To me, it’s the butt-warmers in the Wife’s Buick.

So where’s Jack Ryan when you need him?

Never an issue at our house. We had a 22-pound Tonk, which looked like a Siamese/Puma cross. Would go to Attila the Hun if he had a bit of bologna.  Visitors were just a chance to mooch. 

It might be hard to make a study, because almost every situation has it’s own story. A study requires a trend.

Flying cars... Only if GM doesn’t build the ignition switches.  ‘Cause crashing in the 3rd dimension is a lot worse than rolling to a stop.

Or Pace warehouse.

He could have said Service Merchandise.

The food was great, but their idea of what constitutes a ‘portion’ could use some work.

5th. That’s a given. Geely thumbs their nose at any and all tariffs and trade disputes, simply because every single part is made in China. Why didn’t we think of that?  Oh, we did.

True.  They can N everything, but they can’t make me like it any better.

My question is how can they go fully private if people won’t sell their stock?  If they own stock, and they’re upset about this, can’t they just not sell?  

In Germany when I was there, they had this ‘Ford Escort Chassis’, which had a hundred add-ons from pickup beds to campers. Practically every utility company had some form of it. I thought it was nice and simple, and of course, we couldn’t get it.

Looks just like my ‘66, but in way, WAY better shape.

Where to?  New Jersey?  NYC?  SoCal?  FLORIDA?   It may be weird but it’s the lesser evil.

It seems like a lot of cheap stuff went up around 40-50 years ago, at least around here.  

I often wondered about that.  Every time something with oil is threatened, the price spikes.  People talk about our ‘uuuuuge reserves’, but we’re hoarding it still.  My only guess is to buy up everyone else’s while it’s cheap, then be King of oil again.

All those picky people who talk about the ‘noise’ their tires make! Well, my car makes enough noise all on it’s own, so I don’t notice whatever the tires do. Along with the rattles from the crappy roads on my way to work, tire noise worry is way behind the fear of something falling off the car.

Agreed.  Sweden was filled with the most laid-back people my one time there.

There’s a 100-year-old bridge here in heavy use.  They said many years ago that it’s construction was ‘expensive overkill’.  Maybe we need more than ‘good enough’ again.

Couldn’t get a dryer in one.  Haven’t tried a love seat yet.  Family member has one.
