I started re-reading "The Secrets of Insects" by @richardkadrey.bsky.social on Halloween; it seemed like the perfect time for it. I recommend it if you haven't read it.

As I've gotten older, I'd like to take some vehicle trips; I used to do a lot of solo moto rides when I was younger.

I saw a very nice ‘67 VW Fastback today while waiting at a light. It seems so small now compared to the behemoths we now drive. There were even period correct 1967 NH license plates on it.

I will be away for a couple of days and have to decide which camera to take. I'll either take the Leica Q or the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II. The Oly has a little more flexibility if I bring my zoom lens, but the Leica color is so darn good. The Q is lighter has well. Decisions, decisions.

Yesterday I drove the Mach-E Rally down from central NH to the MA/RI line to have dinner with my siblings. The maps said I’d use 50% of the battery each way and would need to charge on the return. Nope, got home with 28% of the battery, about 3.4kWh/mi. I was very impressed.

I saw a car I’d never seen in person — a Toyota Cresta driving on the interstate yesterday. I wonder if they have air suspension because the tail was pretty low. Either that or they had a lot of stuff on board.
