Caveat: Tree #1056

This tree, beneath glowering, snow-laden clouds, saw that I had tried to put chains on the Blueberry (the Chevy Tahoe).

I say “tried” because not once, but twice, the chain on the right rear wheel came off, and I had to get down in the snow and readjust it. After the second time it came loose, I gave up and removed the chains. In all, it took me more than an hour to drive to town with these delays, and so I was late to work. I came home without the chains installed, too, although honestly I really would rather have had the chains – it’s pretty difficult managing the Blueberry’s momentum on the ups and downs of the road when it’s buried in foot of slush.

It was a very stressful day because of this issue.

Caveat: oblivious popularity

The single most-visited page in my blog this year is an obscure blog-post I made in August, 2008, about a Japanese pop song I discovered by seeing its name on the screen of a stranger’s cellphone on the Seoul subway.

That’s weird. Such are the vagaries of the google search engine.

So here is the winner in the 2021 caveatdumptruck.com popularity sweepstakes. I’ve cleaned up the page a bit and added a link to the actual song, since I suspect most googlers are arriving on the page hoping to find the song.

Caveat: 오블리비어스.
