    Introducing the Bezos-backed EV pickup for the masses

    I don't disagree with the negative comments on the EV pickups in general, but the Bezos version seems to be going for the portion of the market that has been forgotten. The person that wants the small, no frills, inexpensive transportation. Think the VW Bug of the EV world. When you need an...

    Introducing the Bezos-backed EV pickup for the masses

    Interesting concept that might just work. Will also force major auto companies to come up with a similar offering. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/slate-introducing-the-bezos-backed-ev-pickup-for-the-masses-022141712.html

    Heading to SA in 4 days....last minute tips?

    Whatever you do, don't post on any social media that you are about to leave the country for an extended time period. There are roving gangs of illegals that will rob your house while you are away. Just ask any NFL player on a road trip for an away game.

    Sleep Schedule

    For 5-1/2 years, I flew back and forth from Houston to Luanda, Angola, every 4 weeks. It was a 13-14 hour trip, non-stop on a all business class charter (Houston Express). I had to learn how and when to sleep. Departed Houston around noon and arrived in Luanda around 8am. We were expected to...

    Sleep Schedule

    There is a 7 hour time difference between US CT and the time in Joberg. To help transition, go to bed earlier and wake up extra early, say 3am or so, on the day of your departure. You can even start the routine a few days ahead time. You'll be tired and sleep better on the flight.

    NAMIBIA: Leopard Hunt In Namibia

    Will be doing the same trek on Lufthansa in a few months, so watching this with interest. Unfortunately, I have to do a United flight to Houston and then re-check my bag and rifle. Did you email Lufthansa about your rifles and ammo? I did, but never got a reply. After a few weeks, I phoned...
