Old (and new) Sacramento

Teaching a class in Sacramento sounded like fun, at least when my co-worker called ans asked if I would take it. After all, Siemens is one of the companies I seriously considered persuing a career with (filed under:incomplete applications). I snagged a direct flight that arrived in the early afternoon. Not sure what to do with the rest of my day, I contemplated road tripping to Tahoe or San Francisco. Between traffic and wildfires both options seemed like a stretch, so I settled for wandering into downtown Sac.

Weekend Wanderings

August is a great time to hike in the Pacific NorthWest. We've fit  a couple adventures in the last few weeks...

Rental Review: Fiat 500

In travelling for work, I get the opportunity to drive many different makes and models of rental cars. Sometimes they're boring (Hyundai Elantra),  sometimes they're frustrating (the seats don't  fold  down in a VW Passat: Wolfsburg edition. Don't leave your keys in the trunk!), sometimes they're pigs (Chevy Captiva), and sometimes they're trippy (Nissan Altima with CVTransmission). It's about  time I started doing reviews ;)

Today, I give you the Fiat 500
