The other day, I came across an article in The Globe & Mail about a Brazilian who had made an “epic ride” on horseback from Alaska to Calgary this year. It seems that it is not the first epic horseback ride that Filipe Masetti Leite has made, and according to the article, once traveled on

Can lighters blow up in the sun? I honestly before never expected that a lighter left out in the sun would blow up. But if they are Chinese and cheap, I discovered by accident, they can. Last year, I was warned not to leave any lighters in the vehicle as they could blow up, and

For at least a year, the above Fiat has been sitting in the very same place on Leof. Irakliou (Irakliou Avenue) in Nea Ionia, Attica, Greece.
