I once worked for an attorney. One of his favorite things to say was: “You only have to convince one person out of 12.”

I know that Lexus is made by Toyota, but I’m surprised there’s no Lexus on the list since they have a reputation for reliability.  Is that reputation just legend?

Don’t leave your money and other stuff in your hotel room whether you have a money belt or not.

I’d love them too if someone would give them to me for free. They wouldn’t be ethical, but I’m pretty sure I’d love them.

I thought you were talking about the building. I recently tore down my 100-year-old garage, replaced it with a larger one, repaved and expanded the driveway. That ran be around $80 G’s. , including power, but not water, and without an epoxy floor or insulation. Plus it raised my property taxes significantly. If I add…

My insurance company came over to evaluate my new garage and became extremely cranky over the fact that I was rebuilding my back porch. At the time, the porch didn’t have any railings. But the door leading to the porch was locked, and you needed a key to open the door, so nobody would get hurt.

Couldn’t I get the same benefits (or even better) that staying in the corporate  hotel provides, by just working remotely?  Plus, the company wouldn’t need so much office space.  Good for them too.

I have lots of other problems with Mike Pence, but in my opinion, he did what he was supposed to do, and he probably knew as he did it that it would tank his political career.

Anyplace is no place to go off-roading in a Chevy Malibu.

I switched from a Samsung to an iPhone 13 last year. I switched because bluetooth on my hearing aids works directly on the iPhone, but needs an expensive, unreliable, easy-to-lose adaptor to use on an Android.

Geronimo overstepped and got fired. Was it the first time he overstepped? No. Was it the first time he was fired? No. One interesting thing about being air talent on radio is you can say anything at least once. TV, even live TV, is much more controlled.

understandable mistake since the article says she ran for Congress.  The article is a kind of understandable mistake too, since the lower house of the NC state legislature is also called the House of Representatives.  But I think someone who writes for this website ought to know the distinction.

My neighbor planted a young blue spruce a couple of feet from my driveway.  Don’t do that!

I presume there will be no talking in the disciplinary centers, so why fire the librarians?

Having the bottled sauces is a deal, true. But there’s still a good use for the packets too. If you’re going camping alone, with family or with a scout troop, a handful of those packets weigh a lot less than one or more bottles of sauce.

Why is it the only alien intelligence to ever attempt to meet with world leaders and nobel-prize-winning scientists was Klaatu back in 1951? All the others seem to reveal themselves to people nobody would ever believe.

Fence pliers are great for pulling staples, but they also incorporate a small hammer for driving fence staples.

Magnetic recording tape isn’t the best possible archival medium.  It’s also a lot without knowing what base the tapes were recorded on, if they were stored in good conditions, whether they’ve been played.  But they would be cool to have and if I won Mega Millions tonight, I’d consider bidding and bequeathing them to a…

Right you are. Or the actual clip.

Years ago, I used two pieces of electrical conduit put together with the connector for the purpose, each conduit bent at a right angle, and hung netting on that framework. This worked for any climbing garden plants.  The problem I had was finding netting locally that would work.  It was before the internet.  With your…
