If you thought the QT Caravan was special...

you gotta see the K-ai Small Camper the website is Japanese, I believe. I used google to translate, it didn't make a whole lot of sense.




It's got a pop-top!




There are two floor plans available




Mixed among the translation were the words, "Mazda and Suzuki." Perhaps the engine and chassis is a combination of the two?





Interior

As always, you can click to biggify

The specs and pricing wouldn't translate, I think, due to the format.

Memorial Day
and a
National Moment of Remembrance










Please join me, at 3pm local time, in a "National Moment of Remembrance'' . This memorial observance represents a simple and unifying way to honor those who have sacrificed everything and commemorate and honor the struggle to protect our freedoms.

Then, take just another moment to remember our men and women who fight, today, to protect our freedom; and the families who have made the sacrifice with them.

Moment Of Remembrance
In 1996, a humanitarian organization based in Washington, D.C., known as 'No Greater Love' conducted a survey on children and asked them why do they think there is a holiday on Memorial Day. It was agonizing to hear their remarks that were all associated with barbecues and extended weekend parties and celebration, while they hadn't the vaguest idea about the sacrifices of the soldiers in whose honor it is celebrated. One of the children was even quoted as saying that this was the day when swimming pools open!

Thus, the organization came up with the idea of 'National Moment of Remembrance' to remind and especially, let the future generations know about the real meaning of the holiday. The idea clicked with the President and Congress and since 1997, it became a standard American tradition. National Moment of Remembrance requires everybody to keep silent for a minute, exactly at 3.00 pm (local time) when 'Taps' is played and reflect on the glory of those who have shed blood for us. The federal government hopes to raise public awareness about the heroes and their valor by introducing this moment.

Free TV and movies, online



I'm not on the road yet, but dirtville is about as rustic as it gets. I won't pay for cable so a lot of my television watching is done online.

Below are websites I have collected, where you can watch TV episodes and/or movies without a subscription. Watching will still cost you data-time. I've been told that a movie uses approximately 1 gb.

Let us not forget our local libraries! You can borrow movies, at no charge! Generally you have a whole county, city or state system to borrow from!

Hulu

YouTube

ABC

CBS

NBC

Fancast/XFinity

FX

Watch-Series (lots of pop up and annoying add-ons) but I can watch Criminal Minds, here, so I put up with them.

Blogger Blues



I can post, but I can't comment. I can't comment on your blog and I can't comment on my own blog. Weird.







Is anybody else suffering the same frustration? Got a fix?

In the meantime, I'm reading. If I have an earth shattering, mind boggling comment to make, I'll email you!
