in my own element

I took a trip to Wisconsin this last weekend to move my sister from River Falls to here in town. I am happy to say that Ryder is still the extremely high class outfit that I remembered it to be. The 10-foot cargo van that I drove up and back was brand new; I doubled the milage on it during the trip. This one actually had built-in blind-spot mirrors:

You can see front of the red car out the window and in the lower mirror; there's effectively no blind spot. (Yes, I was looking at the road when I took it. I just took the camera and held it up and took a blind photo; this one happened to get just want I wanted.)

My car audio playing system at work:

My travel electronics kit. Yes, when I go on trips, I take separate piece of luggage with me to hold all the electronics. It's rechargable batteries, and chargers, and a long ethernet cable, and other stuff. I decided last year that it was dumb to hunt down all the chargers and adapters and things that we only use when we're away, and it would make much more sense to just store them in a bag and then take that bag with us.
