We did it! Here's our brand new 4Runner. We've already taken it in the dirt a little, and it's amazing. Can't wait to get out for some real camping!

I found the following list of "eternal truths" on my dad's bulletin board about a decade ago, and it really captured my interest. It's a little glum, but then as now, it's a decent match with my feelings on The Big Issues In Life. I'll give you a couple here, but you have to click on to see the rest of them.

  • This is it!
  • There are no hidden meanings.
  • You can't get there from here, and besides there's no place else to go.
  • We are all already dying, and we will be dead for a long time.
  • Nothing lasts.
  • There is no way of getting all you want.
  • You can't have anything unless you let go of it.
  • You only get to keep what you give away.
  • There is no particular reason why you lost out on some things.
  • The world is not necessarily just. Being good often does not pay off and there is no compensation for misfortune.
  • You have a responsibility to do your best nonetheless.
