We had a used 90's something Nissan 240sx. I loved that car. Fit like a glove. Fun to drive. Was going to need some transmission work, and someone pulled out in front of me. T-boned them just behind the driver. Not worth fixing. Too bad. Nice car.

I, too, would like to see the rebirth of compact pickups. My first vehicle was a ‘69 Datsun pickup. Drove that little guy until about ‘78, when our son got too big for a car seat between us. Oh, the fun I had with it. Before I got married, I used to go camping with 3 other guys. All in the front. Cramped, yeah. But we…

Not everyone hates it. My boss was telling me just yesterday about this guy and other people that are living full time on cruise ships. Convenient that jalopnik has a story about him.

You also gotta remember, that for us growing up in the '50s, '60s and'70s, we usually first heard songs on AM radio. Then on 45's or LP's played on not very good turntables. So you'll have to forgive us for not hearing lyrics correctly.

What? No mention of Cheech and Chong a version of My Sharona?

Probably yelling “WE’RE GONNA DIE!!!

Is goats milk a suitable substitute? I know it is about the best thing to feed baby animals.

What if the next car you look at is a ‘67 Beetle?

Buy a good rubber hose instead of the cheap vinyl ones. It will last many years longer. I have one that is over 20 years old. I never drain it. Just roll it up on the cart and stick it in the shed. Freezes solid every winter. Also, cut two 1 foot or so pieces off of it. Put new appropriate ends on all the cut ends.…

Just install some motion detector switches. Then you don’t need to worry about turning them off.

Reminds me of an old Mad magazine comic strip. A guy with a big bushy mustache is sitting at a table. He picks up a can of mustache wax, smears it on, and twists it into a nice handle bar. It suddenly goes BOING! And reverts to being bushy. He repeats with more wax. Still goes back to bushy. Last panel he is trimming…

Be advised. Ladies. If you have had a divorce or two, you will need all of your marriage licenses and divorce papers. You have to prove how your name got from your birth name to your current name. It took us a couple of weeks of calling county court houses in the western states to find my wife’s first marriage…

Make a sheet out of 5 or 6 strips for duck tape. Put a glob of peanut butter in the center of the sticky side. Place it in the area with the camel crickets, sticky side up.  Smash the stuck ones every day or two. Replace the sheet as needed. You can never totally get rid of the little guys. Just control their numbers.

Best thing we have found for killing wasps? Engine starting fluid. Kills them instantly. Does not leave a poison residue.

Several years ago, we heard a terrible screeching cry out our front door. Ran outside to investigate, and found a little fledgling Downy woodpecker with a toe caught in the strap around a downspout. We got him loose easily. He held onto my shirt for a minute or so, then flew over to the tree next door. Followed by its…

Is anybody else here old enough to remember this guy?

You mean this one? It is just a simple double exposure.

Long ago, we had a rather plump cocker spaniel. She would eat anything. If she was quietly sleeping on the floor and suddenly jumped up, went to the other side of the room and plopped back down... you better open a window or go somewhere else for a bit.

Ignorance?! I started working in my professional photographer father’s darkroom when I was 14 (that would have been 1966) When he retired, I had a b&w darkroom service for most of the photographers in our city. Did that until digital photography killed it. I’ve been working with PS and LR from the first year they came…

How to tell if a photo has been manipulated? Has it been published in the last 10 years? Than it has been manipulated.
