Size matters

As size matters and small cars become cool again, small vans like this 1969 Subaru 360 Van might have a comeback. A VW Bulli is nice, but this Scoobi van is just cool and hip!

Jumping model wolf

Jose Luis Rodriguez, the winner of the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year award, has been disqualified after judges ruled that the haunting portrait of an Iberian wolf was probably a trained model and not a wild wolf.

Hmm, at least it's not a fake wolf. But honestly: nice shot!

Johnny's live performance at Folsom state prison has written music history. The recording became a bestseller, his performance legendary, his status of an outlaw was made.

New York City Buys Historic Coney Island Tract From Developer

A sign for the historic Wonder Wheel is seen at the Coney Island amusement park November 12, 2009 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. After years of blight, city officials have agreed to purchase seven acres of real estate in Coney Island for around $96 million in order to expand and modernize the amusement area. The area has been deteriorating for decades following an earlier heralded era with seaside luxury hotels where the roller coaster and hot dog were invented.

U-haul

I moved back to town. District 3, workingclass environment and old houses, built in the 1920s. The view is terrific and life seems to be everywhere.

Parking is a nightmare or you end up feeding the parking meters for hours....




But for next time I'll get a real mover truck and have the job done by professional movers, never ever will I carry all my stuff upstairs to the 4th floor!
