The first sentence was the most interesting thing in this whole piece.

If you use a computer every day at work, tread lightly. We can read your email. Or send an embarrassing one on your behalf to the entire office. “Ferdinand is bringing in doughnuts tomorrow! That’s nice of him!”

Race #1 was like a Formula 1 race, this was more like NASCAR.

18,000 Quatloos!

Every form you will ever fill out will not have room for both middle names, so you leave them out, and then what have you actually accomplished? My wife had that issue. Some systems even made the second middle name the last name, so she became Alice Crawley-Grantham (to borrow names from Downton Abbey!).

There’s a HUD right above the steering wheel that shows the speed.

And the brake-checker drove off after causing the crash. Is that legal if their car was not contacted?

Why is Peter Cushing floating in the sky on the cover of that book?

I’m on the Toyota market research email list. I got a recent survey asking about tech gadgets and who should be installing the software. My answers were all “Let the phone producers do it”. There’s gotta be a hard drive that can be swapped to go from Apple to Google to Windows on a nav/infotainment system.

Quarterback Press Conferencing 101:

Ah, the old (Article from 2007) Sudbury nickel plant. The Sudbury plant was there before Toyota even knew what a what a hybrid car was! NASA was there in 1968. That’s still the Prius’s fault??

“Don’t be the guy who wears basketball shoes, cross-training shoes, running shoes or any athletic shoes with jeans cargo pants or khakis.”

Most of the mainstream “athletic shoe” manufacturers seem to think that basketball and tennis isn’t played by anyone with wide feet. They do running shoes in wide (Check out Nike Pegasus 4E for a super comfy shoe!). Asics, Brooks and Saucony all do wide for various ‘technical’ running shoes, and yes, they do look a…

Do you want them “To go”?

None more black.

I actually manage to hang onto pens, so this Cross ATX is my go to. More useable than the ‘regular’ Cross Century, which is too skinny to be used to write anything beyond my signature. $34 on Amazon.

We do some of that of THIS side of the Atlantic. Gadsby’s Tavern, Alexandria, VA, every August. Proper 1800’s English Country Dancing!
