2010-12-16 Purchasing E150 Ford Econoline Van (later named “Vanna White”)
2010-12-16 I had searched several places for a Ford Econonline van and made many phone calls. Today, I found what I wanted and went to a dealer to test drive the vehicle. I haven’t purchased many vehicles – and with the cost of transportation, this is a ‘life substantial’ purchase. I met the sales staff, went on a test drive and tried to ensure that the van was in good condition. Visually, I didn’t see any signs of any damage (but, I think that there had been a fender-bender that was repaired). Anyway, I decided to buy it – pay cash – and signed the paperwork. I had to sit and take a deep breath before deciding if this was what I really wanted to do – or walk-away.
I met many people on the staff and was made comfortable with my decision. I put the papers needed for getting the license tag in the driver door storage. I talked with 2 of the drivers who were to drive the van home for me since I had driven the MG to the dealer and needed help getting my new purchase home. They had a GPS and input my home address. They drove ahead of me and the MG was slower than the van drivers. At my house, the van driver returned to the dealership with the car driver. It was night and took several hours to accomplish the sale and return home, but – I was happy.
Later, when reading web posts to the yahoo vandwellers emails, someone asked the others if they ‘named’ their vehicles. Several responded with their names and I began to think that I also needed a name for my recently purchased van. I don’t remember when the ‘name’ hit me – but the celebrity name “Vanna White” was descriptive of the van and grew-on-me.
The celebrity Vanna White, is the woman who works on the tv game show “Wheel of Fortune” with host, Pat Sajak. Her job is to ‘turn the letters’. Actually, when the show began, she would walk across stage to theletter board and actually turn a letter from being blank to being a letter that a contestant guessed. Now, in modern times, the physical letters have morphed to electronically changed digital letters and there is no “turning-the-letter”. The modernized version of the show has a backstage technicians turn the letter light on when a contestant guesses that letter, and Vanna White walks to the letter and touches the light to have it change to a visible letter. What a job – somebody has to do it.

I try to post a lot of pictures and that is why it may take a long time to load. Also, a friend told me that they browse websites with a phone and my site doesn’t display well. My response is that the website was probably built for a desktop or larger view screen and doesn’t render the visual well to a mobile small screen.

Thanks. I’ve had others tell me that they use cellphones for browsing and it is hard-to-do. I wanted to let everyone know that the loading is probably slow due to the many pictures that I post. The website builder uses a ‘gallery’ feature for pictures that loads all the thumbnail-sized photos to the main post and allows the reader to click on any picture to have them render to the screen at a larger size. Then, the reader is able to go backwards-and/or-forward in the gallery. If the website were only text or with fewer pictures, I think that it would load faster. However, I believe that readers are looking for what they would see if they went to a place I visited, they would want to have pictures. My theory….

I have a home desktop and wired-internet. I think that mobile users experience a slower load due to the thumbnail-gallery of pictures. The whole gallery has to load before the page opens and I’m pretty sure that is what slows down the viewing. The price that you have to pay for having all the pictures is a slower rendering in a browser.
