A milk float is a battery electric vehicle (BEV), specifically designed for the delivery of fresh milk. They were once common in many European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, and were operated by local dairies. However, in recent years, as the number of supermarkets, small independent grocers and petrol stations stocking fresh milk has increased, most people have switched from regular home delivery to obtaining fresh milk from these other sources.
Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around 10 to 16 miles per hour (16 to 26 km/h) although some have been modified to do up to 80 mph (130 km/h). Operators often exit their vehicle before they have completely stopped to speed up deliveries; milk floats generally have sliding doors that can be left open when moving, or may have no doors at all. They are very quiet, suiting operations in residential areas during the early hours of the morning or during the night.

If you see my room in my apartment and compare it to this, knowing this is how I see the world... You'd feel sorry for me. But for its size, my room is rather plain, and that's b/c I wasn't able to bring my life with me (just the essentials: only a handful of books -really I guess its an armload- no posters, no cds, no flowers, no orange walls, no crazy toys -ok that's a lie, I have Jack and Sally and their love child along with Kevin to keep my company)... where was I going with this? Oh right, if you want to know the inner workings of my mind and the clash of my separate worlds (since I tend to compartmentalize) you just need to peak into my room, which seems to surprise some and then not at all others.
Anyway, what am I reading? Just something awesome, its almost like I'm reading something I wrote... that's how well this guy captures the way I feel about grass, and bubbles etc.
You know what's even better than a surprise gift... another surprise after you think the surprise is over. Here's to listening to surprise music :)
And floating... mustn't forget floating

Finishing the morning shooting along the docks in Charleston Harbor, I spied this fence with dozens of floats hanging on it. I love the colors, shapes and textures of this shot.
