    That was absolutely fantastic, thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights. You may not be interested, but this certainly seems like great material for a book. I'm really impressed and there's a lot to unpack and think about there! Wonderful!!

    News & Blogs The latest trend in RV'ing: Getting way off the grid

    Some of those are really awesome - but not very practical for most of us "poor" folks! It might be funny trying to fly a sign or jug for gas with one of those sitting behind me. :p Good thing I'm happy enough in my old converted van (currently a 1989 GMC Vandura, previously a Chevy G20...

    Just got off a greyhound and they lost my pack.

    I've often wondered when taking the MegaBus j ust watching people pull out luggage from underneath, it certainly looks like people can take out whatever they want, since I've never seen a driver or anyone checking tags or making sure the bags belong to whomever is retrieving them. :( I hope you...

    Hello from Milwaukee, commune road trip soon.

    Hello, Troubadour! That sounds like a great adventure. :) I personally also hope to visit the Slab sometime soon, but probably closer to the time of the STP gathering. From my research, it looks like if a person is friendly yet cautious, one should be just fine (just like visiting anyplace...

    At least you didn't get shot and killed! Take care of yourself while you're getting things straightened out. IMHO moral of the story should be, don't go drinking at your new job. :/

Hopefully, they have also grown and changed as well...

    While surprisingly I've never been nearly shot nor participated in an MMA fight, I did manage to shove out on two separate occasions an approximately 13" round, 20" long, eight-pound baby through something which usually has an opening diameter of 1"! And even more hard-core, I raised them. ;)
