    Should I buy a new or almost new car?

    Personally, I lean towards buying a late-model used car with as low mileage as possible, purchased from a reputable dealer you've bought from before and trust. My newest car is eight years old, but I've owned it since I bought it with only 12,000 miles on it. It now has 26,000 miles on it...

    Election Day at last in America…

    You can tell I'm old, because I can honestly remember when politicians referred to their opposition as "My distinguished opponent," or some such term. If they lost, they declared themselves to be members of "the loyal opposition." I miss those classier days...politics doesn't have to be a...

    Election Day at last in America…

    Good souls in the UK, Canada, and Australia (and elsewhere), please think of us in the U.S. as we cast presidential and congressional ballots today to literally determine the orientation and future of our country. I’m trying hard to give social rather than political commentary, but this...

    School then vs school now. A question.

    School then was a lot different for teachers than what it is now, too. Teachers once had far greater freedom and autonomy about how they taught, and many different teaching styles were accommodated. This was generally good for the students as they learned to adjust to different personalities...

    Lee Van Cleef, 1952, in Sky King

    I thought that it was totally cool that a guy could get to ride a horse, and pilot a plane! Lee Van Cleef’s later parings with Clint Eastwood were legendary…

    Approximately 1,200 Walgreens pharmacies will close nationwide

    I used to get most of my vaccinations at a local Walgreens, which had plenty of parking, was seldom busy, had a spacious pharmacy waiting area with seating, and a private vaccination room. Then they closed the only Walgreens in my area, and I was forced to go to a CVS located within a Target...

    What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

    Phantom of the Paradise is an old (1974) movie that parodies The Phantom of the Opera, 1960’s music, and the rock star production industry in general, with nods to such counterculture hits of the day as The Rocky Horror Picture Show... When a musical composer writes a “rock cantata” based on...

    Strangulation Marks on the first person to use the suicide Pod

    The suicide pods kinda resemble photon torpedo tubes on Star Trek that are sometimes used to jettison bodies into space. Maybe we could after death be shot in one like Spock was down to the Genesis planet, and get regenerated! 🖖

    Found this today---Happy Halloween

    Totally cool in any case! There’s fodder here for a paranormal show segment, for sure...but processing reality from the viewpoint of anthropomorphic animals, this came to mind…
