Mark pulled in today to the T/A truckstop in Oak Grove and he gave me a call. I went over to meet him, but we didn't get a chance to spend much time due to prior commitments.

This is one of Dave's cars he drives everyday. I love this car. They are quite rare in the states these days. This is the final evolution of the German military "jeep" adapted for mass production.

One of the houses We looked at.



75th and Ward Parkway house
Originally uploaded by suyenvp.

OK, this house is very interesting. It is much bigger than it looks on the outside and is on a pretty good lot. But most interestingly is the storage under the house -- there are doors that lead to old stone foundations that are much bigger than the house -- kinda spooky actually.
