Truck Stop


Now, I don't really know if this is the truckers name or if that's what he's haulin' but I know a lot of boys back home in San Francisco that'll be mighty glad to see him pull up. Catching these humorous photos on the road is always a chuckle, but it's the ones you miss that can stay with you a while. While driving back down from Denmark we saw a plain, white truck the said simply on the sides and rear: "SMUT TRANSPORT" but the camera, alas, was not at hand so you'll have to take my word.

Labba-Dabba-Doooo!

O.K., first off. Sorry for the long delay in getting out a new post. We have found that getting to a
Wi-Fi connection is still a bit more difficult than they would have us believe. And most of them are run by large ISP/telco's so they are just raping people out on the road to get online. Yes, there are free ones popping up here and there, but they're few and far-between. Plus, there's a little Catch-22: Finding one requires you to be online, but you gotta find one to get online.

Fortunately, we are in Ingelmunster, Belgium for the Labadoux Festival and are hosted by a good friend, Johanne who has a high-speed line as well as a special fridge stocked high with many of Belgium's finest brews. This festival featured Dave Edmunds as headliner as well as many other cool folk, rock and world-music acts from all over the world.

"Steady" Ed and Ian B. have a little moment with the audience while Thumper does what he does best: THUMP!
