Daisy Airgun Postcard Recreation in Rogers, Arkansas
The postcard was sitting in the gift shop next to the Daisy Dollars and the leg lamp keychains. Black and white. Old corner building. Didn’t feel like anything special at the time.

Plants on a Bus: Why We Keep 100+ Plants in 200 Sq Ft
How We Ended Up With 100+ Plants on a Bus We live in a 200 sq ft bus… and somehow have over 100 plants on a bus that probably should not hold that many. This was not the plan. I brought two plants on board. We got a few more because we wanted the bus …

Metalmorphosis Charlotte NC: The Second Try and the Spinning Head
This guy’s head spins around. That’s the whole pitch for Metalmorphosis Charlotte NC… That’s why we drove 45 minutes from Shelby, North Carolina, again.

Penguin Drive-In Charlotte NC: The Half-Jukebox Situation and the Missing DDD Magic
