How Cool Is This

Aston Martin and Lord Foster will be re-designing London's symbol. 

I wonder why more American cities don't use a double decker bus?  Especially when the bus has "reconstituted leather upholstery . . . and wooden floors."  Civilized transportation.  The only thing missing is a wet bar.  Of course I might not never get off the bus in that case.
But at least there would be a designated driver.

Safaris Have Flushable Toliets?

They do on the Abercrombie and Kent Sub-Sahara tours.

I don't think a person has to totally rough it but flushable privies in the bush seems a bit much.

Apparently there are all levels of tours and services available.

Safaris are now on the list of dreams-when I get around to actually writing it down. I will probably go on one some where in the middle between luxury and roughing it.

I must remember to pack some teepee as I am sure which ever package I go on will not have flushable loos.

7 Miles of Beaches in Drug War Zone

Lately I've been jonesing to travel, to get out of the wintery NW. Usually it is the rainy NW but the last week or so it has been more like the Mid-West than the northwest. Anyway I have been dreaming of going here: and so when I read this I started dreaming of sandy beaches, brown skinned girls, tropical elixers, and a couple of weeks free to properly enjoy them.

Perhaps the gods do not like when us mortals indulge in rapacious thoughts. Shortly after reading the above article i came across this one.

How can I enjoy booze, beaches, and babes, if I am in the middle of a drug war?

Roughing It While Traveling Is Not Mandatory

I stumbled upon this story about an all inclusive resort in Mexico. But I had forgotten all about it, until I started dreaming about leaving all of this behind
Sure it looks beautiful, but dam it is cold here in the Northwest; when it is usually just mild and rainy.
And how can you not help imagining yourself here:
This is an all inclusive resort. I had no idea such a place on terra firma existed. Can this be Heaven? Can life get better than this? But most importantly are there bars on the golf courses?

Dreaming of Any Place Else

Usually the Portland area looks like this, this time of year. But lately it has looked like this:
and this:

Which in turn has lead me to dream of this:

and this:
or this:
I wish my Spanish was better so I could work in Mexico. Oh well maybe some day.

What place are you dreaming of?

Time for a Brew Down

Heaven or Heaven?
WOW! I know what I want Santa to bring me. And I have been a very good boy this year. Though if I get this slice of beervana, I can not guarantee my conduct for the coming year. Brew on.

Beware of Brits Bearing Nokias

Hat tip to Red Ferret Journal for finding this nasty piece of hardware. This escalates CYA the factor in any relationship.

I wonder is any of the info uncovered allowed in divorce proceedings? If so Kidz you better get yours before your significant other gets theirs.

This is the key to the perfect Holiday Season-or any season-for nosy Mother F'ers every where.
