remember NIMBY? Imagine where that came from.

Not yet and hope never. My Ford gets all Edgy when it gets near a dealership.

Swiss watches are a cut above the rest. Women notice a man's accoutrements especially what's on his wrist. Here is a clip from Bond meets Vesper. Great verbal jousting. At 3:05 she comments on his watch.

I like them. Smoked octopus in a can are tasty also.

Personal thoughts on the income tax. Most individual income for the majority of Americans is produced through labor. Labor has value and a wage is given in exchange for it. In the Antebellum south, slaves worked for their employers (slave owners). The slaves' labor had great value but they...

Lots of Americans are sharing your dyspepsia today. The Byzantine reference is a bit unfair. The Byzantine empire levied a flat tax on its citizens. Something we could benefit from.

This is an engine used in the drones currently in the news. Not wanting to get into a discussion of global events. It looks to me like the engineers/manufacturers poached the specs from an early VW aircooled design. Has 50 HP and the drone has ~1600 mile range. Might be fuel injected. What...

Must be agonizing having college age children. For many of these young, vulnerable adults college is a final rite de passage from mommy/daddy to the world. While the comforting light of one fades the next blinds them. What have they done that prepares them for that?

My son has a 2016 Odessey. Just had its 100K service yesterday. Great family vehicle. Very reliable, good for long trips with kids. Only problem with the J series V6 is the VCM. I put a muzzler on his before it could become troublesome. Don't know if the newer iteration engines have this...

That's a brilliant and intrepid lady. She could have been an important scientist but a bit ahead of her time. Today her ticket to success and fame would be just claim to be a male. The scientific world would have been her physics oyster.

I don't have one but would like one. My hand held can opener is old and works poorly. I am frugal, (read) cheap and a tool that serves dual purposes would be great. Will it open a can of corn?

If it were my car at 167K and intended to keep it for a long while, just replace the battery and the alternator. Like betting place&show on a sure thing at the horse race track.

Reminds me of this connundrum. Brainzilla.com answer; 'you will hang me'.

I have one. The only people that Ford are more inconsiderate to than their customers are the mechanics that have to repair them.

There is nothing to be learned from the second kick of a mule. Mark Twain Facts.net

I bought two jugs of Idemitsu 0W-20 last year for $12 each on clearance at AZ. Got some in my Mitsubishi right now. Seems like good oil. Wouldn't pay $40 a jug.

Sorry 'bout your kitty's prospects. My cat is probably ~17 years old. Don't know for sure. Was my brother's stray. Just moved in with him one day. When he passed away she became my semi-feral house kitty. She's healthy but very elderly. We all have our own kismet.

I'd always give this fellow something and tell him it's for his pooch. IVSA Standing Committee for Animal Welfare
