Monthly Wallpaper / Screensaver Calendar
Last year VB made a 2009 calendar (on her MacBook with iPhoto) of VWs she had photographed through the past year. She gave a few out, and was thinking of doing the same again this year. Then she happened upon another (non-car) blog, which offers a monthly desktop wallpaper calendar. Jealous, VB wanted one too. So, as an experiment she wants to start offering a monthly calendar of VWs, and another non-VW car.
To make a wallpaper or a screensaver, all you need to do is click on the image to enlarge it. Then Mac users control-click, others right-click. Click on "Set As A Desktop Background," or "picture" depending on your browser choices. You can fit it to your screen through your system preferences on your computer for wallpaper / screen saver adjustments.
This month choose between a close-up of a swamp cooler or a photo of King Farouk's 1931 Packard.

Funkengroovin - Terryville, CT Bug-A-Fair 2009, Rusted!
A few rusted VWs from Terryville. VB was disappointed as there seemed to be more last year, but still.... These were all situated in the Swap and Meet area. The Bus in the first photo below, was definitely at Terryville last year. The others - not sure. (Only photos today , as the dust has not yet settled in the CT house. We're still in the process of doing whatever it is we've been doing.)
Also - check out, The Original VW Camper Cookbook: 80 Tasty Recipes Specially Composed for Cooking in a Camper, from Barnes & Noble or from Amazon. They even have a YouTube Video advertising the book. Let VB add that another book, Cooking With the Dead: Recipes and Stories from Fans on the Road [Over 65 fabulous kynd and caring vegetarian recipes prepared with love] (Paperback), also focuses on cooking on the road, albeit sans the VW Bus photos. Oh, and if you're curious about what The Dead ate while they were touring, then read this article from 1994: NOTICED; Cooking For the 'Dead'. VB had pre-ordered the VW Camper Cookbook a few months ago and was supposed to receive it tomorrow. Amazon just informed VB, that the new estimated delivery date is now September 28.
