I’m just kind of getting tired of it all. It is just over an hour’s drive to see my family but because of the border closure, I have only seen them once since December 2019. I think we need to trust the vaccine and those of us who have followed all the rules and gotten all our shots need to start to return to normal.…

What if we send Kylie Jenner there to distribute cans of Pepsi. That SHOULD fix everything.

That’s a bit of a false equivalence. A seatbelt is part of a product that is sold to a consumer, I am fine with requiring a level of safety in consumer products.

When you agree with them, they are freedom fighters; when you disagree, they are terrorists. Both sides can be guilty of this.

If I ever have trouble sleeping, reading a patent does the trick.

Aerodynamics are still crap. It’s a box on wheels. The new models have Air Conditioning, the old ones had a fan. New safety equipment is heavy. The old ones had nothing in the way of safety.

Oshkosh only bid on the trucks so they could get the uniform deal and replace pants with overalls. It was a package deal.

My last bike was a 1981 Yamaha XS 11 Midnight Special. 95 hp. Only got rid of it because the transmission was going bad and they didn’t have any parts availability.

I am not sure if Harley Davidson knows what the word ‘Glide’ means. Nothing about riding one is like gliding. 

That would explain the flag flying

Nice. I used to drive past a place called Morriston. One night some enterprising youths changed the name to Borriston. They weren’t wrong. Not a lot going on in that town.

AND, the shipyard would have planned this with the city. There is no way they would have just built the boat and then realized there is an issue later. These folks are not amateurs. But of course Rich People = Bad

Nerd alert!
