I’m starring this just for “atrabilious.” The rest of the article was good - that was downright notable.

Doggone it, Flash! Them Duke boys dunnit ag’in!

WHERE IS YOUR DIXIE HORN NOW?!

Cheap-ass OEM gauge manufacturers, I’m guessing.

+1 for listening to The Flophouse podcast.

I work with a dude who managed to buy a retired cop Crown Vic with the sirens and floodlight intact (no light bars, though). Basically it’s got all the cop goodies minus the lights and laptop stands. That dude never sits in traffic.

Huh, yesterday morning I was buzzed in the late morning (around 11:30) by a C-130 moving VERY fast down low, <1000', over my home - I’m close to the MA/NY border.

Tesla just put a Supercharger in the parking lot of a supermarket in western MA. It’s near where I live, and there’s wall-to-wall-fuck-all to do right there. Just a middling supermarket with free WiFi in their crummy little cafe.

Only clearheaded straight-shooter Roger Goodell can get to the bottom of this mystery!!
