Like them both. Can’t decide.

For years I resisted the temptation to dangle shit from my rear view mirror or attach stuff to my dash. But the aluminum body of The Truck is just too perfect for these kinds of modifications. I’m always hunting around for a pen/pencil so last night I velcro’d a couple within easy reach. Ahh. And there’s all sort of little nooks and crannies for parking stuff like the garage door remote and my wallet. The visor is bristling with stuff (insurance card, etc) under rubber bands. #farkle
Apple TV Screensavers
I’ve got some issues with Apple TV but it works so well with my iPhone and MacBook so I put up with them. And the gizmo is worth the money just for the screensavers. They’re gorgeous. Last night I fired up the Apple Music app while I was ironing shirts. In a few seconds the first screensaver came up on the big screen. If you’ve never seen these it’s hard to understand what I’m gushing about.

Spotted this free spirit outside the local Best Buy. He achieved this interesting effect using sandpaper and a mix of readily available household chemicals. Note the Jackson Pollock-esque panel above the rear plate. And the “DTP!” on the trunk (no idea). Don’t know if I’m seeing more interesting vehicles these days or just noticing them more.
Ride in front. Wait in back.
Bad Lip Reading: White House Press Briefing
Hadn’t watched one of these in a while because I found I was unable to tell the real stuff from the parody stuff. But they haven’t lost their touch.
Land Rover vs. MINI
Keeping the MINI around for a bit until I’m confident the The Truck can be my daily drive. This photo shows just how small the Land Rover is. I’ll bet there’s more space inside the MINI. Longer wheelbase. But the center of gravity is very noticeable on turns. The contrast in driving experience is dramatic.

I’ve always avoided putting shit on my cars although I’m not sure why. Drove ’em till they dropped and never worried about trade-in. Just didn’t stick stuff on them. I think I’ll have a bit more fun with the truck.
