Yep, agreed. I think I’ll listen to “Rhayader Goes to Town”. ;)

It was true in Wisconsin in the 80s, at least if you weren’t a Wisconsin resident. Your choices were to pay the state trooper with a credit card, or have him follow you to the station where they’d give you a receipt for cash. I took what was behind door #1.

I’m not sure about California, but in the state where I live, that’s completely true. The waiver doesn’t mean nothing, but almost so.

A blasting machine, to set of the high explosives I use to explosive-form the cheese, crust and pan in one swell foop!

There’s a member of my Facebook first-degree connections whom I met on Backpage, in a section recently targeted for social condemnation. And yes, really.

I don’t think my Capri gears had a plastic piece in the middle, but yeah, very similar.

The teeth were, but it probably had a steel center. That’s the way my timing gears were in my ‘77 Capri II (a German one, not a Mercury).

Your understanding of chain stretch is spot-on. Wear of the chain itself (plus what it’s attached to) make the chain loosen with time - it doesn’t really get longer.

Only the one in Texas. Frisco, TX.

These are very common in the Middle East, where they don’t want to pay for your air conditioning when you’re not there. I take an envelope, fold it several times, and stick it in the slot. So far, this has worked 100% of the time.

Impressive. Denali requires a rare clear day there; I’ve missed it due to clouds several times.

Kind of. I think technically they changed time zones, but yeah - same effect.

Sounds like you want to do away with time changes, not DST.

It is Standard time that should be abolished, leaving perma-DST. But other than that (lol) I agree with you!

What we do is actually required by law in Canada, the States, and just about every other country. If you enter a country, and you are a citizen of that country, you are required to present your identification *from that country*. There ARE countries where doing otherwise is a serious offense; luckily, neither Canada…

Oh yes, they can shut down the interstates due to snow; in fact, there are large gates around here at every freeway entrance to keep yokels off when they’re closed.

“Hippie” trail, please. But hey, you spelled “Kombi” right. And my head was full of zombie a lot back when I had a Kombi.

My wife and daughter are dual US-Canadian citizens, and there are plenty more in our family. Our policy is to *never* say that you are a dual citizen - if you are entering the US, present US identification and (correctly) state that you are a US citizen. When going to Canada, present Canadian credentials and (again…

Ah yes, Google Pay. Sadly, my Android phone (Moto G5 plus) has no NFC terminal. The US version has none. *gasp*

Yes, this. I walk the dog and then run about two miles in the morning. It definitely helps with focus, even when one then drives to a very-not-at-home office.
