The Tesla WHAT I LOVE : THE INSTANT ACCELERATION I’m not talking about taking off at a red light in a race acceleration. Although that’s cool today, it’ll be pretty mundane in a few years. My favorite thing is how smoothly the Y can find its spot on the highway. Merging on a highway that’s…
The Tiny House that Could
Hey, guess what? We won a tiny but perfect house in a raffle held by an organization called Way of the Bard. The house was actually built by a group of teens with the help of a master craftsman, and the raffle was held to raise money for a trip to Wales, Iceland, and some…
Tesla Y – Three Month Review
Three months ago, a flatbed truck pulled into our quiet Vermont neighborhood just as we were finishing dinner, and everything changed. While a gruff trucker from Queens pulled the car off his vehicle, my kids did some sort of dance, and my wife and I watched amazed. We weren’t expecting a car for weeks, and…

How bad am I at updating? Horrible really. In my defense, I’ve taken a job as a contractor with the Department of Defense. So the times I’ve been updating this is now taken up with military stuff. I’ve been writing just not posting. I’m taking a different tactic. I’m attempting to post whatever I’ve been…

My Favorite Shows and Movies Streaming during Covid this Summer and Fall
HBO Max wins the summer for me, with the best library of older films and executives greenlighting quality shows with big budgets. They also had the Third Day with the best first episode I’ve seen in a long time but went off the rails, and Perry Mason, which probably should be on this list. With…
Driving with Whales and Zeppelins
Driving with Whales and Zeppelins Boring. That was how eight-year-old Louis Butler describes visiting Grandpa Charlie’s cottage on the isle of Jersey. The man did not have Nintendo or Cable TV. His telly was an old piece of furniture with plants and books atop it. Visits always consisted of sitting around drinking tea in the…
