Up early today, but not as early as Kim who took Charlie up Deal Canyon. With a late start, I catch them about three (? — Kim thinks it is much less) miles in, as they were returning. (You can see a work-in-progress experimental take on Charlie’s greeting as he spots me coming up the trail.) After a couple of encounters with stranger dogs, we return into town, still crisp and cool from the fall start. And a little visual automotive trivia is noted along the way, including a reminder of Volkswagen’s “dieselgate” debacle.
(By the way, in case you don’t know, the “TDI” rear badging on VWs (and some Audis) stands for Turbocharged Direct Injection, but is also known as Turbo Diesel Injection. In any case, it designates VW’s diesels for the past decade or so.)
