Well, I guess the hemi has been replaced by the the new Hurricane engine, a family of twin-turbocharged inline-six (I6) engines that offer more power and better efficiency, while also meeting stricter emissions standards, with standard (420hp) and high-output (540hp) versions available. Still this Dodge Ram has a lot of hauling power. I see many examples of independent truckers on my daily walks, HTT

A Day in the Life II The Herders of Tanzania - Africa
As the last rays of the sun stretch across the vast, golden plains of Tanzania, a gentle haze rises from the ground, carrying with it the peace of a day drawing to a close. In a small village nestled within the hills, the rhythms of life are ancient and deeply connected to the land.
The first stirrings come as the day begins its descent, signaling the time to bring the livestock home. A great river of cattle, goats, and sheep begins to flow back towards the village corrals. A young herder, wrapped in a brilliant red shuka, guides the procession, his figure a striking splash of color against the earthy tones of the landscape. He walks alongside the animals, kicking up a fine dust that glistens like gold in the backlight of the setting sun. The animals, a mix of solid black, stark white, and dappled brown, move with a purpose, following the well-worn path that winds through the fields, heading for the safety of the village.
Elsewhere, other herders lead smaller groups to their enclosures. The village itself is a collection of simple, yet sturdy, huts made of natural materials, their thatched roofs blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. From a distance, the village looks like a scattering of mushrooms on a great, sun-drenched canvas. A small, vibrant blue tin structure stands out—a modern touch in an otherwise timeless scene. The people here live in harmony with their environment, and their homes are built to be part of it.
Life revolves around the animals. They are not just a source of food and wealth; they are an extension of the family and a symbol of status. Goats, with their intelligent eyes, gather near the huts, watched over by a woman in traditional dress. The bond between the people and their livestock is palpable—a quiet understanding built on generations of shared existence.
As the sun dips lower, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, the herders complete their trek, bringing the animals safely back for the night. The dust from their hooves creates a beautiful, ethereal cloud behind them, illuminated by the fading light. It is a daily return, a quiet ritual that has been performed for centuries. It's a testament to resilience, tradition, and a way of life that honors both the earth and the creatures that walk upon it.
The story of this Tanzanian cattle herder village is not one of grand events, but of the quiet poetry of everyday life. It is a story of tradition passed down, of a people deeply connected to their land, and of the enduring beauty of a life lived in rhythm with nature, especially as the day concludes under a breathtaking African sunset.
Many trees are evergreen but not coniferous. Here the holly and the palm tree stand side-by-side at the botanical garden, another place I visit frequently for my daily walks. HGGT
We went for an all day drive on the country roads of Thunder Bay, a great day to get lost on the country roads.

Sleep tight.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
And if they do.
Kill them with a shoe.
It always makes her giggle.
