Anybody curious what Mark is working on today? It's kinda like Where's Waldo. We'll call ours "Question-Mark."

This is a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera. Carrera, Spanish for "race," commemorates the company's success in the Carrera Panamericana road race.

Wondering what Mark is up to lately? Here it is in all it's glory. The 1982 Mercedes Benz 300D. We had a couple of these babies when I was a kid and diesel was about .79 a gallon. Those were the days.

Also, hats off to the followers that figured out immediately that it was not, in fact, Mark posting to Facebook! As the gatekeeper I'd love to read some comments on what you'd like to see. I will carefully consider all of your ideas, and post what I want anyway.

(That last bit was a joke of course. You'll get used to it. But seriously I would love some ideas)

Today, in the name of scientific research, we tested the theory of the combustibility of a Dorito. Guess what?

No list is complete without the ubiquitous stream of consciousness written by Jack Kerouac. I've read it. I found it difficult to mentally digest. Having said that, it should be read if only to give us mere mortals a look inside the mind of a schizophrenic poet, novelist, beatnik, and more importantly a fellow road-tripper.

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

The classic novel of freedom and the search for authenticity that defined a generation
