You have obviously never flown to Alaska where half the bin space in the winter is taken up with arctic parkas. What are you supposed to do with a jacket? Put it on the floor? I pay the money for a checked bag and it is not unreasonable to put my briefcase in the overhead. The rule should be that nothing with wheels…

I’ve been to side of the road asados in Patagonia more than a few times and they rock. Second best barbecues I’ve attended were in Romania. Bizarre collection of meats I’ve never seen anywhere else. Cevapi! 

I worked as a lawyer for a few years enforcing the Safe Drinking Water Act. I wish I had never learned half of what I learned from that job. Your best bet is either living way out in the country with a private well you test for contaminants every six months to a year or a city that uses wells, not a surface water…

I worked in a suburban fish market. I won’t buy anything but frozen fish unless I personally caught the fish or am standing on the dock when they bring it off the boat. 

Police do make mistakes, but make no mistake someone pays for it most of the time. The taxpayers of whatever governmental agency the LEO works for have to deal with the payout. It was my job to represent a governmental agency against such claims. And fuck me it took a lot of defending. I once paid out a claim within…

Just show the photos of the mangled bodies. Let them own it.

Anything with low mileage and runs is worth $7500 where I live. Do I care that it’s allegedly a show car, no. 

I don’t think so. Here’s an unrusted built one for $5750.

The history lesson best showcasing what happens when you ban abortion is Romania under Ceaucescu. All those kids grew up, became angry with communism and ultimately put a bullet in Ceaucescu’s head. His wife, Elena, arguably an even worse person, got the same treatment. The non-white demographic in the USA is already…

Whoa.... I was thinking of getting back on a suicycle, but this looks just as intriguing. 

This is an artifact. Y’all are going to be sorry in 20 years when this vehicle is the star of the show at Radwood the Aughts. Sure the battery is shot. Find a wrecked Leaf and fix it. If this was on the west coast it would be in my possession now. The only way this could be more perfect would be if it were a 2-door…

This is actually a great idea. Set it up with the mandatory shade cloth, a string of hipster lights, a grilling station, a few camp chairs, and an outdoor shower. The result is flexing for the ‘Gram as overlanders/van-lifers without all the fuss of fixing up anything for the renter. Hide a portapotty discretely out of…

2007 Subaru Impreza. Two hours was all I could take. I gave the POS away. You can fix head gaskets, but you can’t fix the seat. I tried aftermarket padding to no avail. 

Easy way to undo it all. Repeal through legislation Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803). The decision where the SCOTUS seized power in a judicial coup. Just tell them to fuck off and go back to deciding issues between states and those cases involving ambassadors as the Constitution intended. Precedent is obviously…

I lost a perjury trial* once because the investigator was smirking and shaking his head and doing stupid shit behind my back when I was at the podium cross examining witnesses. The judge took me aside after the trial and told me about it. After that I always had a paralegal sit in the back and monitor anyone I was not…

I had a rape victim show up for trial once in a low-cut blouse displaying her ample cleavage. A female paralegal somehow managed to get her covered up appropriately, but until she walked in the door to be sworn I was sweating bullets. 

I always recommend the drive from ANC to Palmer to Glenallen then Valdez with a ferry ride back to Whittier for first timers. And if you have time a side trip to McCarthy in the Wrangell St. Elias NP is pretty awesome too. I’ve been on about every road in that state including in SE (POW and Metlakatla excepted) and I…

Out here in Antivaxxistan that would sell for $10K in the morning. Note: Sioux City is in Iowa, not Idaho. 

Overlanding jumps the shark.

More time, but it’s fed time. Me... I’d rather do 2 extra years in fed custody than state. Less likely he’ll do the whole time in ad-seg too.
