Keith: Salt Point and the Buf-mobile
I'll add words another time. For now, here are some photos of my buddy Keith and his car back in 1978, 79, or 80. Salt Point State Park, Sonoma County, California.
My favorite word--garsecg--from the Old English Beowulf is a kenning or poetic riddle-word for the sea. It means "the spear-man," perhaps the echo of a figure like the Norse Aegir or some other surly northern Neptune. In other texts, garsecg seems to be an adjective meaning "sea-like," "stormy" or "tempestuous."
