VP Cheney travels the world in an Airstream hidden in a cargo jet

First let's get this straight. There is nothing about VP Cheney that I admire or aspire to. Having said that we have something in common. We both spend some of our time in classic Airstream trailers. That's me and my dog Maile above.

Cheney's Airstream is buried in the bowels of a "C-17, a hulking gray cargo jet out of Charleston, S.C. . . dubbed The Spirit of Strom Thurmond". This story from the Chicago Tribune coupled with today's 416 point loss in the Dow Jones Industrial Average have motivated me to breath new life into my 1966 Airstream Safari into a lean mean high tech urban living environment. I call this project "Airstream Hacienda" and you will be hearing much more about it in the months ahead.

As I post this revision I am "air-streaming" it wirelessly with a wonderful new wi-fi router called a Junxion Box
