“...connected to a minicomputer.” Back in the day, before personal computers, minicomputers were the size of washing machines. So I’m chuckling, imagining one of those stashed in the trunk of a Lincoln.

Thanks.

Okay, this is slightly off-topic, but what does a Formula E race sound like? The only Formula 1 race I ever attended was the Long Beach Grand Prix back in the days of howling Cosworths and shrieking Ferrari flat 12s echoing off the buildings. Mind blowing and ear destroying. So what’s Formula E like? Whiney?

The phones got bigger and bigger but my thumbs stayed the same size. More small phones, please. PLEASE!

I’ve driven that stretch of road a few times. It’s almost as thrilling and challenging when attempting 75 MPH in a Chevy Express campervan.

A story I heard was that they were really nervous about pulling off that shot where the car jumps over the camera. They weren’t certain it would work. The car might crash and there were only two running 300ZX’s in existence at that time.

The other day my brain was miles away and I made an illegal left turn, over a median strip, right in front of a cop. He pulled me over, of course. I deserved it. But, since I’m

“...the woman in front of him had no right to control him and that the woman to his right did not deserve to be onstage with him.” Because his Bible told him so.

I thought the sails (or whatever you call them) looked fine. What bugged the hell out of me was the way the tailgate and corners of the box were different heights. Why?

Some of them that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

Thirdly, most buyers would think they’re buying American. Fourthly, when Dad bought himself a fully optioned Silverado, the
