I would add:

Having lived in both the North and the South, I see the biggest difference is the social acceptance of casual racism is higher in the South than in the North. In the North, if you express overt racism, most White people will not agree with you, and perhaps actively discourage you from expressing such. In the South,…

My store has it, too. Means avoiding the Walking Dead zombies pushing pickup trolleys in the store. I tried it once, and spent 1/2 hour waiting in 95 deg sun, while two overworked midget zombies pretended to load orders into cars, at the pickup point.

Black Friday means all the Crazy People are at the Mall, so I can go Grocery shopping again. For the last week the Crazy People have been at the Grocery store, wailing and moaning that Thanksgiving is Thursday and they are not ready.

I always loved Gene Tierney and her movies, but did not know why. I found out she had been on the cover of “Life” magazine the week I was born. Early imprinting.

I have a Ford CMax hybrid, and they have chosen to put the battery in an obvious place, in the rear end, between the wheels, where the spare tire usually is. I have an air compressor and a can of flat fix under the passenger seat instead.

After you eat a pizza at Pequod’s, go West a couple of blocks to the Forest Preserve, with walking and biking trails along the North Branch of the Chicago River. Either walk South to a large meadow full of wild flowers, or North to Linne Woods, then across the bridge, and West to a restored prairie. Horses are also…

My grocery store, Kroger, has detailed maps and markers on the floors for a pick and click shopping system, where shambling zombies roam the store and pick orders entered online. These orders are picked up by live humans at a dock at the back corner of the store. So far, I do not think any customers have been eaten by…

My contribution is to label cable ends with labels that tell where the OTHER end of the cable goes. The cable in the printer is obviously attached to the printer, but it should say USB, Left edge to tell where the cable plugs inta on the computer. Conversely, the cable plugged inta the USB port on the left edge should…

I had a Subaru 1600 in the early ‘80s and loved it. It had the flat four and the finest 5 speed trans ever made. It was front wheel drive, and had low speed oversteer that allowed it to bend around city corners at 20 mph. It also parked extremely well.

I live in Ky, which does not have an Ikea, because the population density is too low. I have to drive 90 miles to Cincinnati to shop at one. I always get lost in Cincy, since I am not familiar with the place.

I am a former Chicagoan, and I remember these women being arrested, in about 1971 ? They were using an appartment in my old neighborhood for procedures. I don’t know what happened after that, I think Roe made it moot.

The reason that TI graphing calculators survived, despite being quite obsolete, was that they were approved for use on SAT and ACT tests. Any other calculators were not allowed because they could be used to store answers, and break security of the tests.

Bring carrots !

When I moved here, I got a new cell phone number that was the same as a bank in Memphis Tenn’s credit card processing, with a different area code. If I left my phone on, I would get calls at 2 or 3 am, when the bars and restaurants closed, from some poor schmuck who could not close for the night because the credit…

Only during Lent. On Fridays.

I will be taking my wife, a woman, to the dentist, who is also a women. Strike not working, here.

When I wash my pillows, I have to squeeze/wring water out of them by hand before I put them in the dryer. They hold a lot of water and take forever to dry without this.

If the engine is spinning while off, when coasting, by a locked-up torque converter, the valves must be held open, and the engine is still pumping air, without any fuel from the injectors ? So there are friction and viscosity losses from the air moving through the engine ?

Yeah, but the ones that are left are better Christians. Dumber, but better Christians. Been that way for over a hundred years. See the results.
