What kind of crazy individual would come up with such an inane idea?

Correct. This also extends to Quiet Zones (where the trains are not allowed to blow their horns). Not terribly long ago, a local town or city could pass an ordinance forbiding the use of train horns in say city limits. Now, they have to meet a minimum standard (gates, lights, etc) at the crossing to meet a national…

I’ll never forget having to swerve out of the way of a recliner in the middle of the highway lane on a crowded holiday weekend. I think that was the most intense driving dynamics my old Saturn had ever endured, and it certainly got my adrenaline moving. The call then to State Patrol was equaly interesting.
“911 what’s…

Seriously tho, I’d donate to a continuation via animation.

The HT-900 fan is very nice. I bought one earlier this summer for my desk at work. On low it’s not too loud and helps with general “white noise”, helping me focus. On low it’s plenty of air movement sitting on my desk to keep me cool until the air conditioner in the office gets fixed.

There is only one bit of gear I recommend to everyone I talk to about kids, and that is the bag. I gave one to my brother in law a few years ago as a sort of joke gift, but he raved about it. When another friend was having their first, I did the same, and he loved it. So, when our little buddy was coming, I picked one…

I remember a push-button handle on my parent’s late-80's Suburban, and I think it lasted until the next redesign.

I did a couple turkey breasts in the smoker, and froze most of them. Super easy to use for meals, I know what went in them, how they were cooked, etc.
I used Traeger’s brine recipe this time. Turned out well, but I’m going to use perhaps something other than apple wood or a mix of apple+something else next to give the…

For many years I had nearly yearly visits to the emergency room for something or another.

Cutting paper in class, the paper tore and the scissors stabbed me in my hand. 5 stitches.
I was helping my brother and dad clean up some brush, and stepped straight on a rake cartoon style with my bare foot. I didn’t get hit in…

I need to rewatch Scrubs again soon.

I haven’t waited in line for a movie since the first X-Men movie came out. The rest I waited patiently or pre-purchased tickets.
I will though annually stand in line for beer with a crowd of strangers in November for hours. I’ve had the full gambit of weather for this release: mildly cold, snow storm, freezing rain,…

It’s mighty dusty in here this afternoon...

Didn’t he hand the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus?

I blanked one out of my memory. My shoulder hurts thinking of it.

Sure, he said he was going back in time to grab cheap beef, but what he was really doing was sequestering carbon and selling off carbon credits on the black market.
Duh.

We did something similar on our house years ago, but mounted wheels to the bottom so the whole assembly could be rolled out of the way when we needed to access things.

So, they only went half Poochie on her. Got it.

Curious, it still uses rails in the pavement. In Milwaukee, they are currently working building out a streetcar system (as have others like Atlanta, Portland, etc). Even still, they are relocating utilities along the route, which is still incredibly expensive, so it looks like it won’t get around that aspect.

In some…

I know when my Mini grenaded reverse, the only place we could find a transmission was from BMW direct at the time. Thank God I bought the extended warranty from the dealer (bought used) - it paid for itself in one repair. $3500 for the trans and replacement.

It’s quirks like that keeping me from buying a cheap one used…

Now that I’m seeing them hit lower dollar ranges on Craigslist, I keep wanting to replace the one that got totaled in a snow storm. I still miss that car.
