Agreed 1000%. I-70 from Denver to I-15 is the first interstate that came up in my head. It’s just so fun and beautiful.

There are a couple of policy proposals out there that suggest indexing minimum wage to various local economic indicators, like median housing costs or the consumer price index for an urban area. That way, it would be higher for San Francisco than it would be for Chattanooga. The benefit would be that the more…

I can’t imagine Mistu knows how to get 400hp out of their engines anymore. They probably let go the last engineer who knew how to install the turbochargers years ago.

Yes, comedy albums are great for driving since the laughter can keep me awake.

Yes, it doesn’t matter how fast the music or how loud I play it, I will get lulled into sleepytime on a road trip.

Now, now, I consider myself an optimist and I agree that eradicating polio, Hamilton and the Bronco were good things that happened this year. But let’s not count out:

If want audiobooks for the drive but don’t want to pay for Audible I recommend the Libby app which lets you check out eBooks and audiobooks from your local library. It lets you download the audiobook for offline use and has an Android Auto interface (probably Apple CarPlay too).

I just drove through Ohio and Indiana and it’s worse than Kansas and Nebraska. The interstates are just lined with very boring trees. At least you can see to the horizon in Kansas.

Same, these look good. I never was into the three-wheeler craze because the Polaris looks like something Schumacher-era Batman would make Robin drive.

She’s going to keep this viral shoe thing going. I’d bet money she’s showing up at a CNN Town Hall in some Jordan I’s.

It’s the EclipseCross Fast & Furious Edition

I watched too much of the body cam footage. The first cops on the scene were horrible, they drew on Floyd before even identifying why they were there, he broke down in tears immediately and instead of empathy, they chose to drag him around forcefully.

I was going to say Dr. Scarab, the villain from the little remembered 80s Saturday morning cartoon Bionic Six, but Pepe the Frog is also correct.

Especially a Trooper, which isn’t even the most interesting Isuzu from that era. A pristine Amigo or VehiCROSS would get my attention more than a Trooper.

Or the Chinese Exclusion Act, which basically was “Thanks for building our vast and marvelous transcontinental railroad system...now get the fuck out!” Led to the “Driving Out” period where poor white workers became jealous and began burning property, murdering Chinese workers and driving entire communities out of…

I had to have some pretty difficult conversations with my son about recognizing anti-sematism to counter the shit he was finding on YouTube.

But that was the entire reaction to George Floyd: White people finally caring that their casual racism was harming others. See also: The Washington Redskins Redtails TBD, All the cartoons with black characters voiced by white actors, Aunt Jemima and so many other things.

“Antebellum” is a pretty word out of context. But on hearing the word, my brain immediately conjures up the first hour of Gone With The Wind, meaning white people on plantation porches in beautiful dresses being super racist.

People have so many personal reasons for moving that it’s hard to pin down. We moved from LA last year. Sure, the growing amount of 100-degree days, the hopeless homeless problem, traffic and cost of living were part of the reasons, but not solely.
