Totally agree about the small shop. I've been taking our vehicles to the same shop for 10 years - the owner/manager is also the service writer and he has 3 expert mechanics plus himself. We've become friends and I trust him completely - I actually do say, 'fix anything you find wrong, Steve'.

One time in Cozumel, Mexico my nephew and I were waved over by a cop driving a blue VW bug with a light rack on top. I really wanted to take a picture of but then thought the cop might take it wrong. We still laugh about that though.

I'm saddened to see the Mary D. Hume on this list. I've been aboard and saw her many times when she was working - towing logs on Puget Sound in the '70's. American Tug of Everett WA owned her then. She was the quintessential classic northwest towboat.

My brother in law was trying to find a parking spot in a crowded hotel lot. There was a mint Porsche taking up 3 parking spaces. Rob left a note that said, "sorry I accidentally hit your car. I was going to leave my contact and insurance information, but the damage looks so slight you can hardly notice it."

Fleming believed this fake news because it fit his narrow GOP ideology and was totally believable to him. This is why so many like him deny science.

This a great article. Definitely some stuff I'll use in my quest for fluent conversational Spanish. One comment about subtitles; I was watching an American action movie in Mexico that was English with Spanish subtitles. One line in the movie was, 'F*** You Ass****' and the translation was, 'Go to the devil, you bad…

Great useful series. Thanks!

Yet another extremely useful idea from LH! Just tried it this morning and found I've been cracking eggs wrong for 4 decades! Thanks

Hey - this is just a live fire drill for us. That expense would have happened anyway. And military jets crash all the time in training. Get over it.

Oops - looks like the site got 'hackered':

@DreamTheEndless: Thanks for the great tip.

@RPR: Thanks for the answer about the PDF's in Evernote. I had the same question.
