Understood. In the 70's I met him in a UCLA class given by Ellison on SciFi. Heinlein was one of the most diverse minded people I've met. His banter with Ellison was great and confusing. It took years to figure out the inside jokes the two exchanged. He inspired many to global thinking and personal…

Heinlein wrote a few of 'em.... I grok his work.

Well, since California has about triple the population of Ohio or Pennsylvania, we are fortunate to have less than one third the chance of tickets per capita! Speed on Cal-bro!

No, this is like surfing asphalt...

Population density tends to create more individual and societal stresses. Smaller communities result in a higher probability to 'run into' the same individuals repeatedly. I find that manners and behavior tend to be more civil and polite in these areas.

Up to 60 mm diameter tubing, don't know maximum length but here's a chair made by the thing...

Under the pilots left nut...

Stan Mott - global circumnavigation on a go-cart - 3 years 1961 to 1964

~500 hours for round-the-world flight, yet pilots will changed out every 5 - 6 days. How is this going to be non-stop in 2015?

When I had to fly international as a 6'6" professor (cheap seats - thanx, UCLA) , I'd preflight with 2 shots of tequila and 20 mgs of diazepam (DEA license - thanx, US Dep't of Justice) . Lasted 10 to 11 hours, good for non-stops from LAX to Europe and Scandinavia. No muscle cramps or unnecessary chit-chat with…

HUD for your phone. How about a steering wheel mounted keypad to enhance your texting experience?

Great! 50% more cylinders and horsepower, 1000 more pounds than a Toyobaru for the same price, what's not to love?

Cool! Will it last as long as airbag suspension systems?

Well, this truck was in Cabo. Doubt that market can support a higher-end truck. And this might look good in beige...

How about this thing? Priced right, probably sell well.

Savannah Beige. Reminds me of my 1970 Squareback.
