If you’re going to  misspell Ralph Nader’s name, at least if you spelled it “Nadir” it would be a word in English.  I know it means swim in Spanish.

First we hated slide shows. Now, we can hate slideshows of videos. Ain’t progress wonderful?

51 Ford tractor.  It had a 4-speed!  But I was small enough that I had to stand up to depress the clutch.

Beauty is absolutely in the eye of the beholder, but I can’t call any Lexus beautiful as long as it’s burdened with that front end.

Regarding gate-checking bags—My carry-on luggage is my camera back pack. It contains my laptop, all of my camera gear (that’s a lot of stuff) and my diabetes medicines. All of that stuff is expensive, small, easy to steal, easy to fence and hard to replace at my destination. It also contains at last count 13…

I’ve given up wishing people dead, because as far as I can see, it doesn’t speed the process at all.

I learned to drive on an old Ford tractor when I was around 10-years old. At that time I had to stand up to depress the clutch.

In the 80's, I used to drive between NY and Florida on I-95 pretty regularly. Whenever there was a tie up with a long line of cars going well below the speed limit, the lead car in that line was always a Chevette or a T-1000! POS.

How about just a little situational awareness?  I didn’t drive a car the wrong way down a one-way street when GPS told me to do that, even though it was foggy at the time.

Even if the former president is as rich as he says he is, if everyone he has ever been reported to abuse in any way (not just sexually) received a damage award from the courts, could he afford it?

Texas congressman Keith Self after the most recent mall shooting, criticized those people saying thoughts and prayers aren’t enough.  But, those people who did criticize thoughts and prayers are correct.  Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough.  What we need now is bullet-proof thoughts and prayers.

It’s good that I can cram a bunch of stuff in a Miata.  However, I can’t cram me in a Miata, so as much as I’d like one, it’s a hard pass.

When my wife and I were first dating, she used to pretend to like stuff like baseball games and car shows.  She doesn’t pretend about those things anymore.  I get to go to those by myself.

If you wish to be pedantic (and I frequently do), I think you meant unintelligible, rather than illegible.

Having just returned from my fifth skin-cancer biopsy in a year (haven’t gotten the results yet), if your kids want to go back inside, let them.  Everything in moderation may be true, but too much sunshine hasn’t been good for me, and it’s probably not good for you either.

My house is paid off.  I have a six-figure income.  I can’t conceive of buying an average new car at $48,008.

I used to work for the government’s Department of Redundancy Department.  Nevertheless, three commenters beat me to it.

I’ve heard of Kodak, but I haven’t been to Rochester and can’t speak to recovery since then. The saddest thing about that is Kodak invented digital photography and decided to stick to film.

While I wouldn’t want to live in Burlington or Rochester in the winter, I have lived in upstate NY (not Rochester) and visited Burlington on many occasions. The parts of Burlington I’ve been to were quite nice.

I wore ear plugs, not earbuds when I saw the Blue Man Group a few years ago. The show was good, but I highly recommend the plugs.
