Trucking along the River Elbe
from our man in Europe, Guido Goluke:
"Here's a sturdy model for you, parked in a little sleepy village in Saxony. Seen when I rode upstream along the river Elbe, from Cuxhaven to Dresden."--GG

Porsche 356 SC Coupes; back alleys of Banff
from Alex Emond, in Banff:
"Here are a pair of early 60's Porsches . Over in Heinz' driveway . I think he owns the red one , recently acquired and the blue one is probably getting some work done on it even though it looks to be in mint condition. Valuable little sports car ."The Fargo lurks just up the lane from me and I suspect that it will be getting some attention soon, once someone can afford the project. Nice , simple , basic truck. No nonsense whatsoever."--AE
from Pat Rogers; "These are SC coupes. The speedster of Porsche is an open car with cut
down windshield,no roll up glass (for weight saving) ....pre A series
and A series only.The Sc cars were C series only.....had all the final
improvements of the 356 cars before the introduction of the 911
series."

Travelling Light: My Brilliant Careerism, part xix
Thanks to Jarrod McCabe for the cover photo..."A master at making action convey a character’s inner state" ...from a review of Travelling Light in today's Globe & Mail, Canada's national newspaper.
"Nothing can make time stand still. But careful attention to detail can act as a kind of antidote to time’s relentless and sometimes frenzied passage. Astute observers miss less of life and the world around them. If they write well, they can share that gift with the rest of us." from a review in today's The Gazette (Montreal)
Travelling Light is a rich collection of short stories. The writer, Peter Behrens, often seems to have a Polaroid eye, using words to freeze scenes and allow the reader to immediately visualize what he is portraying." Toronto Star
