Re rocks. Latin. Means again, as in redo or remake or rethink. Also means back, as in reflect, return, reimagine. Re is a state all of us are in some of the time and some of us are in all of the time.
There’s a lotta re in The Lincvolt Years – coming soon – so you’ll get a chance to see what I mean when the series arrives.
My state of re shows up in our home – a barn renovated for human life. Our wardrobe – mostly excellent retreads from the thrift shop. In our driveway – all used, even the canoe. I’ve slipped through 70 plus years now and have never owned a new, fresh off the line vehicle. 4 wheel, 2 wheel, no wheels at all. Everything’s been recycled.
The Driver has owned more cars than anybody I’ve ever known. I have personally met dozens of them. There’s dozens more I’ve never known. And to the very best of my knowledge he’s only bought one or two new ones.
In this out-take from The LincVolt Years he talks about used cars.
Here’s the scene: …the first attempt to use a Mazda rotary engine to generate electric power has failed. In a last ditch effort to salvage their journey The Driver decides to buy a used Mazda Rx7 from a guy in Wichita. We pick it up as the Mazda rolls into the garage…
Official LincVolt Years Out Take:
It’s getting a little chilly up here at Shakey Pictures North HQ. What started out as a journey has turned into a quest.
Winter Solstice brings soft snowflakes and memories and spirits from my life. In a dream last night I saw the original people wrap the first Europeans in robes and help them build shelter and hunt and bring them food so that they could simply survive in those first harsh winters. That’s a lotta love.
Happy holidays.
