When my kids were in grade school, during Easter vacation, we’d drive to their grandparents place in Florida. Pick the kids up from school on Friday afternoon and drive to DC that night. the next morning, we’d take in one of tourist site in Washington. Cherry blossoms, Lincoln Memorial, etc. Then, we’d drive on to…

Have used and continue to use bath sheets since I discovered they exist. Still, when comparing the area of bath sheets v bath towels to the cost of the two, bath sheets do cost more than the difference in are suggests they should.

They’re not ideal for painting.  They do stop anything from going through, but if you should happen to step in spilled paint, you’ll track it all over the place.  Better, if you want to be ultra-safe is to use a plastic drop cloth under a cloth one.

Let’s just say that one year at the NY Auto Show, I stopped at the NY State DMV booth and checked whether the vanity license plate “REALEMON” was available. It was, but I decided that plate would kill any chance of selling the damned thing, so I passed.

“I believe it was a wise man who once said, ‘Love hurts.’”

Speaking of changing batteries, I couldn’t get the old battery out or the new battery in to my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe without a special tool that looks kind of like what they used to use to haul big blocks of ice around (only smaller and plastic). If there’s any justice in the world, when the people who design things…

Not a control really, but the battery in an old VW Bug was under the rear seat on the passenger side. I never bothered to check the level in the battery. It was, after all, a major pain in the ass to do so. You had to remove the seat cushion on the back seat. When the car wouldn’t start, I’d just add water.

“Biggs has been subjected to bad food, terrible sleeping conditions and very limited spa time. He hasn’t even been offered a private bathroom, so he can’t even shit in peace.”

If it weren’t for the fact that not getting vaccinated increases the chance for new strains of COVID to develop, I’d say let the anti-vaxers compete for this year’s Darwin Award.

I have noted, but not wondered why, women track athletes, woman’s beach volley ball players, etc., wear such skimpy costumes. I bet women’s’ beach volley ball gets higher ratings than mens’ beach volley ball does, and I bet I know why.

I don’t think animals like that should be destroyed for being animals like that. Roy Horn insisted that the tiger that mauled him not be harmed. And I think Chris Rock had it right.

I started dating my wife when she was 17. Over the next four years, we were far apart for about 18 months due to school and military service. She still has every letter I ever wrote to her. I don’t have anything she wrote to me.

Sounds race-driven to me too, but people can be dick wads about name suffixes with nothing racial involved too. I’m junior. It says so on my birth certificate. My father never went by senior, but the Army wouldn’t let me be junior unless my dad was senior, so I changed his name. My dad is dead. Has been for quite a…

US Army Basic Training.

If this thing is a death trap, that’s in keeping with the original concept.  My parents owned an original Jeepster, circa 1949-1951.  Those things were death traps too.

I’d like a Miata, but I need an extra-large, and they don’t come in that size.

Maybe, but it depends on what I have to do to prove it.

If an older male traveler can prove he has an enlarged prostate, the airline should charge the other passengers in his row so that he can have an aisle seat. After all, an afflicted customer is going to have to get out of that seat more than once on the flight.

I understand turn signals are a rarely selected dealer-installed option.

There’s an old saying:  Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.  If you can use the plane again, it’s a great landing.  Even if the plane needs some repair now, looks like a great landing to me.
