36 WHEELS AND COUNTING
Well, where is the time going? It's hot! It's already July! Back on the 28th of June, the outside temperature was 106 degrees. Yes! That's what the overhead console displayed. Normally, the van's air conditioner blows ice-cold air. Sweating and drinking plenty of water, obviously, the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van wasn't blowing and providing the comfortable air that we are accustomed to. It's not necessary to have air conditioning to travel from one point to another. That's true! Air conditioning is a luxury. In this Texas heat, it becomes a necessity.

Lemon Drop
So, there is the story of the Tweety Bird-yellow Cannondale CAAD4 that came into, out of and back into my life in serendipitous ways. I raced on that bike as a CAT IV and then III on the Green Mountain Bicycle Cycling team from 1997 - 2002. I named that bike Lemon Drop. Yellow, yes, but I thought I could reverse jinx myself and my racing career if I had “drop” in its name, a measure of karmic control so I wouldn’t “get dropped” from the peloton in any race, and the bike would perform perfectly, never showing signs that it was a “lemon.” That didn’t work though. Karmic control is an oxymoron afterall.

Why BMW Still Builds Inline-Six Engines When Others Don’t. AI-Generated.
For decades, most car manufacturers have moved toward smaller four-cylinder engines or compact V6 designs. They’re easier to package in modern cars, cheaper to build, and often simpler to fit into tight engine bays. Yet BMW continues to invest heavily in inline-six engines. From classic engines like the M54 to modern units such as the B58 and S58, the straight-six remains central to the brand’s identity. The reason isn’t nostalgia, it’s engineering.

Self-Driving Cars
If you watched the 2004 Will Smith film ‘I Robot’, you’ll know that a minor plot point is that cars in this future are, by default, self-driving. They can still be driven manually, but this is considered a risky choice which only Smith’s character chooses to do, due to being a fan of such ‘retro’ choices. When his car is wrecked during an attack late in the film, his boss assumes that he crashed due to driving manually (the one time in the film he actually wasn’t). At the time of the film’s release, self-driving cars must have seemed hugely futuristic to help to sell the future setting.

A Historic Waterwheel Returns to Family Roots Along the Riverbank
The story of a Historic Waterwheel Returns to Family Roots is more than a tale of wood and water. It is a story of memory, family honor, and deep love for local history. For many years, the old waterwheel stood silent near the bend of a quiet river. Time and storms had worn it down. The wood had faded. The iron had rusted. Yet the spirit of the wheel never faded in the hearts of the family who once built and cared for it.
