There’s still one Boston Market left here in San Jose.  But with that said, it has literally been decades since I last ate at one.

Goddammit, I love fried potatoes.

I prefer to position my hands at 9 and 3; I can make smoother inputs that way and both my cars have the wheel spokes positioned almost perfectly for that position.

I used to brag about my ability to drive a stick shift with a cheeseburger in my left hand and a Super Big Gulp between my legs.  That was back in my 20's; now that I’m 53 I don’t think I should have been proud of that.

My wife thinks she’s a good driver because of #2. Somehow it never occurred to her that the number of auto accidents she’s been in suggest otherwise.

Here in California, all it takes for that to happen is a light drizzle.

Not 4, not 6, 5 is the perfect amount.

Two words:  situational awareness.  I wish more people had it.

It isn’t rusty enough.

That’s all fine and dandy, but will the new KLR650 survive this sort of destructive testing?

It isn’t that surprising when you consider we grow a lot of artichokes in CA.

The lead GIF is making me feel a bit nostalgic.... and aroused.

He might have gotten further if he hadn’t hit the Jack In The Box drive-thru. I don’t know about those in Houston, but every Jack I’ve been to in California has had really slow service.

You could make the argument that tooth replacements are essential to a degree. As I mentioned in my original comment, I lost an incisor. I’m not the sort to just smile all the time to start with, but now I’m really careful not to smile just because I don’t want anyone to see I’m missing a front tooth. I altho notith…

A haiku about my car....

This is not the vehicle I never knew I needed. It’s the vehicle I knew I never needed. And call that color Sunset Bronze Pearl all you want; to most of us it’s still Old Man Tan.

Some ask why.  Others ask why not.

I’m looking at about a six-month process and over $7,000 to have this incisor replaced with an implant. It starts with a root extraction (the only part of the process my dental plan covers) and a bone graft next month.

It would summon a Diet Coke.  And bourbon.

That color suits the Leaf well.  And I like the look of the black roof.
