just some impressions…
A small area that, for whatever reason, remained from deforestation and “thinning” , is now the Mac Mullan Provincial Park. The oldest tree has 800 years on its bark and was already 300 when Columbus came to America. 2013 a violent storm had knocked down a number of mighty trees, which now looks like a giant and a pituresque Gulliver´s Mikado game. In this spectacular jungle an older Canadian was shaking his head and he said “it’s a shame”. “It’s nature” I replyed to him, but in his thoughts the trunks were already transported to the sawmill.
Mercedes and BMW and drivers of all european exotics in america should be aware: if you have a problem with your car in the phoenix area, then atwood european is the address to stay at. Andrew knows his stuff with the modern technology of vehicles, he not only has a super clean and well-organized workshop, he breathes Mercedes like none I have met before. On weekends – in his leisure time, he restores a “tail fin” mercedes which looks now as if it had come straight from the factory and he regularly reports his knowledge and progress of the restoration in “The Star Magazine Mercedes-Benz Club of America”
“I never give up my friend” he said again and again, but he finally had to capitulate because a special cable, which was important for the software update for the engine was not built into our truck. And, because all his efforts were not crowned with the success he would have liked, he hadn´t charged anything !!! Andrew, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks also to the mercedes truck workshop in frankfurt where oliver kraus and martin lemmerz were conceded to solve my problems with the truck. Again: thank you, thank you, thank you.
Look at this video and it is hard to believe that fred is already 80 years. The former rock & roll musician and graphic designer paints only since 4 years and has just build a small -but super fine- gallery in his garden. It was a great experience catching up with fred and his wife gail and I look forward to co_work with him! © .n.g.
Ok, I admit it, yes. actually, I wanted to poke fun at the alien- and the ufo belief about that incident which had happened in roswell back in 1947.
But then … in the afternoon … amazing, really amazing!
By the way, here is a link to the wikipedia page where the roswell incident from 1947 is portrayed.
