A week or so ago Mom pointed out to me that the local newspaper, the Vail Daily, was looking for contributors to their blog. So I wrote the guy telling him about my interest in cars and whatnot and he replied saying he was interested and to send him a blog. So I did; he liked it and he put it up on their website.

Hilarious
The blog topic recommendations have been noted and I might write about them soon, but for today I just want to put up some videos of a hilarious episode of my favorite automotive TV show, Top Gear on BBC (also the source of the last Bus-Jumping video). In this hour-long episode the guys head across the pond to the good ol' US-of-A for some hoot-hollerin' fun. They start by buying each of themselves a car for under $1000 in Miami which they then drive to New Orleans with plenty of funny moments in between.
It is worth watching all six ten-minute segments, but if you want to just skip the funniest part, go to Part 4 and fast forward to approximately 7:30 in. In this segment the boys have been challenged to go camping and only eat whatever they can find dead along the side of the road. After finding and passing-up a few candidates they finally find a squirrel that might work, but Jeremy decides to keep looking and this is where he returns triumphant with his hilarious findings. Really the whole episode is worth watching though, so if you like this part you should watch the rest too.
Top Gear in America, Part 1
Top Gear in America, Part 2
Top Gear in America, Part 3
Top Gear in America, Part 4 (this is the funniest one, FF to about 7:30)
Top Gear in America, Part 5
Top Gear in America, Part 6

I have been feeling kind of "blah" since coming back to Edwards after being in Europe. I feel like my whole life is sort of in limbo because I don't want to live here much past, say, September, but I don't have anything lined up either... In the mean time I am just driving the bus hoping to save up enough money so I can maybe afford to do whatever it is I end up doing when that magical arbitrary September deadline rolls around. Anyway, as a result of this "blah-ness", I have been experiencing writer's block with this blog lately. I have been trying to write blogs but I just haven't been able to write anything that I felt like posting. So if any of you have ideas or suggestions for blog-worthy topics, let me know. If I like your topic idea then maybe I'll try to write a whole blog about it. I'll take any and all suggestions into consideration. I would list some of the topic ideas I've had lately just to get you guys started, but I wouldn't want to stifle your creativity. Thanks in advance for your help.
