15 September 2009
If you looked hard enough, for years now there have been options for communicating with the outside world at Burning Man via internet or satellite phone.

15 September 2009
Yesterday we stopped for lunch in Susanville, CA on our way towards Sacramento. When we started off again, our 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD began acting weird.

21 July 2009
Just off the mall in Washington DC is the National Portrait Gallery, housed with the American Art Museum, in the newly renovated former US patent office.
