Professor Daisy's going to have a godawful commute to her new work.
Hard to appreciate how tough it will be.
Tramp knows.
He says 'good-bye' at the station.

Yeah, well I might just have to smuggle him along with me in my cat carrier each day.

Hev, my Gog, I had no idea I had a whole town, let alone that Tramp and I were running around in it in kids' bodies! I better get over there and check it out!

Wayne! You're breaking my heart! Can't I rig one of those up for biodiesel or something? Weld some chopper blades on the roof and an El Heliocaminoport on the roof of my office?

Daisy, What do you do? I ask only because so much has been made of you getting a new vehicle and becoming a prof.

Daisy · Postby **Daisy** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 3:28 pm

Well, actually I've been teaching at various colleges for a while, but this job is a full-time tenured professorship in the arts which is very difficult to get and such a great job. I do a lot of things. I have graduate degrees in literature and in art. I played flute in the symphony in LA, and guitar and percussion in a jazz band that toured asia for a while. This particular job will be in the art department of a private college. I'll teach drawing, painting, and new genre art, which includes video, installation, sound-art, action, conceptual art, assemblage and hybrid media - especially Freezer Trees, my specialty.

Well that's what I do officially, I'm not telling the unofficial business!

The vehicle just came up because I get one with the job, and I don't own anything now so Tramp and I were checking out different rides wondering what I should get. In fact, all I own now is this computer, a flute and my clothes really. Plus some most beautiful jewelry given to me be a poet tramp. Plus, it's going to be quite the commute for me so I'm not sure what to get. WANT EL CAMINO. need hybrid. :roll:

If only there were a train.

AAAANNND It's a hybrid!!!!!!! :shock:

Ford F-250 Super Chief Concept
Some elements of this V10-powered silver streak
are ready to leave the station
Rex Roy Inside Line October 12, 2006

Under the forward-opening hood rests a sleeping giant — a tri-fuel-capable V10 displacing 6.8 liters. What's "tri-fuel"? Check this out: Like some 1.6 million ethanol-gasoline-powered Fords already on the road, this V10 eagerly gulps down gasoline or E85 ethanol.
However, the supercharger that tops the Super Chief's 30-valve aluminum heads and intake spools up only when the fuel supply switches to clean-burning hydrogen. A multiple-storage-tank setup under the truck's bed provides a claimed range of nearly 500 miles running on hydrogen. Running on E85 and gasoline, the V10 produces 310 horsepower, with torque coming in at 425 pound-feet. Power drops when running on hydrogen, but the supercharger keeps the torque rating at 400.

Jon, isn't it odd to think that my old 1966 Impala 327 puts out about 300 horses and over 400 foot pounds of T. The 396 in my 1965 did more than that. That thing lifted when I pressed like a woman who loves you. Way she goes.

Tramp · Postby **Tramp** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 6:30 pm

Jon, Are you kidding me? You offer a beer, I gotta answer? I thought that was a given, brother. Didn't you notice my nod?

Now that I drank it, I do have something to say:

Thanks!

Oh. One other thing:

This next one is on me.
