Randomness does not imply lack of repetition.

That's freak'n funny!!

Fake spilled coffee technology has made huge strides in recent years.

I like it but that stuff isn't cheap. $20 plus shipping at Amazon. Does look good though.

I saw a car this morning with a German license plate that started with TL DR. I didn't catch the rest of the plate.

True story.

Twenty dollars??!!! I'm in the wrong business.
I got mine for free from a friend who just retired from SDG&E. He said it KILLED over there too BTW.

Today I drove a 2016 4-cyl Honda Accord and a V6 Honda Crosstour. Now I'm contemplating keeping the E32.

A nice view of Ban Island today after the first El Niño rain of the season.

Looks pretty much like White Sands looks in New Mexico...

Heh, thanks for posting that. Never heard of that site before. Will be a time-suck for sure now...

It was strictly by accident. I was there on purpose of course, but sunset wasn't on my radar. Until I saw a guy lugging enough photo equipment as to almost need a porter to carry it all, and then setting up for the sunset. I can take a hint.

I don't believe the events of Nov 13 in France are 'Tailpipe' worthy.

Why is "Happy <insert day of the week>" now an accepted term of the uber-perky? It isn't just corporate world speak either.

Today I was "Happy Thursday'd" in an email and I deleted it out of annoyance.

Spring of 2014 I was sent to El Paso for work and part of the trip included a visit to Las Cruces. I had a mustang rental and decided a little "me" time was in order so I went awol for a few hours and drove out to the white sands National Monument. Easily one of my top 5 favorite locations I've been lucky enough to visit. It was so eerily quiet and breath taking. Idk maybe I'm easily amused?

Completely agree. I had a chance to visit Socal and stay on Coronado Island while I attended some training in June for 10 days. June in Slicktop City is unbearable by normal standards, we're just getting warmed up. (Ha!) Socal in June is HEAVEN, and I was rolling in a 69 1600... How much better can it get?
BUT.
California wears on you. On the way home, as I got closer and closer to sea level and triple digit temeratures...
I couldn't help but take a deep breath, soak up the heat, and enjoy acres upon acres of desolate scrub.
I love the harshness and sterility of the desert.

My nephew just started his first USAF assignment at Holloman Air Force Base. After tech school in Wichita Falls/Sheppard AFB it should be like heaven, huh?

It would be to me. We were there one time just after 9-11, like less than a week, and wow where there ever a lot of fighters flying around. F15s at the time IIRC.

Checking in on a pool project, a lady races up to me and asks if I have a strong back. Not sure what she wants, but I tell her "HELL YEAH!". She then asks for me to come with her as her husband has: "Fallen, and cannot get up". There he is, 250+ lying between the chair and table. He OLD. Quickly I rely in my Jujitsu training that I never paid attention to, and got that fucker back up and into his chair.
He was very, very grateful and so I've got that going for me. On my deathbed I will receive full enlightenment.

I guess Germany has it's share of people who are unable to park worth a crap. I didn't get a pic, but the car had all kinds of kitschy animal trinkets hanging inside. A serious "cat lady" vibe about it.

Ban Island today. Now with 50% less sand.

Gravity is a hell of a drug. It makes me gasp in awe how our whole system is staying in sync when I see dust particles floating in the light, and realize our planet is doing the same at 67,000mph.
