I realize it’s your choice, but having done it, I can tell you, it’s so worth it.

The risks are massively low, for one thing, especially with reputable practitioners, and for another thing, the relief from especially poor vision can be quite the life-changer. 

And just like painting, the prep time far exceeds that actual action time. They make crack filling seem like a quick and easy thing. Nah, that takes prep time for each inch of crack to make sure the filler actually has somewhere to go. All I see in commercial work is quick dump of filler occasionally actually hitting…

This would be a great article to run in the July.  In the northern half of the US you can’t even buy seal coating this time of year.  It’s a seasonal product

Good point on maintenance at the end of the season. Even better is wintertime. Your local repair shop would appreciate some business over the winter when work is slim.

Where I live (a small town near Sedona) the regional economy is driven by tourism. The industry is suffering from a lack of employees eager to return to crappy, low paid hotel and restaurant jobs. The common complaint is "nobody wants to work!" Not so. They just don't want to work for *you*. Having spent years in the…

THIS!

Even his name says, “I’ll have a beer.”

I found a DVD copy of Mitchell at a rest stop god knows where for $1 and had to buy it. It was in one of the flat DVD clamshell cases that reeks of public domain. When I came back to the car with a bag in my hand my wife looked at me with the “What the hell did you get?” look every husband is familiar with. I pulled…

A fine way to test for a life partner.

BABY OIL?!?!? AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

I had a VHS copy of the MST3k “Mitchell” release and ran it by three women I dated in the 90s. I’ve been with the one who laughed at it the most for almost 20 years. mmmmmmMITCHELL!

For years I assumed that Mitchell was a TV movie, maybe a pilot for a series that never got off the ground. I was shocked to learn recently that it was an actual theatrical release, filmed in 1.85:1 and rated R. You can watch the whole uncut movie for free if you have Amazon Prime, including John Saxon’s pretty…

Mitchell (MITCHELL!!) is truly not just one of the best episodes of MST3K but one of the best episodes of anything I’ve ever seen.

Mitchell! This to me will always be the absolute height of MST3K

By the quart!

Hey Mitchell how do you like your scotch?

I hold that Mitchell is a work of (probably unintentional) comedy genius. Joe Don Baker’s hero is deeply unlikable and dim-witted, seeming to blunder into solutions through accident rather than actual crime solving. (Although this might also be the result of the movie’s being heavily edited to fit MST3K’s running…
