I think most parents weren’t that interested in their kid’s day. They were told by someone once that they should ask “open questions” to get their kid to talk.

I completely agree. Spanking is not “necessary”. The problem is, most parents have no other tools to deal with their children’s behavior. When we were young parents, we had the fortune to attend a series of workshops taught by Robert MacKenzie.

My F250 maxed out at 90, foot on the floor, going downhill on straight-line I-5 in the middle of California.

Just like running out of the Focus RS head gaskets!

I have that problem all the time with my light-weight 7.3 liter turbo-diesel. Once I put a sheet of plywood in the back, smooth as a baby’s forearm ...

Very good!

And you could cross the river and visit California, Moscow, Utopia, Aberdeen, Manchester, Portsmouth.

Thanks. That explains a lot.

My address is Batavia, Ohio. What makes it sporty? Sure doesn’t feel like it!

So ... camrys are always covered?

I’m putting up with Ohio winters and sorely miss California politics and forethought.

I know, that’s why I want to upgrade! Either that, or my modified 7.3L turbo diesel from my truck.
