Technically, sorta kinda a 3/4 ton. In terms of how its marketed and perceived, it’s more like a 2/3 ton. It tows more than most 1/2 tons, not as much as a 3/4 ton, hauls (payload) about normal for a 1/2 ton.

Rhonda Rousey, despite being a well-muscled and likely strong woman trained in fighting skills, is still 5'7", 135 lbs. Even at her most “cut,” as in her latest fight, she’s probably still in excess of 15-20% body fat, giving her, at best, 115 lbs. of muscle. A fit male, as typically depicted in action movies, is over…

I’m in San Antonio where we, along with the Austin area, get inundated in the winter by Mountain Cedar/Juniper pollen which is, apparently, one of the worst pollens, and its in copious quantities. This year is the worst year since the mid-’90s. I got hit bad, basically overnight, and woke up with a congested chest.…

You can’t buy guns, legally, in a state other than your residence.

UConn Women’s Bball Coach Geno Auriemma has suggested the women’s sport would be more entertaining, and fair, if the rim was lowered 7" or so (in line with average NBA height vs. WNBA height).

I live in San Antonio. Last night the outside temperature dipped enough to pull our interior temperature down to the 66 degree trigger for my heater. My wife was cold when she woke up. I turned the heater to 68.

The McDonalds suit is a bad example to use in support of tort reform, especially when there are so many good examples- such as two suits against Starbucks in 2016, one for 1/4" too much steamed milk and one for too much ice in the iced coffee, against MasterCard for continuing a charity fundraiser even after the…

I work at an insurance defense law firm (rear-end somebody who ends up suing you, your insurance hires someone like me to defend you; sue your own auto or homeowners’ insurance company because they didn’t pay enough on your claim, they hire someone like me to defend them) and, other than our normal work, we’re…

The law does draw a distinction between 3 and 17, depending on state. In Washington, where this happened, Rape of a Child in the First Degree would be sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 12 and the perpetrator is more than 24 months older than the victim. This is a Class A felony that can result in life…

I think the internet, and the Gawker-related sites, in particular, are conditioned to hate anything that acknowledges some person has, or has family who have, enough money to buy a gift for someone else for more than $25. Like having successful family members who buy you stuff makes you a bad person.

I work for a small to mid-sized law firm. We have our big annual review, usually, in late November. By then, everything has been decided. What I did right, what I did wrong, what my raise will be, and what my bonus will be. So I just sit there, smile, acknowledge my mistakes, thank the boss for my successes, and then…

I was an out-of-state college student in Texas in the early 2000s and many bars wouldn’t let me use my out-of-state ID to drink. Apparently, if they check ID, and it was a fake Texas license, and not obviously so, they could be absolved of responsibility for serving a minor, but if it was a fake out-of-state ID, they…

Even if the car meets the technical letter of the agreement for the buyback, courts will sometimes interpret such contracts through the vein of “good faith.” If its clear the agreement that cars be “operable” to qualify, but that VW intended that be broad enough to cover cars that had some dings, dents, scratches,…

I can’t stand working from home. Hard to be productive.

I got a call from Dell collections as I prepared to walk into the bar exam, saying my new wife owed them $1600 plus collection costs and fees for a Dell computer she’d purchased. I knew she hadn’t purchased a Dell (she was using my old computer) and called her. Come to find out my Mother-in-law, who has bad credit,…

A. The U.S.’ Corporate Tax Rate of 35% is the highest of any country in the OECD, with the average being closer to that 15%;

B. Yes, companies jump through a lot of hoops, often expensive hoops, to get their real tax rate down, closer to that 15% average;

Do you really think the “hacking” is what lost the election for Hillary? Or, possibly, Hillary lost because, as her own husband criticized just weeks before the election, she made no efforts to reach out to voters in many suburban and rural counties in some of the states that actually cost her the election? Made no…

Anyone who wouldn’t isn’t a REAL car person.

Fracking is going to continue whether the anti-oil groups like it or not. We need oil, that’s the best way to get oil. Ultimately, the report doesn’t say fracking, in and of itself, contaminates ground water, it says poorly conducted and laxly regulated fracking CAN contaminate water. So implement appropriate…

What happens in the next couple of years when that YUUUUUGEE ESPN TV deal goes belly-up because ESPN loses enough subscribers to go broke?
