I recall a time when it was illegal to have any kind of “TV screen” within view of the driver. I also recall a time when it was recommended that parents not let teens drive with the radio on because it was considered “too distracting.”

(I’ve never heard of someone working as a freelance salesperson)

Tell me about it, and I used to ride motorcycles regularly. I used to get so tired of the “potato-potato-potato” of the unmuffled Harleys more than the other street bikes.

And I’m only remotely interested in about 10 or 11 of the 38 total. Maybe as many as 13, but I’m fairly meh about three or four of them.  An equal number of the others I will see only if dragged kicking and screaming into the theater.

In much the same way that Jeremy Brett is the only Sherlock Holmes worth the name. Some of the others are entertaining in their own way, but only Brett really captures the character.

I won’t argue that because there are so many good independent pizza places near me I don’t really get the opportunity to have “least bad” or any of the “big chains.”

My ex was 5'1" tall, and I’m 5'10". We were constantly on the lookout for a step for her to stand on!

I read this and my first thought was “What? People still eat at Pizza Hut?”

The first episode I ever saw, completely on accident, was Wild Horses. It sucked me in because I knew people like that. I still know people like that. Hell, my boss’s shop is fill to overflowing with old Volkswagen parts, motorcycles, five gyro-copters, dragsters, and all manner of machine tools and stuff. He reminds…

I dive over there on occasion (I used to work in Northwest Portland) and I drive a truck.  The modification you’re talking about was mostly caused by a crummy civil engineer.  It didn’t really have anything to do with trucks, because trucks going out to Terminal 6 and all the industry out on the west side is critical…

I used to live in North Bonneville and worked in Hood River. I can confirm this statement categorically.

Exactly!  Or “Sport Utility Vehicles.”  Neither sporty, nor very utilitarian.

I was a member of REI back in the day when it actually was about real outdoors equipment. Today it’s more about outdoors themed fashion apparel than about real outdoors equipment. Or at least it was the last time I was in one a couple decades ago. The one near me closed up shop and reopened in downtown Portland nearer…

Back in the day (early 70's) Marine drive was how we in Vancouver got to the Portland International Airport. It was the fast way, anyway. My Uncle was an air traffic controller back then in Atlanta, and he used to fly in all the time and we’d go pick him up. (Air Traffic Controllers back then could fly for free if…

Portland Oregon.

Apparently they might be mistaken.

I will say that the three principals, John Cho, Daniella Pineda, and Mustafa Shakir, did what the could with the crappy writing and dialog. All three of them would have been fine in a well scripted adaptation.

My dude, if you watched some of the anime, then you are sadly deprive of it. You have to watch the whole thing. There are a few episodes you can skip, but it is a whole story that needs to be consumed. In fact there are three or even four complete concurrent stories being told. (Ed’s story is not particularly well…

New Shepard is a “space ship” in the same way that the car I drive to the beach is a “submarine.”
