here in my car ...

before i go into my other stories, i just have to say.. i want a zenn car.

here's the piece rick mercer did on it.

went to seattle the other day. my car is still not working so got to be a passenger. i like being a passenger sometimes. i tried to act like greta garbo with my scarf at the gas station but i think the effect was ruined by the fact it was a black and white striped wooly scarf. plus i had forgotten my sunglasses.

since i was the passenger, i decided to walk to the peace arch while we were in the lineup for the border. every so often, there is talk about changing it and the outcry is always.. but the children donated their pennies for it!





this picture was actually hard to take because this alpha male was screaming at the car next to him. something about merging and one line. i was trying to not get him in the shot because i thought he might freak out on me next.





no shoes came home with me this time. season 5 of 24 did tho. along with these.

coming back, the wait was four hours to get back in canada. so we went for dinner, drove 1/2 hour to another border and we were home before we would have even gotten to the border at the other crossing. why do people wait in lineups that long?

i mentioned earlier that bahamian was my current fave word. i am totally obsessed with this bahamian singer/guitarist named joseph spence. he's like a drunken, demented blues/folk/calypsoian singer. and i mean that in a good way.

hear him laugh.

hear him sing.



have a good week everyone.

I have an image of the Poptart leaping out of the toaster and running away. It'd be a pretty obvious ad-campaign wouldn't it?

I saw that Mercer bit on the Zenn car too, and I soooo want one! I wonder how they would do on extended road trips though?

Gingerbread poptarts...most interesting. Could you imagine if they were come equipped with sound effects?

"Help me"
"I'm burning"
"Let me out of here"

Hmmmm...just in time for Christmas...what fun. :)

i eagerly await the gingerbread reporting. i can't sleep myself now, so i am going to check out some more rick mercer clips :)

Ohhhh, my eyes went directly to the gingerbread pop tarts!!! So how are they??

Dale said...

The report was hilarious, we should all have those cars. The noise of the busy world is so damned deafening at times.

dale - i agree.

I am the kind of hombre who passions to taste unused things. Currently I am fabricating my hold solar panels. I'm doing it all alone without the help of my staff. I am using the net as the only way to acheive that. I came across a really awesome site which explains how to create photovoltaic panels and so on. The site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.

I am not exactly sure about how correct the information given there is. If some guys over here who had experience with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it would be grand and I'd highly treasure it, cauze I truly would love to try [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. You people rock.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
