I would have agreed a few months ago, but I’ve seen some features in the new version of Evernote, like to do lists, that I really like now that I have figured them out.

Lost in Translation is one of my all time favorite movies. No pandemic can change that. 

Flying in coach...on Frontier. This ain’t exactly fancy.

Well, the call letters stand for Killer Chase Across LA. I guess. 

He’s under age, but I won’t tell if you don’t.

Sounds like a good reason for a longer sentence. 

Including the keys to her cell, which should, once used to lock the cell, be tossed into a very deep lake.

Same here, but I used to fly them often and they were generally fine. Nothing about them that would make me want to punch someone. 

It’s a pretty car. But last year my wife and I bought a 1 year old Hyundai Elantra with a huge infotainment screen (crystal clear backup camera), heated seats (didn’t even know it came with them until we found the buttons one day), blind spot detection, etc. etc., for just a bit over $15k. If I can get that much stuff…

All of Petroski’s books are excellent. He’s both a great writer and a great engineer. 

I live in the Triangle. I used to live in Seattle. I thus laugh about people talking about Rush Minute on I-40 here. But with Apple coming, that might stretch to an entire hour. Try to drive from Sea-Tac airport to North Seattle any time of day to understand why I find the Triangle much more tolerable. 

Fair enough. But for people who write professionally, typographical conventions do matter. 

So will—oh, never mind

I just went and checked and...whaddya know, it was turned on. So I turned it off. I will have to give it a test. 

Have you looked at the data coming out of Iowa lately? I’m guessing not. 

My money is on “no.”

Kiss was a dumb band. This is a dumb car. That said, someone will buy it. Like the douche in my neighborhood growing up who would dress like one of the members of Kiss for Halloween. Or for Tuesday. CP, by at least one order of magnitude. 

There goes my plan to drive from North Carolina to Alaska (my home state)...via Halifax. 

We bought a perfectly nice Huyndai something or other from Carmax earlier this year for $14k with only 19k on the odo, and the rest of the pretty decent warranty. It’s a great little car. There’s lots of good lightly used cars available, and if you’re worried about Other People’s Problems, I’ve had good luck with cars…
