yeah- I’m thinking Adam Smith never thought that capitalism would spawn such a level of death dealing money grubbers but it kinda feels that’s really the end game of this “system”... once advertising/hype got beyond “sex sells” and into “but fear REALLY sells” it was a done deal- the lemming ending .

wait- so you’re saying all these folk are money grubbing grifters?....kinda like the fraud perpetrated by Mr. Andrew Wakefield to start all this horseshit “industry”???? goodness gracious. my stars. drat. oh drat.

I finally put in a solar power system large enough to run a “real” 110v kenmore refrigerator. “All” I had to do was remove the 50's era Servel propane powered frig that rancher dude Lee and I had likely lost a nut each bringing it into my house- back when we were much much brawnier. Those old Servels weigh in at…

it IS frustrating- my loaded 05 GMC duramax [180k miles]seems plenty strong motor and trans wise- but, living at the end of 5 miles of dirt means it gets rattled - those wonder gadgets don’t hold up ....I’ve already been into the dash once to resolder resistors that allow me to see PRNDL lights in the daytime- now the…

that green four door posing as the drummer- that’s the one I learned to drive in....freedom’s just another word for not caring how shitty your road machine is...

I can tell you- I would. Way over 10% of my construction company profits went back into my employees- from matching retirement to opening college accounts for their kids to cutting 5 figure xmas bonuses- ....  because thats what compassionate people do.  And yeah - I tip 20-30% EVERY meal.   For the same reason....…

ahhh springtime in the Rockies - when the taint of Elway Panic comes wafting onto Colfax Ave.....

liked what you wrote BUT still wanting to know: IF you had that over drive-ish gear to get that motor from banshee scream mode [ reminds me of my damn 79 suburban with the 3spd auto - as does the “boat like handling reference] could you accept the cross wind scariness?....

damn but that is good!

yeah- still thinking that out here in the rural Rockies, a hybrid will be the choice for a long while yet - range , available charge stations- maybe even heat off that tiny motor?  Using electricity to generate heat was always considered inefficient when I was building homes...  anything changing that?  

ha ha - Admit it fucker. You could not take one more of those saccharine sweet emoto pics I sent ya of cute lil coyotes out my window or “little house neath the Rockies” etc. ...Insulin related no doubt. Reverse coma. Its ok- I have no shame. My work here is done.  

Everything you say is absolutely right on.... but here’s a thing. 25+ years ago I chanced to meet a woman who had been part of one of the institutions Bundy had been in. And she had met and talked with him several times. And the part she kept hammering on was the part of his looks, demeanor and charm....how she…

wonder what SHE spanks him with.....

hmmm- if only there was some theory about natural selection that might ironically unfold here.... [and yeah- I get it re herd immunity- my area likely has under 50% vaccine rate.... ‘vaccines n guns’ is my new prepper motto] 

Coulter had to watch Pelosi dog walk HER submissive....  grrrr.....

Let’s see.....first Stormy spanked him . Next he’s Kellyanne’s bitch. Now Nancy P is dog walkin’ him......ooooh such a manly man....[Melania you are SUCH a nasty girl]

see- “conversion therapy “ works....at least for this guy....

can’t we at least hand props for a guy admitting he was NOT on his game? We skewer coaches when they don’t turn to the next option [lookin’ at you Ravens] So - guys have shitty days- so- good on McVay for having the guts to realize it and for Gurley to man up and say he was not on.

well- in addition to paying attention as others have noted....back in ‘71, I had a 63 Galaxy [convertible of course] power steering went out and i was too young/dumb/broke/high to fix it - so , for a year I drove Baltimore and Atlanta traffic just a gruntin’ and a groanin’.....i’m guessing , that besides sheer luck ,…

that is way cool! Getting old harleys to crank [without crippling myself] ranks high.... but really- I went out to the boneyard a few weeks back and reacquainted myself with my 3/4 ton 82 ford PU and did all the patient stuff I have FINALLY learned to do- including sussing out the mouse eaten vacuum lines....Not sure…
