@@Tiny.Wayfinders My mother's dog was "firmly on a leash" when he was lying on their dock by the lake. My mother left him there for a short time. When she returned, she found him dead, hanging from the dock. He had fallen off the edge of it and the leash had acted like a noose. PLEASE don't ever let your pets near an edge like that, even with a leash. (Gorgeous cabin van, by the way. It's very much my aesthetic.)

@@Mark-um5hc 2003 television show “Firefly” was about a spacefaring captain of a Firefly-model ship named “Serenity.” Captain Malcolm Reynolds became a freelance freighter/smuggler after a civil war between the colloquially named Browncoats and the Alliance. The Alliance is analogous to the Empire of Star Wars, though maybe not quite as deeply evil. Just evil in the bureaucratic sense. The Browncoats fought for planets that wanted to maintain independence while the Alliance fought to bring all the populated and yet-to-be-populated planets under central control.

@@dross24MA haha, gawd I wish! We used to have a minivan which we considered converting for part-time travel, but my OH is 6ft 2in and it was a non-starter, despite his creative mind and "can do" attitude. As we do not have enough space to house a Ford Transit sized vehicle at this time, it will remain a pipe dream until we can acquire a parking space (with power) so we can get a vehicle and start converting it. Already converted vans fetch a pretty penny in the UK. Also, not many local authorities like people who wish to park off-grid or boondock, rather than in specified camping areas etc and restrictions seem to be increasing, thanks to selfish and thoughtless people treating the environment like a toilet.
