I looked it up. The burn is caused by a chemical similar to the active ingredient in black pepper. There’s a protein in the venom that can cause an allergic reaction and for people who are sensitive, a single sting can cause anaphylactic shock. The third problem is bacterial infection at the injection site.

I have no reason to doubt my uncle. He likes to tell that story whenever someone doesn’t want to wear their seatbelt.

And now it’s story time. My uncle is a police officer and was called out to work a single-vehicle accident at a rural intersection. Being in Houston, the area is really flat. There was nothing but fields on all four corners. The car was upside-down in the ditch. By the time my uncle arrived, the driver had been pulled

A hole or a camera?

People like to parallel park halfway onto my lawn. I’ve had several nasty conversations over the years.

Stabilators were in use on French and German aircraft long before supersonic flight was achieved.

When your wife borrows your truck, doesn’t check the brake fluid before driving it (it has a slow leak), lets it get low enough to disable the ABS, then ends up doing donuts when she slams the brakes on a wet road. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but that was the end of the line for the old truck. What was once going to

If you can’t smell it for some reason, you could always use a spray bottle with some soapy water. If you get bubbles, you have a leak. 

After my truck died, transporting propane and gas cans were my main arguments for getting a hitch basket. Now that our Explorer is gone and the Outback’s hitch is too small for the basket, I break out the trailer to go get fuel. It’s just safer that way. 

My future wife took me to meet her family during the New Year celebration. Although she’s Hispanic, they have many of the same kinds of traditions. Upon arrival, we were fed. My future mother-in-law admonished both of us for being “too skinny.” And instead of dumplings, they indoctrinated me with menudo. Not the band,

I’ll never forget the day my friend, a commercial pilot, told me he had moved up to carrying self-loading cargo. 

I had a university student who repeatedly failed one of my classes because he was putting all of his energy into chasing his dream to become a player in the NFL. We ran the numbers. He had a better chance of getting a Ph.D. than getting into the NFL.

All the supplies to make poo are already on board at the beginning of the flight. They have to carry the fuel to carry the food and the processing plants which generate the poo, whether the poo is being held at the plant or deposited at the receptacle.

I suppose it’s better than a blowout at speed. When the right-front tire blew on my Subaru, a piece of the tire partially delaminated and the flap caught the back of the fender, tearing most of the fender off the car. The company that installed the tires put the wrong size tire on the car which led to the tire

Please put a little reflective tape on the outer corners of the basket. Those things are difficult to see at night, especially in dark parking lots. I nearly hit one on a van a few weeks ago.

Most of the biggest, positive changes in my life came about because of spur-of-the-moment or short time-frame decisions. The decision to take a year off of college, relocate to another state, and enroll in a new school happened in less than a week. The decision to go to graduate school was made during a three-hour
