Once upon a time, when I was tending bar I had a customer who ordered a, “very, very, very dry martini.” In such cases, I would pour a little vermouth into the glass, swirl it around, and pour it out before adding the shaken or stirred gin or vodka. He seemed to approve, but for round two wanted it, “even drier.” The…

“Maybe tons of people had no idea how that word was really spelled. What if scores of writers purposely dodged segue the way you might just reconstruct a sentence when you can’t figure out how to conjugate it correctly.”

“If you are activities ... ”

whine whine whine about the 500L. It’s clearly the latest PT cruiser, OMG we all have to hate it even if we never drove one (and those who have, clearly drove a broken one in Turkey and that just doesn’t count).

Another North-South route with options to continue into Canada: The Great River Road. My only recommendation for this is to start in New Orleans and end at Itasca State Park so you can eventually walk across the Mighty Mississippi where it's knee deep.

It also skips Meteor Crater, Winslow, and the Petrified Forest for starters in Arizona alone.

#5 misses soooo much! It hits the spots, "As seen on TV," and in practically every AAA, etc., tourist guidebook. This is a HUGE country with lots more to see than what shows up in the top 20 Google hits of, "Places to see in the U.S."

“At least, not yet.” Nice ending.

By the end, they got it together and it was the car it was meant to be. Too late, though.

“Back in the day,” when Subway first appeared, the food was fresh, the bread was freshly-baked, and the original, “Subway cut,” on the bread meant you could easily load up the ingredients. Then, as the 90s progressed, the bread was increasingly stale, the portions shrunk, and they stopped doing that magical V-cut in…

You put fry sauce on fries. Ketchup? Please. Mustard is better on fries. Fry sauce belongs on fries. Even gravy is better on fries.

Got car service in Montreal in the late 90s by a man with a Fleetwood. He had supported his family owning and driving such cars and, upon his retirement, was planning a trip to California with a stop in Vegas to visit his daughter, who was a performer with whatever Cirque du Soleil show was running there. He said it…

It works just fine. No weird rolling as mentioned in the article. I even tried to get my car to do that, but it won’t. I put it in drive, it goes forward. I put it in reverse, it goes backwards. I’ve done both on steep inclines in both directions and no surprises ... reverse goes in reverse and forward goes forward.…

Mine was deleted as was the other Reply to this inquiry. Those opinions. Those disagreements.

That would be the ‘82 Ford Escort Wagon.

Had one. Loved it. No, really, loved it. I was lucky and got one not built on Monday or Friday, so the build quality wasn’t hangover fresh.

And they greatly overcharge for pourover.

So, opinions based on experiences that don’t agree with yours won’t get published? Wow.

Lyme Disease was dismissed as, “all in the head,” until the actual infectious agent and vector were identified. Lupus was pooh-poohed by doctors and many people in early stages of the disease are considered hypochondriacs until they can convince a doctor to run the blood tests that lead to a diagnosis. Chronic Fatigue…

Parallel parking in our 500L? No problem because I learned how to do this in high school with a ‘73 Catalina and Dad’s ‘70 Chrysler Newport Custom. Easier, in fact, because the 500L has the back up camera and monitor. Acceleration? It’s turbo-charged with almost-no lag, so heading out from the green light is actually…
