I'm a liberal, and I don't believe global warming is our fault. And don't get me started on illegal immigration. Maybe not so liberal as I used to be...

Of course, one of the organizers of the expedition pleads that "one of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability." And I'm seeing Global Warming being more and more often called "Global Climate Change." So warming can mean both warming and cooling! Hooray, they can't lose!

Oh, right. Sorry. Can't tell Land Rovers apart since they started making only "Luxury SUV's" ...

It's the apparently defectively-designed suspension that worries me about these trucks. See http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/18/loud-land-rovers-land-company-in-class-action-lawsuit/

Why, thank you! I'll make sure to appreciate the improvements. And I'll bring a shovel or something to continue the work.

Damn - great pics. So there's still a "road" up to the Big Four Mine. I've been wanting to visit that one...

Finally, photos of the LR3 looking like it's supposed to look - really, really dirty. Thanks!

Exactly what a BMW X5, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus RX330, or Infiniti FX fan would want. That's Land Rover's idea here - a very fast highway cruiser with some (never to be used) offroad talent that'll make you look like a playa.

So they're going to build the FJ Cruiser. Excellent - I've had my eye on that one since the concept appeared. And also hoping it would lose the "design-y" look before it went into production. If they won't give us Defenders, this might work instead.

God, where's the Defender when we all need it?

Damn, Jack. You know someone with a 997 already.

For most people in your position, their Golfs turn into minivans. A couple I know just had their first baby last weekend. I was best man at their wedding, so I feel obliged to make sure they don't buy a Caravan or something.

God, that's even worse.

They do seem to be looking more often to see if you actually have your chains with you. Well actually, to see if you have A Box That Looks Like It Has Chains In It... I second the recommendation to use the diamond-pattern type of chains. Better traction, more stable, and easier to install.

Hummer Cologne makes you smell like porn!

"A fresh and exhilarating burst of freshness comprised of green foliage, cardamom, thyme, and peppercorns that capture the essence of the outdoors." Buy it at Amazon! Now, what would a Land Rover cologne smell like? Or would there be one? Or if there were, would you use it?

There are a couple of trails leading up the south side of the range from Rt. 74 to Rt. 243 just before Idyllwild. One starts in Bee Canyon, the other will be marked as "Old Control Road." I've driven one of the two, but don't remember which - I was on a club trip and was just following. It's a...

Looks as if they've adapted (or ruined) an International CXT.

As they say, anything worth doing (including drinking) is worth doing well.

That's what I was thinking too, but then the Left-ish Slate Magazine published this, on The Gay Marriage Myth. It seems that voter turnout in those states with a gay-marriage ban on the ballot wasn't significantly higher than in states without. The point of this article is that people are more...
