$16,000 is a lot of value for two people to travel with. My camera bag weighs around 30 pounds and what’s in it isn’t worth that. When I travel by air, my camera bag is my carry-on. I also keep my meds in it. Clothes are less expensive and easier to replace, so I check a bag with those. Plus I have to check a bag…

Big deal. My grandma was annoying too. When I was 16, she wouldn’t talk to the girl I was dating and wouldn’t say why. She also called one of her daughters in law, “Barrel Ass,” but I don’t think she did that to the woman’s face. Granny wasn’t famous though, so nobody cared about my opinion of her back then, and…

No

In some aspects, you’re right.  But from where I live it takes longer to get from JFK to  EWR than it does to fly from JFK to wherever I’m going.  Therefore, I have not and never will fly to or from EWR.

I set off a bug bomb in the moving van too,  YMMV.

Great advice, but the angle isn’t critical.  You just need to leave the spout accessible so you can add liquid to the frozen bottle.

I used to be on the air in radio. Traditionally, people like that get fired at the end of a shift and not allowed back on the air. I was fired from one of those jobs with two-weeks notice. I’ve never heard of that in radio, or frankly anyplace else.  I wrote my last newscast, but had someone else read it instead of…

Don’t cosign a loan for anyone for any reason either, unless you plan to pay the entire balance yourself.

Customer loyalty? I’ve never bought two cars, let alone two cars in a row from the same dealership or salesman. I haven’t experienced any customer loyalty in car buying. Is that a significant thing? On the other hand, having owned a 72 Buick Estate wagon and a 79 Monte Carlo, I haven’t bought a new or used GM car in…

I go with the explosion-prone Pinto, not just for the explosions, but how are you supposed to eat a ice cream cone while driving when if you have to stop along the way you need two hands to get the key out of the ignition?

“it’s probably easier to take a Greyhound bus if you’re traveling domestically.”

I did say, earlier today, that if I won this prize, I’d squander it, but your list would allow me to squander it about three times, since after all taxes are paid and depending on which state you live in, you’ll wind up with a third +/- a little of what they’re saying the top prize is.

In the immortal words of Chris Rock, “I don’t approve, but I understand.”

If I have AC, it is more than anything else to make me comfortable. The strategy outlined in this article may make sense in an office building which is unoccupied at night. However, in my home, I have both central heat and AC in order to avoid having to live with uncomfortable temperatures. I hate being cold, so I am…

I accept that your mileage has varied however, in my experience, to quote Rocky the Flying Squirrel, “That trick never works.”

In the late 80's and early 90's, I worked for a government that had a police force.  Sometimes, an ex cop car would be used as pool cars for other departments.  On a business trip, I had a white Dodge Diplomat 4-door sedan with extra-wide tires and big auxiliary brake lights on the package shelf.  I drove over 200…

Best looking? Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my eye, the best looking is the 56-57 C1 (with single headlamps, not the 58-62 kind with quad lights) but not like the 53-55 where the headlights were sort of recessed under those wire baskets.  Okay, stone guards if you insist.

The idea of the website is great.  Not great, tiny print in grey on a white background.  If you’re going to go to the trouble of writing and publishing a lot of data, how about making it so the maximum number of people can read it?

My backpack is big enough for me to use it to hike the Appalachian Trail.  It won’t fit under a seat.  If it’s full, it probably won’t fit in the overhead either. 

Mobility devices? I can’t carry mine on board, because TSA insists my hiking poles go in checked luggage. I have a bad back and hips, and the poles work better than a cane for allowing me to walk for a longer period of time, before excruciating pain sets in.
