travel light little trailer, god speed!

I've been looking to purchase an old trailer to travel the country. Actually, I really have my eye on a T@B, which is sort of the luxury trailer de jour. I found this great blog about an art project in Florida while I was searching for airstream info. Check it out...here.



I'm leaning towards eventually converting an old van into a camper, that way I can put my own spin on the unit. And it will be much less expensive... I think.

MUSH MUSH!

Iditarod 2009 is here...which means another lot of crazy people are going to ride across AK attached to doggies. I can't even hold on to one Samoyed let alone twenty four. Check out the race and all the contestants. Some good videos too.

I'm cheering for the Daugereau lady from WA...woohoo!

This article in Time about the drug company, Novartis, is an inspiring look at what corporations can and should do more often. bravo.

epicuriousness

good article from epicurious about organic pros and cons. Still leaves me undecided, but the commentary at the end is also helpful.

Here is also a funny article about the possibility that Google is covering up Atlantis.
