Outside Magazine
(Online) had a recent article published titled, “10 Roads Every American Must
Drive” which highlighted some good stretches of roads to explore. 2 of the roads listed are in Alaska, so we
will have to think deeply about driving those desolate roads in Linus.
Reliability on a long and desolate road can be a serious issue and we are not
all that confident in our reliability. We have never taken a long road trip in
Linus, maybe only a 3 or 4 hours drive each way is the max we have taken him and
that was just a weekend trip for wine tasting up in Los Olivos, CA. We never had any real issues then, but out on
the open road you gotta expect breakdowns with an older vehicle. We will carry some common spares such as
fuses, belts, bulbs, wiper blades, etc, as well as jumper cables, tow straps,
hand winch & cable (aka come-a-long), battery charger, and whatever else I can
think of within reason.

World Cup Soccer
Well, Germany
won the final over Argentina yesterday to tears from many, many Argentinian
fans yesterday. These people must live for their futbol. I mean, there should be no crying in futbol. But there were many tears from women, men and
children in the stands as well as in many homes I am sure.
Germans would
never show that much emotion since they are quite the stoic bunch. Being mostly
German, I have been stoic as well as quite emotional at times. I probably get
my caring side from my Mother, Janie.
My Mother was
quite a caring individual, always feeding birds during the winter by throwing
out bread in our back yard when the grass was all covered with snow. The birds
have to eat, she would always say. I do
miss her kindness and words of wisdom so much.

2. Famous Quotes
Who
is credited for saying the following quote?
"In the
first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good
faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on
an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate
against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is
predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing
but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he
is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room
for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here,
and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty
and that is a loyalty to the American people."
