    The Trump Card...

    I think Amy Klobuchar and Eric Swalwell are the same person.

    Open Heart surgery Tuesday

    I'm surprised the front turtle license plate and satellite dish didn't give me away. I spent several days at the beautiful and luxurious Knights Inn, where the TV is from the 80s and I think the Wi-Fi is, too, likely running off a 300 baud modem. Every time someone in the complex used a...

    Open Heart surgery Tuesday

    Wayne is one of the good ones. And I don't mean just as a mechanic, but as a person, husband, and father. Wayne (and his son, Tyler, who obviously did most of the work) replaced the rear end on my Sprinter over the weekend, finishing it up yesterday (a Sunday). Had it towed down from Michigan...

    The Fake News Depot

    That's just one article. There's a bunch of them out there, plus Twitter comments from those who lost their accounts. Having an account removed for "violating the terms of service" is a breathtakingly large blanket. Thaaaat's convenient. Notice how no one is ever told specifically, exactly...

    The Fake News Depot

    Not when the Terms of Service (and Community Guidelines) are crafted so that whatever liberals do falls within the rules, and whatever conservatives do violate the rules. Twitter's Jack Dorsey got owned huge on that one on a Joe Rogan podcast by Tim Pool a while back, and finally had to admit...

    The Fake News Depot

    White men can't jump. Black men can't swim. The Left can't meme. Memes inspire libertarian thought, freedom of thought. That's a very dangerous thing to the Left. Instagram just purged 30 of the most popular meme accounts, all of them right-leaning, with a total of more than 40 million...

    Trucker pets!

    Lots of people out here with pets. A few shippers that won't allow you in with pets, but not that many. Craziest one I've ever seen is a guy in a Ford E-350 cargo van with 5 cats. The inside of the van looked like a cross between the inside of a cat lady's house, and the inside of a gypsy...

    The Trump Card...

    Just cause I think they're funny.

    The Trump Card...

    Remember when one of Trump's campaign promises was to not be politically correct? Promise kept.

    The Trump Card...

    A different judge, an Obama appointee in San Fran, issued a neener neener ruling in opposition to the DC judge. So the asylum rules are on hold. In any case, the Democrats are getting pretty sick and tired of all the Trump winning. Remember way back, a long time ago, when Trump said the...

    Apollo 11

    One of my 5 all-time favorite movies. The movie is remarkably faithful to the book, but I still recommend reading the book. It might have been The Right Stuff, but I think it was Carrying the Fire (been a while since I've read either), where a funny story was related from flight testing, and...

    Apollo 11

    I was born 21 days before Sputnik, so I really don't remember a time without space travel. I was transfixed by Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. I cannot recommend too highly Carrying the Fire, by Michael Collins.

    Indiana Closing 6 rest areas

    That creates a new problem. You now have to spend a really lot of money to give revenues to state governments that now goes to local governments, in order to cannibalize your exit location for the rest area location, and you have to staff and manage a second location. The relevant clause of...

    Indiana Closing 6 rest areas

    Makes sense to me, but the business owners at the exits pitch a fit.

    Berkeley, CA Eliminates Manholes

    Manholes like these no longer exist in Berkeley, CA. They have all been replaced with Maintenance Holes. See? You're not even surprised by this crap anymore, are you?

    Fuel Tax Rate Increase in Illinois

    July 1 in Ohio the tax went up.

    Offsetting the cost of #VanLife

    Something else that should be mentioned... If the Gross Combined Weight Rating of the van and the trailer is more than 10,000 pounds, you're a Commercial Motor Vehicle. That means logging, scaling, medical card, the whole bit.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    There's a lot to unpack here. Oh, my goodness.

    The Trump Card...

    At least Biden a taking credit for the economy. :mask: I almost feel sorry for whenever succeeds Trump. They're gonna be boring. If it wasn't for Trump, almost none of the current Dem candidates would be boring, but all of them are.

    The Trump Card...

    I laughed when he said it. Figured he read "all ports" as" airports."
