Aaand home.

That was maybe my best driving experience yet.

Ridiculous changes in elevation, not one straight line,
through beautiful terrain, on a clear blue sky day…
total video game roads.

Manual all day long, too.

Made a video.

And I was testing a Jetta! What I own! (here it is)

Short review – loved it.

(it’s tough to beat VW and Audi, I think. I love minimal though, remember (as I type this on my white desk, in my white living room, with nothing on the walls)).

NO SCREEN YESSSS

OH NO.

As I was cropping this photo, I see I forgot to remove the un-sightly key-fob, before taking the photos for the paper ughhhhh sound, hangs head.

Specifically, I was in Napa Vally.

The grapes really do look like the ones in those paintings,
in cheap Italian restaurants.

These trips sound glamorous, but it’s bit tough to be honest. NOT complaining, I love it, but it’s an intense, fast-paced, all-consuming 48hrs, with a 3hr time change, my stomach is weird, and it’s hard on your skin, and cel phone bill.

I just need to keep refining my system, is all. I keep coming back to: if I trained myself to sleep in shifts, could I do more that way…

Over the ‘ole Golden Gate.

Unpacked; laundry in; next week’s column done, talking about the badges on cars.

Now my jogging-pants-greasy-plane self is off for a beer, and to catch up on the internet.

Here’s to a good start to your last weekend of summer!
