Been driving one of these for almost two years. Worst thing that happened was some random crumbs fell into the seat belt buckle and interfered with the latching. Solid. Dependable. Comfortable. And, way more spacious than it seems. We can carry everything we need for selling at the farmers market with ease, booth and…

It has a cover for when you’re not driving it. Keeps seats dry and not debris-covered. Like the good ol’ days of MGs and Triumphs and ...

It has a cover for when you’re not in it and don’t want your seats wet or dirty.

Dogs are particularly attracted to the scent and flavor of antifreeze. And, many get sick and die each year because some people can’t clean up after themselves or because of truly evil intentions.

Diesel intended his engine to run on vegetable oil. He was persuaded by Henry Ford and others to use petroleum-based fuel. So, we have dealt with smoky, dirty, sooty diesel-powered trucks, buses, and cars for decades because petroleum interests won out. There are options for blended petroleum/vegetable diesel fuel…

“Jesus, Billy.”

Among the, “innovations,” by the Reaganauts, ending the move to the metric system by the U.S. was one of their first. Losing a Mars satellite is just one of the most famous failures caused by this reactionary attempt to, “keep America American.”

Looks like fun. Sometimes, fun is enough.

My ex did that. She didn’t drive, so I had to sign for the rental truck and off we went to her house. Nothing packed at all. Nothing. 10 hours later, I had to call the company to tell them we were needing the truck overnight, and for another day’s rental.

Why, yes. Glad Dick Portillo has had such great success, and maybe he’s calmed down a bit through the years, but in that moment, he was just being his namesake.

My first-ever job at just under 16 years old was at a hot dog place named for the owner in suburban Chicago that over the ensuing decades become part of a huge company with restaurants of various kinds across the country.

As written earlier, this is a notebook, not a pocket book as the latter is a purse and the former is a way to carry paper for making notes upon in one’s pockets or bag or ... purse.

RE: No. 1. There was a woman I met who bought herself an RX-7 for her 60th birthday (not exotic, true, bear with me).
