Too much tech going into cars even for a tech-oriented guy like me. I'm wondering if I swerve to avoid one of our infamous Michigan potholes at 70 mph if the car will swerve itself back and drive straight into it?

"...and I urge you to treat it with the seriousness it deserves."
That shouldn't be a problem.

And this little journey would not be complete without mentioning trying to write cursive with a fountain pen! Collectively, I think it made us more resilient and better problem solvers.
Apparently that won't be a problem since both fountain pens and cursive writing are going the way of the dinosaurs.
And I can still remember in the second grade at a Catholic school having my left hand smacked by a ruler-wielding nun to try to get me to write with my right hand. That, along with several other things, didn't work.
My motto's always been "Left is right".
Well, except for politics...social mores...what side of the road to drive on...swinging a golf club...using scissors...

Civil War? To a true Southerner it was the War of Northern Aggression. The Confederates had no intention of taking over the existing government in Washington, pretty much the definition of 'civil war'. The truism that the victor gets to write the history books has never been more to the point.

Tornadoes, hurricanes, frigid winters, sweltering summers, floods, rampaging forest fires, earthquakes...the list goes on and we have them all on this side of the pond. But at least we don't have to put up with royalty.

Thank you for this reminder in time to reflect on the event before the anniversary date. As someone mentioned already, too many have forgotten.
I watched this video twice today. The first time I was in a situation where I needed to watch it without sound, the second time with. As nice, maybe even appropriate, as the singing is, the video had more impact for me as I watched in silence.

Nice neighborhood. The middle sign on the fence warns that there are guard dogs on duty.

Looks almost as ridiculous as some of those "bee-stung" lip jobs that some women get.

If you get a chance, watch a tv series called Mega Food Season 1, I saw it on Netflix, and watch what goes into preparing food for a week for the largest cruise ship. I'm surprised the outbreaks don't happen more often.

Don't know about the dogs so much, but what you're most likely to see in commercials today are strong, empowered women buying, saying, doing whatever and a docile, milk-toast man trying to keep up. No agenda there, is there?
