It’s the almighty dollar. States do it to save money.

No, even in such states it is illegal to have two different actual license plates on your car. Yeah, you can have a “plate” on the front advertising your business or favorites sports team - that’s because it’s not a license plate at all. Anything that a cop and a judge agree is a license plate is a no go. My lawyer…

Sounds like a great trip, but there are no road connections between Panama and South America. So you can drive from Boston to Panama, but no further. The way people who “drive to South America” avoid this is by not driving there at all - they usually hire a ship. Seroiusly, the “Pan American Highway” doesn’t connect -…

There was a drive-through liquor store in the town where I went to college - just off-campus, in fact. It had garage doors on both sides and pretty much looked like a regular liquor store inside, except for the garage doors and the one-lane path between them. You pulled up, drove in and stopped, while you ordered…

Completely different? No, they agree about what I called the “official position”, as well as a great many other things. So do the Baptists, the Methodists, the Seventh-Day Adventists, the Pentacostals, the Ukrainian Catholic Church, the Presbyterians, the Lutherans (ELCA, WELS and MO Synod), the United Church of…

It’s correctly identified many of my books, but I have yet for it to discover an e-book version of any. I’ll keep trying, though.

I believe the official poisition of the Christian religion is that they are, in fact, the same. Just sayin’.

I say it because it’s easier to say than “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”

Right. My daughter did this (on a car I gave her).

Sure - but today? I’m not sure that this is real “economic turmoil” exactly. Maybe it is in Angry White Man land, but I don’t think that’s Trump’s appeal there. The AWM demographic indeed sees no hope, but it is not primarily economic - it is loss of privilege. The “right” to fag-bash. The “right” to keep non-AWMs…

DTW is a Delta hub, but ATL is their primary hub.

Penis enlargement has been a “real” surgical procedure for a long time - much longer than breast implants have been around. It’s pretty scary, though.

Yes, all of that is true. As partial mitigation, I’ll point out that passing on the right in the parking lane, while infuriating at times, is legal in Wisconsin as long as you remain on the road. I have a lot of driving experience in Istanbul, San Juan PR, Bangkok, Atlanta, Chicago and Boston, and Milwaukee is a piece…

You’re thinking of “AltaVista”.

This. Yes, this. The best spray adhesive for this is the 3M spray adhesive that’s the same as the stuff they use for post-it notes. I’ve used this system (sometimes called “scary sharp”) for years, and it works well for me.
