Have supply problems eased? I saw three mid-engined Corvettes around where I live this morning.

The Sunrite weighs about three pounds. A 20-pound cylinder of propane weighs more than 20 pounds because that’s how much propane it holds, not counting the tank. Plus, the colder it gets, the worse propane works because it doesn’t want to vaporize much below freezing.

I accept that this is true. Still, where I live, there are lots of TV ads begging people to come buy a car for a great deal. There are also a lot of direct-mail ads saying the same thing. I got one direct mailer saying the Nissan dealer could buy my vehicle and put me in a new one, while at the same time lowering my…

Some of the money does come out of thin air.  Any time you hear about the government increasing the money supply, that’s what’s happening.  In fact, there are some economists who argue the federal government could eliminate income taxes entirely if they just funded federal spending by increasing the money supply.

Cool. But if, as you suggest, people will cross-shop this with an RAV4 and a CR-V, I can’t help wondering what they plan to cram in the back of the Morgan. Besides the rear wheel, I mean.

Texas (and most other states too) did have a law against mixed-race marriages. The one in Texas was one of many to be overturned as a result of the Loving v Virginia decision of the US Supreme Court, in 1967.

There hasn’t been a Long Island Ducks hockey team for almost 50 years.  Currently, the name belongs to a minor league baseball team.

Over the years, Trebek, while pointing out he wasn’t in charge of selecting his successor, has mentioned a few people he thought might be good in the roll. If they wanted to follow Alex’s recommendations, they would have at least screen tested all of those people, but they didn’t.

It seems logical that there would be exactly the same number of horses’ heads and horses’ asses in the world. The Rand Paul and people like him come along and demonstrates that just isn’t true at all.

Back in the 70's, Lincoln Mercury used Catherine Deneuve and Farrah Fawcett to sell Mercury cars. The Monarch commercial with Catherine isn’t nearly as sexy as the one she did draped all over a Cougar. And I can’t quickly find that one for your viewing pleasure. At the time, I dropped by a Lincoln/Mercury dealer to…

There are no venomous snakes native to where I live. You should still keep an eye out because there are idiots who let harmful ones escape captivity. We do have garden snakes, and they are so difficult to see in the environment that I do manage to kill one every few years while mowing my lawn. I would never do that if…

If you’re American, and find yourself in London, they will cook the bacon crisp for you if you ask politely.  You just have to remember to ask.  It’s one of the things I like about London.

I always take pictures of my rental cars with my phone.  Haven’t had a problem yet, but it’s still a good idea to protect yourself.

Making new commercials from old ones.

Did I miss something? I don’t see a place where I can vote in today’s poll.

I always wear a seatbelt. I had belts installed in the very first car I owned, before they were required. Still, I hope this works better than it did in the first go round. I had a ‘74 Cutlass company car. The seatbelt interlock was a huge pain in the ass! Two reasons. When I get into the car, I start it first, then…

Back in the aughts, when the real estate market crashed, my bank was a little behind and offered me a HELOC for more than my house was worth at the time. I took it, of course, but never spent close to the max. I used it to re-roof and re-side the house, remodel the kitchen and baths. And I paid it off in a lot less…

Since I paid off my mortgage, I have a second savings account.  I call it my escrow account, although it isn’t really one.  Each month, I transfer enough money to it to allow me to pay property taxes, home, car and life insurance annually.

So why does a phone which no longer has an expansion slot for a micro-SD card, charge so much more than that for extra memory?
