fighting the lack of good ideas
We’re driving down I-86. Where? Near the town of Cuba New York. Time? About 1945. Date? 25 July. Due to some unavoidable delays earlier, we got a later start to our trip to Oshkosh for the EAA AirVenture week. As the sun is getting lower in the sky, we realize that we haven’t eaten in…
I arrived in Singapore during the Great Singapore Sale, or GSS. It’s advertised everywhere.
