Those boondock towns are also where gas is even more expensive, because they can afford to be. There are some places charging 8 bucks a gallons because they’re the only gas station for 50 miles.

Pro wrestlers LOVE cracker barrel, because a. travelling and b. can usually get healthy meals made with their customizations and accomodations.

Having just made the move from SoCal back to Detroit before the gas prices went up, and seeing what that cost, I’m guessing most of them would get sticker shock long before they got to the west coast...

They’re going to California? People won’t even notice them making traffic slow - if it’s even possible for traffic to get slower, there...

He pledged to “come back to finish this job” in the metro area at some unspecified time

Willfully blind simpletons giving up and skulking off with their tails between their legs...sometimes news can be terrific.

If the owner can’t be bothered to remove a twig under the hood ornament - even when he provides a closeup of that ornament - I can only…

Well to be fair the Titanic was built in 1912 and it’s sinking was kind of a freak accident. Had the doors in the hull been designed to seal properly, like they were supposed to, it would not have sunk.

Lots and lots of very large investment companies are buying up single family residential real estate all over the country. The assumption behind that is that there’s a whole generation who’ll have serious difficulty ever becoming home owners. So these investors figure there’s a captive market of long term tenants…
