Off days, fine, but when I’m on vacation, I’m not leaving at 3:00 AM, or driving through the night. I’m on vacation!

I own a 15-year-old pick up and a 9-year-old CUV. I like cars. I don’t buy them very often because I hate the purchasing process. I will grant that the internet gives a buyer more information than was formerly available, there’s still an information imbalance there.

And here I thought Mobius Strips were cool.

A slide show of videos?  The mind boggles.  Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it.

Let’s be clear here. “The Alabama football coach-turned-senator. . .”

Depending on the quality of the stock tank and an above-ground pool, the stock tank could cost the same, or even more.

The folks at Cornell ought to know how high a fence needs to be. I saw a TV documentary once that showed a deer jumping a six-foot chain-link fence without a running start. Where did the deer do that? Cayuga Heights, a village just north of the Cornell campus.

There are lots of reasons you can stop while on the road. For instance, fuel, food, stretching your legs, bathroom breaks, sight-seeing, sleep. The rule is never stop for just one. Fuel? Bathroom break too. Lunch, take a little walk, while one person orders the food and another gets gas, etc.

I don’t know if I’d call it worst, or just lamest, but I nominate “The Wonder Years.” If he really loved her, he should have found a way to go to Paris to surprise her. When he arrived, he would have been surprised to find her living with her professor and he would then have left heart-broken.

My wife suggests that they may have forgotten to feed the hamster.

I have occasionally dreamt that I can’t sleep. How do I know? Once in a while, I’ll wake up and look at my clock. Later the same night, I’ll wake up again, look at the clock again, and find that it’s earlier than it was the first time.

My town’s Memorial-Day parade is a couple of blocks from  my house.  I walk there and forget about driving.

When my shower head dripped, it’s always been because the valve has gone south.  Have to replace its guts.  Then, it works much better.

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 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.
