#80 Lightweight Splash Guard -
Feb 17, 2016
Mini fender by Wald Manufacturing USA
I bought this as a substitute for a full size fender because I need some wheel splash protection but want to avoid the maintenance and clutter of full size. This guard is solid, heavily chromed, the hanger tab is beefy, BUT the rivets joining the two have already started to loosen. At some point I will have to redo the rivets, but I will definitely put it back on the bike as it is a perfect size for what I need, does the job well, and looks pretty good too.
TRANGIA FUEL BOTTLE 1.0L
Feb 19, 2019
extra safe alcohol fuel bottle worth its weight in gold
This is the ONLY fuel bottle I know of that has an auto closing valve so you don't have to worry so much about the bottle tipping over while you are getting the stove ready to use after filling (or alternately worry about the stove tipping over while you close the bottle.) Anyone camping with kids will especially appreciate this, to have this extra measure of safety is worth its weight in gold. Thank you Trangia. Now that I've seen the quality of your fuel bottle, I plan to get one of your full stove & cook sets in the future.

The Space Race, the Cold War and then came Laika
November third, 1957 the Soviet Union sent Laika (a.k.a. Kudryavka) a female part-Samoyed terrier into space aboard Sputnik 2 with no plan for recovery, Laika would die in space. What was told to children of the 50’s and 60’s (myself included) was that the Soviets had made every effort to ensure she was as comfortable as possible during her flight, that she was “put to sleep” before her supplies ran out after ten days in space and that she “did not suffer.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The book Laika by Nick Abadzis is the the book I wish I could have created. A graphic historical novel rendered in just 205 pages, Abadzis re-creates the Cold War Era and the frenzy of the Space Race. Of all the creatures great and small that would die in this effort to “conquer space” Laika/Kudryavka was the only one I know of who was deliberately sent on a one-way mission. With astounding detail brought by fantastic research (including at the house of Sputnik’s Chief Designer, Sergei Korolev) the author presents not only the story of the dog the world would come to know as Laika but the lives of the people intwined with her fate in the context of the 50’s, the Cold War, the Space Race and all that that implies. It has taken decades and the collapse of an entire nation state for facts of this story to come to light. This is not a happy story but it is a story that needs to be told nonetheless, for the sake of all good dogs everywhere and for ourselves.
