A Tale of Two Tracking Bugs

In the world of geocaching, there’s a fun activity that involves the use of what’s called Travel Bugs. Basically, Travel Bugs are items of virtually any nature small enough to fit inside a geocache, with a unique tag attached to each one.

Tire Noise Comparison

Disclosure: Thanks to Collective Bias for sponsoring my tire buying experience! Nearly 70,000 miles in and it was finally time to upgrade my OEM tires.
