this one was not in the corner of my eye

because he clearly would not fit. He needed nearly the whole damned eye.



We met today at about 15R UN 3688 3270.

He was not pleased to be in salt water. I got as close as I dared without obviously annoying him further. After a few photos I was on my way.

out of the corner of my eye

this guy was watching me from about 30 paces.


This was at about 15R VP 16 13.

Wish me luck

I may be on my way into Ike's wastes. I want to go, and right badly. We all do.

If bandwidth is available, I'll post.

Update: I'm here in East Texas. The Home Depot parking lot has about one tree in three torn out. Hotels are still cleaning up to open, many restaurants have reopened, and there are car insurance claims tents sprung up all over.

Put me down for one, maybe

One of my lingering unrequited loves is for a VW bus, 1969 or so. I actually owned the shell of one, with all the parts and no small amount of rust, just waiting for me to build an engine for it. It was mine for the hauling away. Never got around to it, and my father buried it to be rid of it after I moved away.

VW of America hints at the breadbox's return, albeit on a sedan chassis.



Sorry, it isn't the same unless the front wheel is directly beneath the driver's ass. But if it's priced like their other models and wears a TDI badge, I could get insanely excited about it.

Almost Kelmark GT hard-on excited. I had a Ghia body pan waiting for (the 7,500 circa 1979 dollars needed to buy) one of those too.
