  3. Chronique autobiographique, écrite dans un style particulièrement truculent, des quelques années d’une expérience fondatrice. Témoignage de première main sur le quotidien des voyageurs du rail. En s’employant à noter ses impressions, Jack London a développé son talent d’observateur puis, en les mettant en forme, a affiné sa virtuosité à nous embarquer dans ses récits.

  4. Я тут подумал: а ведь если сварить сироп из зелёного (да и чёрного) чая, то его можно брать в дорогу вместо этого вашего хвалёного ice tea?

  5. "King of the Road" is a song written by #country singer #RogerMiller, who first recorded it in November 1964. The lyrics tell of the day-to-day life of a traveling #hobo, who despite having little money (a "man of means by no means"), revels in his freedom, describing himself humorously and cynically as the "king of the road". It was Miller's fifth single for #SmashRecords. The song won Miller 5 Grammy Awards in 1966.

  7. @gerolf_antritt wurde interviewt und – was soll ich sagen? – auch als Interviewter gebührt ihm der #interviewnobelpreis.

    Ich *sah* den #antrittpodcast. Was bei dem gezeigten Rad der Träume kein Nachteil war. ;-) Aber ich wünsche mir, dass der #antrittpodcast ein Medium bleibt, wofür die Ohren genügen.

    Im Übrigen kann ich Gerolfs Einschätzung – auf freilich radfahramateurhaftem Niveau – bestätigen: Der Umstieg von 3×9 auf 1×10 ist weniger dramatisch als befürchtet. #rosebikes #hobo

  11. Trixie's a silly little clown from a clown planet out in a galaxy far away. She was exiled for being able to turn into different types of clown! Now she spends her days around the DSO doing clowny stuff!

  12. improvised a more serious vesa mount, added plastic edges that feel like rubber, squirted hot glue everywhere I could, and added a warning notice taken from an old elevator

    the result is way too clean though, I'll add more dirt, torn stickers, rust stains and erosion traces to remove any doubt about the rat's style of the furniture 😉

  15. Dopiero co odkryłem kanał. Niestety Gość już nie żyje, stąd brak nowych materiałów. Jakieś 10 miesięcy temu znaleźli jego ciało w jeziorze 😔 Ale jest co oglądać, zwłaszcza jak jest się fanem kolei... lub włóczęgostwa...

  21. Yesterday I still had to use the heating at night. Today I had to use the ventilator the first time, because it's 28°C (82°F) in my trailer (even with a protecting roof).

    That escalated quickly!

    btw. the ventilator is solar powered.

  24. If you're ever near Mt. Shasta/Weed, CA, be sure to check out the Black Butte Center for Rail Culture. It's really cool, especially for those of us who used to ride freight trains.

    I was last there in 2017. One of the not-to-miss sights is the 1926 water tower across the tracks. Dating from the steam train era, there are old hobo tags from the 1930s carved into the wooden base. It's nice to sit there and imagine...
