Change of Heart

I change my mind. I want one of these now in 4x4 diesel.

A Nissan Pathfinder. It's less expensive than a Toyota Prado, but sufficient in both on-road and off-road performance albeit less off-road proficient than the Toyota Prado. For the naysayers about off-road time... Believe me, there are plenty of off-road opportunities in Australia to justify a 4x4.

I kind of also want one of these for urban navigation. A Subaru XV. Looks just like the new Subaru Impreza, but with the ground clearance of a Subaru Forester!

I Brake For Snakes

Saw something like this little baby on the road...

I broke. The snake passed. I think it neglected the snake crossing sign further down the road though. Jay-slithering?

The Wild Thornberrys

Dude, does anyone remember this show? I loved Nigel's British accent!

More Utes

Uh, I kinda personally want one of these now.

A Nissan Navara. Otherwise known as Nissan Frontier in the States. It's cheaper than a Toyota Hilux and would be more consistent with my self-imposed frugality. Additionally, it also comes in 4x4 turbo diesel and is also known for good reliability.

World Peace

I wonder when "World Peace" will go on sale...

Patience

Seeing progress in the development of one's patience is rewarding, but having it tested every single day - albeit defining the essence of patience - is still energy draining. To then be criticized of imperfection when perfection was never claimed is again a test of patience in the setting of hypocrisy... The journey ahead is long.
