Up home in SE Mass (Foxboro/Attleboro), you always make sure to give plenty of space to a vehicle with Rhode Island tags. If you live in Rhode Island, you give plenty of space to a vehicle with Mass tags.

When I lived there, I noticed a lot of folks would pass traffic jams in the breakdown lane or on the shoulder. In San Antonio, you can pick out a Houston transplant from this behavior alone.

In my frequent visits to Aviano AB in Italy 20 years ago, I confirmed that the phrase “traffic laws are really just suggestions” is accurate as hell.

Traveled to Scott AFB 4 times a year via Lambert Field. Can confirm, though it wasn’t enough for me to drive over at least twice per visit to Delmar Blvd to patronize Schafly’s and Blueberry Hill. Actually saw Chuck Berry perform in the basement one night at BB Hil.

a mysterious highway slowdown only for it to turn out to be because various drivers decided that they had to slow down and look at that bag on the side of the road

Those companies that provide vintage cars to movie and TV studios charge several hundred dollars a day to the production companies. Probably a worthwhile investment for one of those firms.

I’ve noticed when you shrink the screen down to see all on one page, the pics of the cars don’t download, either. I guess G/O figured out that too many people were doing that and robbing them of their rightful…

Torch, you are pretty fly for a white guy.

I hate leaving my house anymore.

I thought there were armed Federal flight marshals on all flights starting after 9/11, but upon further reflection, there would have to be a whole metric fuckton of them in order for one to be on each flight every day.

“Camel jockey” is the least offensive of a plethora of Arabic/Muslim/Middle Easterner/Afghan racial slurs I’ve heard used by various military members in my nearly 50 years in and around the DoD (dependent/active duty/civil service.

Freiburger and Finnegan and Dulcich come to mind.

Spent six weeks at UTEP dorms while attending UT geology field camp in the EP area, summer 1988. Those streetcars would have been damn handy to get from the campus to the border for cross-border sleazery and debauchery, instead of my buddy’s ratty-ass diesel Rabbit.
