More observations from the field…

Switzerland is full of great skiing and skiers…. And a few bad ones. Skiing is the cause of the only broken bone I have ever had -- I say this to make sure I am clear in stating that I am not making fun of the Swiss, but I have never seen so many people all gimped up -- crutches and limps everywhere. Apparently, the wages of skiing European snow (called ice elsewhere) and versus skiing Colorado powder are broken legs and destroyed knees. With my lack of skill on the slopes, it is prolly for the best that I did not attempt it on this trip.

Today I set a personal speed record -- never before have I been so fast in a vehicle completely under my control. How fast? Me and the boys (BBM and BBM2) got up to 220km/h on the Autobahn today on our way to Frankfurt. For those of you metrically challenged, that’s 137mph. Yeah, the old C-Class had a set of grapes under the hood as I still had more to give it, but I was already over the max speed I was to get this rental :) Sadly for me, there was an BMW M3 that left me in the dust when I was at top speed.

I have had another Navin Johnson moment…. One of my pictures from London a few weeks back was picked up by NowPublic.com for an article they are writing on the paint job the Tower Bridge to get started soon. Check it out.

I also have a few other random pics from my travels or the last few days posted to the flickr account. Enjoy!

Stay gold, pony boy.

Finally! Someone I know can relate to my experience of getting left like I was standing still while going 150mph down the Italian autostrade.

Need I point out the fact that you were driving 200+kph and taking cell phone pictures with one hand? You trying to kill the BBM's?
