More Land Rovers
I found what must be the largest collection of vintage Land Rovers in mid-Missouri. (The owner prefers to remain anonymous) His shop(s) is filled with Land Rovers waiting to be restored and while he identified the model and year of each truck, I was so mesmerized I didn’t take notes. In addition to Land Rovers he had a 1970-something Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. I hope he invites me back (when it’s warmer) so I can get a bit more info on these beauties. [middleton]

Why the Land Rover Defender is so expensive in the US
“Used examples of the North American Spec (NAS) Defender can cost between $70,000 and $150,000 while the same car in Europe can be had for as little as $10,000.” (CARSCOOPS)
When I started lusting for a Land Rover it was the Defender the turned my crank. I was completely unaware of the Series Rovers but SO glad I got nudged in that direction.

Experience Self vs. Memory Self (Daniel Kahneman)
- Being happy “in” you life, vs. being happy “about” your life
- We don’t choose between experiences, we choose between memories of experiences
- We don’t think of the future as experience, we think of the future as anticipated memories
- Why do we give so much weight to memories, relative to the weight we give experiences?
- We do not attend to the same things when we think about life and when we actually live.
Hattie loves the Rover
When I leave it parked in the driveway, she will sit by the truck to make it clear she wants to go for a ride. This is our ritual end-of-day drive.

Who wants to go for a ride? (WOOF!)
Bad Lip Reading: White House Press Briefing
Hadn’t watched one of these in a while because I found I was unable to tell the real stuff from the parody stuff. But they haven’t lost their touch.
Buying your first Land Rover
“Your first Land Rover is your worst Land Rover.” This is probably the best video I’ve watched since the project began. Great advice, beautifully delivered, while holding a raccoon in his lap.
