Willys

I'm back from cycling in Oregon. Maybe the most memorable moment happened in a parking lot along the Columbia Gorge (which is impossibly beautiful). A young father brought his two small children over to examine a jeep parked next to my van. "Isn't that interesting," he told his children. "Of course it isn't a real jeep. It's an imitation. See here, it has 'Willys' marked on it."

(Maybe I should translate--Willys was the once famous company that made the World War II jeep.)
