The west finally got me with its beauty, so out came the camera. I am in Las Vegas at a lovely 102* in the sunshine, perhaps the spirit o'Phil is at least partially responsible for the absolutely trouble-free couple of thousand miles over the past couple of days, but this car has not skipped a beat since Traverse City Michigan. Tonight, I tune the piano in the fiendishly hot trailer in Pahrump and try to compose a piece. Tall order too, Phil loved disarmingly simple but devilishly difficult Chopin Polonaise pieces and of course the untouchable Rachmaninoff concerti. To play my dad's piano to remember Phil by. . . music can do that.

Found this wreck of an old air-cooled diesel. . . :

And I am missing this guy, the links I have been getting from friends and family to all the car mag articles and blogs just keep it ripped open :
