would be nice. But not this time.

Sitting at my desk, acting busy with papers strewn about and interrupting boredom with emails and web surfing, I saw this and this. Gawd Damn, now that’s deep! Now don’t get me wrong but I’m growing a little tired of this 80 degree weather bullshit. I need snow! Not some type of Belgian disco tech sitting [...]

With every intention of taking the Mrs. out for a mtb ride yesterday, the weather wasn’t having it. So, what to do but surf the web and read some news. Never hurts to learn, right? What’s been killing me lately is the lack of anything viable, or nary a feel-good story. Killings here, bombings there, [...]
