What’s funny is that on my iPad, I have none of the problems I keep seeing people complain about. Sure, Kinja is its usual temperamental self, but no videos screaming at me, etc.

Driving slow is fun in a convertible. Or a Jeep.

The more I learn about how fallible senses and memory are, it’s astonishing civilization works at all.

Precision without accuracy. See also: people who refer to EST all year long.

Citation? Apostrophe has indicated possession for as long as I’ve been alive, which is almost (sigh) half a century.

Anyone who doesn’t want to spend the money to buy enough to spread across multiple cars? Anyone who occasionally uses a big “wagon” to haul larger items? Anyone who has just one vehicle and needs to sometimes carry friends in addition to children?

He’s still alive and writing. I just bought his latest.

That series of series of books revealed to me I’ll never fully understand people the way Donaldson does. And never be an author.

Except for those poor suckers in the last row.

I’m fond of letting the Jeep do the work if it can. More so on the downhill, where I can avoid both brakes and gas.

Usually reclining fully imposes significantly upon the person behind you. Hopefully the added leg room here helps, but the laptop tray is still often a problem.

Perforce. 

Am I correct in assuming FIVA was founded in France, the same country that feels it can centrally manage all changes to the language?
