Take a Willys Jeep and mount a 106mm “recoilless rifle” on it and you have what I would call the mouse that roared. I found this example at the Wings & Wheels show at Wings Field on 7 September 2013. Take a look:

That’s a bold statement if ever there was one. Clever adaptations of existing equipment are the tools of victory. When it doubt, try something radical.
Back in August, I submitted a video to the Flights, Camera, Action contest sponsored by American Airlines. The objective was to talk about a trip that changed your business. Well, it was way back in 1994 that I took my first American Airlines flight to Aruba and that journey changed my business career in the most dramatic way. As it turns out, my video is a finalist in this competition and I humbly ask for your vote to make it a winner. Follow this link, watch my video (for Hawser Press) and VOTE. By voting, you’ll also be eligible for 25,000 frequent flier miles, which is a nice perk.

I hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your support and safe travels!
Twenty-five years ago (give or take a few), I enjoyed the big red wines of both France and California. In particular, I liked the reasonably priced reds from Bordeaux that could be had back then for between $14-$20 a bottle. Yeah, that was a little expensive but not a budget buster unless you were really enthusiastic. For various reasons (mostly bourbon induced) I strayed from these classic wines. Well, today I went looking for a few and discovered my old favorite Papé Clément. Wow! The price for a young bottle is nearly $100 with other years well above $200. That’s incredible. Of course, many improvements have been made at this winery. Check out their video:
That’s a serious outfit doing excellent work. Just pull the cork on a bottle and take a sip. You’ll be convinced without a doubt. Please enjoy responsibly.

Will vi?
Early this morning, I exited the gym (after a good workout) and noticed this unusual auto parked in the lot.
Will vi as seen in Aruba.
Odd looking ride with the name, “Will vi.” Here’s a look at the name badge for confirmation:

On closer inspection, I see the correct name is WiLL Vi. It’s a right hand drive vehicle produced by Toyota as part of some marketing endeavors they tried back in the early 2000’s. Here’s one more look.
The WiLL Vi profile.
Dig that rear window style, eh? Anyway, keep your eyes open, you’ll be surprised the things you see out there. I just wonder how this car ended up in Aruba?
