The Royalties Are Coming…

2009 November 5

(From Carnifty TV)

Apparently, walking is so for commoners.  When His Imperial Highness Prince Tomohito and (daughter) Princess Yōko of Mikasa arrived at their private opening for the 41st Tokyo Motor Show, they swooped in whisper-quietly and without ever touching the ground in a never-seen-before custom-made Honda EV, an electric vehicle resembling  the “Pope-mobile” .  Walking would’ve been greener, imo.  But, I guess that just ain’t cool enough for the royalties of Japan, especially with such a commanding view aboard this float, you just can’t help look down on all the commoners below.  Don’t look for it at your local Honda dealership anytime soon though, at least not this version anyway.–Lorenzo

Photos from Who Day 6

2009 October 18

Who turned six-year-old yesterday and members of SCGT as well as [SIC] traveled to Hauser Farm in DeRidder, Louisiana to help her and her brothers and sisters celebrate this annual charitable event.  Animal food, cash and other gifts received by Who for her birthday were donated in her name to the Humane Society of West Louisiana.  Angela & Paul Hauser (of [SIC]), great hosts and adopted parents of Who, welcomed all guests to their beautiful ranch house where a lavish outdoor buffet and exotic beverages were served under a Japanese persimmon tree.  Click on the picture of Who for just a glimpse of the birthday festivities that took place in honor of Who.–Lorenzo

Hello, my name is Who, and I am six today!

Cruise Control That Really Works

2009 October 15

*DISCLAIMER: USERS ASSUME ALL RISKS WITH THIS O-RING CRUISE CONTROL DEVICE*

Larry from Sulphur gave me this little yellow silicon O-ring (Caterpillar #8M4991) last Saturday to use as cruise control (WTH?!). First, I was a little apprehensive; but after 100-plus-miles with it, I can definitely say that it not only works, but works GREAT!!

Pine Tree Lodge Alive And Well

2009 September 26

This would be our first visit to Pine Tree Lodge a year after Hurricane Ike brought on the devastating storm surge that caused wide-spread destruction the area surrounding Hillebrandt Bayou and Taylor Bayou.  It was said that the interior of the restaurant was a total loss and had to be rebuilt from ground up, as I would later find out.
