Read “Degloved: Every Scar has a Story” by Adelaide Perr if you want a story about a close-to-death incident. Adelaide almost died due to a car driver being stupid and barely getting punished for it. Adelaide got laws changed, and it it also a love story.

My spouse leases a new vehicle every three years. During the Hyundai Santa Fe time, I disliked driving it at night. There are multiple point sources of light in that vehicle and between the direct and reflected light, it was very distracting.

Where is the punishment for lying on official forms by police? They flat out lied about what happened and continue to do so, so how can the public be in anyway confident that any police report is accurate at all? This should be separate and distinct from the criminal behavior officers do to suspects. There should be…

I would hope for the stroke is without speech or motor functions so incapable of writing, speaking, or dictating, but capable of hearing.

I had to clean a fan on short notice for a trip and used the small compressor to blow off as much as I could. Not as good of a clean as disassembling, but adequate.

I double the amount called for, at least.

Please read “Degloved: Every Scar has a Story” by Adelaide Perr to get the perspective of a bicyclist hit by a car and the trauma from that, the measly punishment of the driver, and what it took to get some legislation passed in the attempt to get drivers properly punished for hitting or killing riders. It is also a…

I support increases on taxes on tires which are a direct reflection of both the weight of the vehicle and the use and abuse of roads.

A co-worker, who weighed about 250+ pounds at the time told me his break-in story. When he came out to the parking lot, he saw that the door of his Accord was open. Upon getting closer he noticed that someone was laying down upside down trying to remove the radio. He proceeded to slam the door closed, very very hard…

When I bought my ‘67 VW Squareback in 1978 I purchased it as a parts car essentially. The engine heads were loose and the VW dealer where it had been traded in didn’t want to deal with the emissions testing. This meant that I had to have it inspected. The reverse lights didn’t work and I couldn’t figure out how to fix…

Republicans asked for three things to be included as part of the commission. Democrats included all three. Now Republicans don’t like it. Seems like Republicans are acting in bad faith for some reason. Why is that? Are they afraid of the truth perhaps?

“Conservatives say if you don’t give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they’ve lost all incentive because we’ve given them too much money.”

Hands down the best eggs I ever ate were prepared by a great uncle. We were getting up early for a backpacking hike with some cousins. We were teens at the time. Uncle got up early and fried up a lot of bacon in the huge cast iron pan on the wood/gas fired stove at the cabin. I think is was a 18" or larger pan. Into…

Saw one yesterday in the line ahead of us at Dairy Queen. Meh.

We keep our vehicles topped up as much as possible and get nervous when below half. Then again, we are in the dry flammable California foothills where we have to pay attention to the fire warnings, fire evacuation warnings, and since we use our Prius as a backup generator, the preventative power shut downs courtesy of…

After driving for 12 hours on Saturday from roughly Sacramento to Seattle, I can see how easily someone can make the leap to automated driving. I used the smart cruise control a lot, even when traffic slowed down for construction. The vehicle handled it all very well, including when someone cut in and the vehicle…

So, to combat “government overreach” of people violating laws and regulations, Santis is going to use his ability to overreach laws and regulations by issuing pardons? Isn’t he “the government”?

What I have yet to see covered is the other information associated with a website password. The various hints or things that are used when you forget your password. Each website I have on my master list includes about 8 pieces of data and I have yet to see a Password Manager deal with all of that extra stuff. Since I…

My spouse, an accountant, steadfastly refuses to go paperless. Each and every receipt I get at a store goes into a manila folder. They are then transferred into a Receipts or Medical plastic bag by said spouse. At tax time, days are spent going through those bags to sort out expenses. Drives me nuts. Oh, and receipts…

I forgot to include the ‘06 Prius sold at 300k miles with head gasket leaking, oil consumption, cracked windshield, clearcoat peeling, but still running. Not original HV battery.
