How do you know the Captain’s age? A person can easily become a captain by their mid-30s with study, experience, and solid work. Considering that we know that it takes until the 50s for the combination of skill, experience, and time to put someone, “in their prime,” a police captain can easily be well at the top of…

The projects could also be one and the same.

This trend toward not roasting coffee deprives people of greater ranges of flavors and aromas. It’s harder to properly roast a coffee so the fullest flavors come out without turning bitter. So, instead of learning to do that, we are seeing people basically serving up, “white coffee,” loaded with caffeine (not that…

Supreme Being.

Blacklights are also useful for seeking out scorpions in the dark. Granted, this is only a desert problem, but stepping on one can get you stung and lead to a very unpleasant day.

Brilliant. Now, could someone take a shot at it with Spader-as-Alan Shore delivering some of his closing arguments?

Loved Tang!

We went with tan/beige because in the desert, it’s light enough to not get too hot, but also it’s about the color of the dust so it doesn’t show the dirt.

Wonder if they’re nostalgic for the days when they all rode bicycles and nobody owned cars?

At least, “A Canticle for Leibowitz,” wasn’t on this list. Took a class in, “Science Fiction as Literature,” “back in the day,” and that was the worst, dreariest, most boring thing I was ever forced to read. I made a suggestion that, “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress,” might be a better choice and my English teacher…

This all sounds good, except for staying in coach. If one is taller than average, the seats are not something you can sleep in. One night, perhaps, but not more than that. Even a sleeper during a long day trip is much more preferable to being stuck in a coach seat.

Actually, the former Yugo factory was bombed to dust during the NATO air strikes as it was producing munitions for Serbia at that time. Zastava/Fiat rebuilt it, and started car production again. The 500L I’ve been driving for almost two years has been solid, reliable, dependable, and a joy to own. Like so much on the…

In her autobiography, Nancy Reagan said her husband was already very far along in the progression of his Alzheimer’s when he first became President in 1980. Some people keep wanting to overlook that, but who knows better than a spouse about the condition of their spouse? The man was an actor and read his lines well.…

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…

Had Lasik in ‘08. Took about a month before the dry eye settled down. I reacted badly to the medicated drops and so had punctal plugs inserted and continue to use OTC drops perhaps 2-3 times a day.
