Hi there...
long time, no see...
I've just been trying to get health issues, career issues,
and Life issues in order...
Some huge changes could be coming up soon...
The next few months could be interesting...
or not...
Anyway... I've been on a car kick here lately..
Not that I am going to buy one or anything,
but just coming across some neat photos of vehicles...
I never in a million years thought I would
ever be posting THIS song in a blog post...
... anyway...
A colleague and I have often talked about buying Air Stream trailers... hooking them to our vehicles... and start something akin to a Traveling Salvation Show... only it woudl be about economics...
If you don't know what an AirStream trailer is...
Pretty Fukken Cool...
No??
In our business plan, we would travel from university to university... offering classes... Hell... who knows, maybe it would even become a reality show...
How scary would that be??
But... recently... I came across this image...
(get your minds out of the gutter... I didn't mean THAT way...)
How Cool is this?!?!?!?!?!
I like the front of it even better!!!
It definitely has that 'Art Deco' look going for it...
This would really rock for those Road Show Econ Programs!!!
... and then I found THIS!!!!!!
I guess everyone may need a second car...
No?
Once I saw this image, I had a flashback to my Hippy Days...
... and a sound track started to emerge.
I could see myself driving around in this thing listening to...
THIS immediately came to mind!!!
... and I'm not a Grateful Dead fan...
... and then THIS one popped in my head...
Who would have ever guessed that
I was a closet 'Grateful Dead' fan?!?!?!
Anyway... it's good to have a diversion while a great deal of other crap is going on in ones Life...
All in All...
I'm going to be ok...
Tell me what is happening in your world?
(In the mean time, I need to visit some blogs...

Hi Shoes,
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed a pretty cool vehicle. You would certainly turn some heads..haha...a traveling show...I like it swing up my way and I'll buy you a drink. Two martini's coming up with those giant olives I like so much.
How are you are my dear one? Maybe, take that out to Monument Valley and find that Thunderbird..it's waiting just for you...
((hugs))
Hey, you're number 1.
DeleteIt's better to be Number 1... after all.. we ALL know what #2 is...
DeleteHAR!!!
~shoes~
Hi there, Truedessa! Both of those vehicles are the shiznitz!!!! I would take either!!
ReplyDeleteOn those martinis... make sure my olives are giant sized as well!!
I would love to see that Thunderbird out at Monument Valley again! I do have to admit that I missed it... you are the one that called it to my attention in that photograph...
I hope to make it out this summer...
I hope you doing well... :-)

let's escape into a tequila sunrise
Deleteget lost in the magic of the sky
to see that phoenix fly, I will cry
caught in the arms, of time I sigh
Those are some very magic skies out there...
DeleteHave you ever been?
~shoes~
No, I have not been there, but maybe in June. I need a vacation as I am very tired. The last year has been rough on me. I may just fly out there by myself..who knows..
DeleteMy philosophy is ... "Do whatever the hell you want to at this stage in life". The clock keeps ticking so if something comes along that makes me want to jump up and take the bull by the horns, I'm doing it. For me it was moving south, but who knows, something else may strike me on a whim. Be happy Jim. That's all that matters in this life. That and being good to others.
ReplyDeleteHi there, Ms Barbara... At this stage in Life, I am developing the same philosophy... my brother's wife told me a while back that I should go ahead... retire... and start doing the traveling I want to do while I am able to.
DeleteThat has turned out to maybe being quite prophetic...
I try to be good to others... I think that is what sets me apart from a lot of people...
We have become mean as a society... as a world...
It is sad...
Thank you for your kind words...
~shoes~
I have always loved the idea of jumping in a trailer and heading off with no place in mind and letting the road take me.. wherever. Be even cooler in one of these.. stop by and pick me up on your way by?
ReplyDeleteHope all is well !
Hi there, Flying Solo... I think it would be quite a blast... we all seem to be restricted/bound by some invisible tether that keeps us where we are... or keeps us "safe"... whatever that means.
DeleteOf course, we feel safe when we are in a known environment... so there is something to be said for that...
The past few years has shown me that there has been nothing safe or secure about my known environment...
Stop by and pick you up? Sure!!
~shoes~
Well, what do ya know... Shoesssssssssss is back! Being the narcissist that my ex thinks I am, I thought you'd had enough of my funky blues.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Hey, you're back. Good. All of us are still waiting for you to tell umm us what kinda fruit you would be. What do you mean, 'What'? HERE of course. Hello! And it had better not be a sour grape. A banana?
Grumpster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI have a humongus case of FUKKETTE... I hate to say it, but I just really don't care... I need to to get re-focused... I love my students... but I have lost that "lovin' feelin' "... ifn you know what I mean...
What fruit?
That requires some thought...
No?
How are you, my friend??
~shoes~-
You don't care? We need to talk, sir. How am I doing? Well, I m still exhausted 24/7, the world keeps a-tremblin' and I there's this annoying sound - SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - that just won't go away. Other than that, I'm good. My students still love me, my colleagues still don't, and the pay is still not impressive.
DeleteYou need to care again, Shoes.
Grumpster...
DeleteWe don't do what we do for the money... that's a given... I like my students... some of my colleagues... the rest of me is reaching that other area of Life... Fukkette...
You know?
I'm ready for the semester to be over...

I saw the Dead about 6 times live back in my college days! Saw them with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty at RFK, a few times in Hampton, and a few other places. My all time favorite Dead song is Cassidy.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aMBIeD0ThU
The song is dedicated to the daughter of a friend of Bob Weir but it alludes to Neal Cassidy who was a prominent figure in Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road. Sounds like you need to have another On the Road experience.
Hi there, Ryan... I have NEVER seen the Dead... I tried to one summer, but just could never get the tickets...
DeleteThat is a great song... I am not familiar with it... and very tight!!
"On The Road" experiences are my salvation!!!
How have you been?
~shoes~
Love the lyrics:
ReplyDeleteFaring thee well now.
Let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now.
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
Hi Shoes, I hope you are doing okay and that everything falls perfectly in place.
ReplyDeleteThe hubby is also obsessing about cars right now:)
Thinking of you,
Hi there, Sandra... things are going to fall as they may... I will see what happens and respond to it...
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words...
~shoes~
I hope the crap develops in to something special and amazing! (What??? It can happen!)
ReplyDeleteNot much of a car person myself but I still miss my ' 73 VW bug. That truck/car/Airstream is AWESOME!, though.
Hi there, nitebyrd...
DeleteI'n not really much of a car person either, but I love these souped up, fancy looking things!!!
I would drive either!!
How are you doing??
~shoes~
SHOES! I absolutely LOVE the airstream! And that one after is awesome. There's a bloke in London who had an airstream craned into his back garden and turned it into a cocktail bar! Cool or flipping' what?
ReplyDeleteI think that travelling from uni to uni in one of those is a fabulous idea! Go for it!
Hi there, Jules... You've been in my thoughts lately... just know that...
DeleteTurn one into a cocktail bar?
Hell YES!!!
~shoes~
Traveling from University to University.....I like it!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Sandra... I think it's a great idea as well!!!
DeleteI hope all is well with you...
~shoes~
Hi Shoes...
ReplyDeleteHopefully everything will fall into place for you....
Cool trailers! Love Fred and Barney!
Enjoy your week...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Love that song "Cars".....
DeleteHi there, Linda... things are going to fall into place ok...
DeleteThings tend to work out... resolve themselves... in the long run...
No??
Yes, I liked that song too!!!
How have you been?
~shoes~
Not much blogging in my world.
ReplyDeleteI'm driving at 97 Ass-tro Van. I'd love something completely ridiculous... Like a Challenger. Yeah... Mid-life crisis much?
...an "Ass-Tro Van?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds skeerier than just a mid-life crisis...
Just sayin'...
