You’ve missed my point. They’ve done that as a part of the US, largely on the backs of US technology firms. Those firms aren’t staying in CA in the event of secession.

Aston Martin Vantage, a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Mercedes B180, an Audi R8, an Audi R5, and a Porsche 911

This is a fascinating law school hypothetical, but I disagree with the analysis so far.

It sounds like it was an emergency cut off that was not actually in the cockpit within reach of the pilot, as well as being on the floor possibly under a seat (extrapolating here as it sounds like it would have to be if a seat belt somehow hit it.) I imagine an engine out event escalates much more quickly in a…

I love a good Assateague story. I used to take my CJ7 there almost every weekend in the early 90s. My girl and I would drive over from Salisbury and sleep in the back...all the rangers wanted to see was a surf rod in a holder to leave you alone overnight. We would get up and surf before the drive beach got crowded.…

You need a comfort animal.

Where’s the story about trying the flush a peacock down the toilet?

Pebbles will live on forever...
