Good morning Things are slightly panicky here, with me off to Britain on Monday for our Grand Tour of Great Britain. This will be the biggest and most complicated tour we’ve ever done, covering more distance, staying at more places, and seeing more things, than ever before. Happily it is with a great group of […]
I’m as keen a convert to electric cars as anyone could ever be, when it comes to driving them locally around town, in situations where each day you’ll never exceed their built-in range limit. What could be easier than simply plugging the car into an at-home charger each evening when you get home, and unplugging/driving […]
Good morning Spring is in full fling, and I hope your summer, due to officially start in just a few weeks on Memorial Day, is shaping up to be a great one. But, please, cast your mind a wee bit further ahead, for the early and late fall, too. What are you doing then? How […]

While the men stoically plinked away, including one gentleman who refused to let his bad leg and cane interfere, I do want to call out the […]
Good morning First of all, a word about our touring schedule for the year. We are starting to get down to the wire for the Triple K tour to Kiev, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan this May, so if you’re thinking of coming, please let me know. Also, strangely, this year there’s not yet a lot of […]
Good morning It was another interesting week, some of which is reported for you below. In addition, I’m adding three stand-alone articles.
