The property can be capped with clean soil before constructing a park. It’s probably a safer alternative than building housing on the site.

I’m similar in years to Mr. Sands, and it’s difficult finding a hiking companion at our age. But yeah, I understand that I can drop dead at any time on the trail.

Audi has been consistently unreliable for a long, long time.

$6,000/month for a nursing home is cheap. I couldn’t find anything for my father for under $8k. My mom took care of him until he died. My old man’s last 18 months was tough, as he became uncharacteristically belligerent in the evening (Google “sundown syndrome”), occasionally incontinent and would try and make a break…

My cousin buys the cheese ends at the supermarket daily counter at a steep discount (staff was throwing them away), shreds them and freezes them for later use.

Speaking as the former editor of a now-defunct local weekly (who broke a national story or two back in the 90s), I dig that article.

Too bad this is all coming out after the election. If local news outlets still existed, they would have investigated some of the Congressman’s tall tales before Election Day.

We have a guy who purchases salvage Nissans, rebuilds them and resells them. My neighbors have purchased 2 Maximas from him and they have been problem-free.

Depending on the severity of the rust, I’ve had my local auto body shop remove the rust and repaint. Looked good as new and lasted 5+ years.

I owned a 1989 100 Avant that was in the shop every 2 weeks once the odometer hit 65k miles. I’ve owned plenty of cars over the past half century and while Audis of this vintage looked awesome and were fun to drive, I never encountered a car that was so consistently unreliable. I was really glad to unload that POS.…

My climate control system died on my 1989 100 Avant and I found a replacement in a junkyard that did the trick. This thing should be a parts car.

My 1989 Audi 100 Avant saw its transmission die at 90k miles. I couldn’t find a used transmission because so few of these vehicles were sold in the US. Had it rebuilt. Transmission lasted another 2 weeks.

My cousin lives a few blocks south of the crash site and it has always amazed me that more tourists who stop and snap photos on the cliffs haven’t tumbled down to their deaths.

This is exactly correct. Most people don’t even know that there is a Speaker of the House, and even more people don’t care how that person is elected.

Piedmont Airlines is still around? I thought they were purchased by USAir in the 1990s.

Listen to Bernie Sanders over here spouting pinko gibberish.

People used to ask my spouse and I when we were gonna start a family. Our response was always “we’re actually gonna start TONIGHT.” That always shut down any further questions.

There are actually four legs of a triathlon: swim, bike, run and post every excruciating detail about your workout and your triathlon on social media every single day.

From the article: “[used car prices are] still about $10,000 higher than they were pre-pandemic.”

$1-2k/month gets you a studio or 1BR apt. in the Northeast. $1k/month won’t even pay for the monthly property tax bill in some municipalities.
