Let the Sun Shine In!
After many weeks, or maybe even months, of colds dreary foggy cloudy rainy snowy and generally weather that gets you down…we had a truly sunny day. It was, I would dare say, even slightly warm. The first of the month market was in town so we had a great time, along with the rest of the city I think, getting out of the house and soaking up some Vitamin D.

You Don’t See That Every Day.
I have noticed something odd, well I have noticed a lot of odd things but this is just another specific, farmers in Italy don’t seem to drive trucks. I always assumed that a truck was the modern day version of a horse or an ox, but not so here. Mostly farmers in Italy drive their tractors, although not often on the road as you might see in rural America. Sometimes they also drive small, beat up Fiat Pandas…usually in an ugly green or weird blue color. Yesterday, I saw a truck for the first time outside of the American military bases being driven by Italians instead of crazy Americans. Today I saw a second truck, same model (Dodge ¾ ton 4 door 4 wheel drive diesel). Both where shiny and didn’t have a scratch or a bit of dirt…so much like most trucks in America.

Style Tips
Now some may say that just because Trav lives in Porter he is not cultured, but I am here to tell you that is false. We all saw that with the right hat and scarf (and amount of wine) he can become a true man of the world. But I have noticed something since his travels here that has changed; he has actually changed Italian fashion. What most people may or may not know is that Trav has, in his past, experimented with various hairstyles including a very large fro. As I drove to work the other day I spotted an Italian guy, about 20ish, sporting a fro as well. Not thinking too much about it, I continued on my day…until I saw a different guy a few days later with the same look…following in Trav’s trendsetting-world traveling-man with no limits footsteps. Trav, you my friend, have started something great…the I-FRO. So, all you who want to be on the trend bandwagon, join Trav and two other guys and grow an I-FRO.
