Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Goodbye, Fooz!

Won this with Webs coworkers back in ~2009 or so. One of them managed to bring it all the way to Seattle... then gave it to me to handle. I was going to pass it off to someone else, but we're all older and frankly nobody needs a monkey this large. Wound up giving it to a FedEx employee.

A red postbox

I honestly cannot remember this was taken in Seattle.

Flight to Pittsburgh

Fun fact! You can get a cheap flight to Pittsburg from Dulles airport on an airline that's mandated to be there after the whole deregulation mess from decades ago. We wound up getting this plane to go to Pittbsurg, and it was... a trip. Craziest sideways landing I've ever experienced in a plane.

A random carnival

Found this in a field in the middle of nowhere. Turned out to be fun!

Kingdom Hearts orchestra performance

We managed to get tickets to this shortly before leaving Tokyo. What a great show!

A very strange bar entrance

Found in some random corner of Yokohama. No idea what it was for, and I was probably drunk when I took this photo.

Glowing globe

Our local neighborhood bar had this globe for awhile. The bar was always dimly lit and the globe just added to the ambiance. I also may have been inebriated when I took this photo.

Mario Gottlieb pinball machine

A somewhat rare pinball game that could be found in an arcade in Odaiba for some time. I don't know if it's still there these days, but I've always loved the design! We had one in my hometown growing up for a super short period and I thought I'd never see it again... so was pleasantly surprised. My little brother got to try it here too.

Looking down a very dark and dimly lit alleyway somewhere in Tokyo. Pipes line the walls and are barely visible. At the very end, a sign for a bar is barely visible.

Dark alleyway

These shots are a dime a dozen in Tokyo, but I like them anyway.

The art style here is neat.
