In unrelated news, Pirelli will probably be changing its name to Cassandra.

How did you post this? Everyone knows cats can’t type...

Not bad. Could swear I’ve seen “worse” on You Tube before though. I’ll give it 7/10.

X-37B is so cute that I want to give it a hug...um, wait, the security guys shoot on sight don’t they?

I was out there about 10 years ago to check out Rachel, NV. Interesting little town in the middle of nowhere. At the time the only commercial enterprise there consisted of one gas station, a dollar store (?) and the Little Ale’ Inn which was a combination bar / motel / Mecca for UFO enthusiasts.

There’s a viewing area along the southern edge of McCarran International where you can park and plane-watch. This is off Sunset Rd. near the off-ramp for the 215 connector road that runs under the runways. Camp out there in the morning or afternoon and you’re bound to see a Janet flight pretty much every day.

Here in Lost Wages, you can’t go more than 2 or 3 miles in any direction and not find a Terrible’s gas station across the street from another Terrible’s gas station. It’s like their corporate M-O is to put two stations on major intersections positioned such-way that they are convenient to east/west-bound traffic or…

That Dog’s Brain: “I’ve got some goofy hoomans.”

Many moons ago while driving on I-10 through Alhambra (SoCal) I was rear-ended...uh, the car I was driving—a Ford Explorer Sport—was rear-ended fairly hard.

I was just clarifying that one point. I agree and/or have no issue with anything else in your post.

Basically, sunscreen protects you from the uv rays which cause cancer, but it also blocks absorption of vitamin D, which if you’re really deficient in can lead to...
