Thanks for making me feel really really old. Now get off my lawn.

Seen it. Don’t care. It’s not the one and only Batmobile.

This is the superhero car. The best car that is a superhero.

There’s only one Batman. There’s only one Batmobile.

Smart urban planning makes that possible. I’ve walked from Centrum to farms. Damn socialists get it right again.

They have to be on the road. Farmers need to move their equipment between fields and barn. I need to eat. No farmers no food.

I keep the rear brake light switch on my bike set high and the brake a bit low, so that the pedal triggers the light before the brake comes on. That way I can give a slowdown signal when I need. I’m not sure I’d want an automatic device on car or bike.

Does this type of article remind anyone else of the stuff John Lyle wrote in the Heinlein novela If this goes on ?

Na, not always. I had some of the best tamales I’ve eaten from the tamale lady in the garden @ Zeitgiest in SF one night, and they were large and individual. One chicken, one pork. Delicious.

Right? Buncha scaredy cats.

The place is a closed course, and the time is when you rented it.

Not just the two door. My brown 5 speed wagon has 205K miles on it, and everything, yes everything works. Oh, wait, that’s not what you meant by ‘aged well.’ Never mind.

Ah, you misunderstand. I didn’t say I liked paying taxes, or that I think I get good value for dollar. What we have here is what you get when you have 4.7% of the world footing the bill for 37% of the world total war spending. I’d love to get more of what I want and pay less for it. But to imagine a civilization where…

Civilization comes from magic randian pixie dust, does it?

Name a civilization that didn’t have taxes. I’ll wait.

The return road is just a bit rough.

Taxes are the price of civilization.

A brake bleeder is $0.25 worth of hose and buddy.

..and that’s why I’m backing Bernie Sanders for President. He hasn’t taken any corporate money. No superpacs either. He’s never run a negative add. You can say what you like but you can’t say he’s been bought. Also, he’s more for veterans than defence contractors.

Nah, they had a pole or two, and were almost competitive.
