Dynamic Stall

I went down to the dealer this past Saturday and leased me a ‘07 Mazda3 Sport 5-Door in sassy Sunshine Silver Metallic. It looks just like this pic except a light silver color. She’s pretty nice! First new car I’ve had since the legendary Toyota 4-Runner back in the early 90’s.

I’m pretty dang happy with my lease. The terms are great even if I blow over the mileage allowance. And did I mention how fast she goes?! Yikes I look down and am going 80 but it feels like 35. My old pickup never could handle much over 65 without letting me know I was pushing it!

It seats four fairly well and has a lovely trunk space for my signs and such. All good. Gas mileage is pretty good at 30/36 or there abouts.

Now that I’ve bought a car that is very Tokyo Drift I guess I may need to tint it up, get some neon and a big Mazda racing logo on the back. I’ll be hanging with all the Asian kids here soon!

What? I’m not kidding.

While in LA and Vegas for the wedding extravaganza I had some interesting conversations with several friends about how I find out about stuff. Internet stuff, non-Internet stuff and just plain stuff.

Well, I find out about everything by reading and reading it on the Internet. Or as I lovingly call it, the Interweb. That’s where the email is, right?

I’m out on the West Coast yet again. I get to hang in LA for a few days before heading over to Vegas for the wedding of a good friend. It’s wonderful seeing my pals but dang someone needs to hurry up and invent beaming technologies because flying is so tiresome. Ick. I do not enjoy it in the least especially with all the 9/11 uber security disrobing one has to do to board the dang plane.

I got to see my old friend Charlie (who has a link in the Blogroll list) - haven’t seen him in 15 years or so. That was swell. We had some cocktails, snacks and good conversation. I wish I could have stayed a leetle longer but you know how these things go.

See for yourself… it’s hella funny
