Spotted: Jetta on the Whitemud

8 08 2007

I don’t know who’s this is, and have serious doubts he’ll ever come across this, but I’ll post the pics up anyhow.  Drove along the Whitemud for a while with this awesome mkIV Jetta.  Really slick looking car, so I had to to the old “drive with your knees, while concentrating on taking photos” trick.  Call me a hypocrite, making this post 2 mins after the “Drive Safe” post, but hey, I’m wild like that.

IT FINALLY CAME!

8 08 2007

I ordered my big bazooka of a lens on Wednesday, July 25th.  I was told it should get here by Friday.  Friday, I was told Monday, and after Monday passed with no lens, it was just “we’ll see when it gets here”.  Every morning, I was like a kid wanting to open up his presents on Christmas, only to find no presents around.  It sucked.  Finally, Purolator has come through, and surprised me, they actually delivered it to my home today.  I love this lens, its huge, heavy, and amazing.  I haven’t really tested it out, but here are a few really quick “OMG I NEED TO TAKE PICS WHAT IS THE FIRST THING I SEE” pictures.  The first thing I saw was cats.  I’m on the edge of my seat too, so without further stalling..

Are you as excited about this as I am?  I thought so.

Drive safe.

Last week, two huge trucks managed to run into each other on Hwy 2, making it take about an hour to go approximately 4km. It’s strange that this happened too, because I’m sure, with the lifestyles it seems truckers live, they both had at least 12 hours (give or take 11 hours) of sleep the night before.. go figure.

Hope there was nothing valuable in there, roof is completely gone:

The lack of.. you know.. the body of the truck makes for good air conditioning:

Stay safe,
