Higher end new golf carts are available with lithium batteries. I presume they are stored under a seat as are conventional batteries. Can you imagine the situation if those light off? Puts a whole new perspective to the term “hot seat”😳

In September, I did a lot of birding, both on Long Island and in and around Cape May. Came down with a fairly severe fever toward the end of the month, that seems to be the result of a tick-born disease. Not Lyme, probably, but there are many others, and tests are underway. I’ve started taking antibiotics, which have reduced the fever and in all likelihood prevented long-term damage.

In a urgent quest to close the barn door after the cow has escaped, i’m wondering if any Hoggers have found satisfactory “anti-tick” clothing? I’m primarily concerned with pants and socks. Any that you would NOT recommend, for one reason or another?

Thanks in advance for your colllected wisdom.

I have both long and short sleeve treated shirts that, so far, have done their job. My main complaint is the fabric, though light weight does not breathe well, making it very uncomfortable to wear in hot, humid weather. Long sleeve shirt is L.L. Bean; short sleeve got on eBay. Same complaint with both shirts. Washing them is a bit pita as instructions are to wash separately and hang to dry. Thus, they don’t get washed very often. But, so what, I don’t wear them to dinner or other social activities. The long sleeve is quite comfortable in 50-60 temps. Have not yet purchased trousers due to fit issues.

A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y ??

Maybe my memory is faulty, but I thought the vowel list included “and sometimes W and Y”.

Coming into DC one afternoon on I-95, I came on a wreck of a tanker truck carrying orange juice. Literally thousands of gallons of OJ on the interstate. BIG mess.


I spent my career in DC and while commuting all those years I heard traffic reports of some amazing accidents, especially on the Capitol Beltway (rt 495). Most memorable was an 18 wheeler that overturned carrying a load of eggs, spilling the entire load across all lanes. A traffic reporter on the radio referred to the scene as the world's largest omelet.

As I posted earlier I am in possession of the bike. Included is a signed title among other paperwork.

You might contact Ebay by phone and explain it and get a copy showing the tax or contact the the Motor Vehicle Dept. and they should know that Ebay collects state tax.


Thanks. That is on my to do list. But first eBay needs to fix a Transaction screw up. Transaction was completed on June 18. About a week and a half after the auction was completed eBay canceled the transaction. According to the seller, eBay claimed he used the wrong auction category; most likely should have been eBay motors or Motorcycles. PayPal refunded the total I paid, including my CC account. Now it is 19 Jul and no "fix". I am in possession of the bike, as I arranged for shipping. Thus, I am in a quandary at the moment. The seller has received his funds, so no worry on his part. I have no illusion of getting a free motorcycle, but I want the bike - it only has 29 miles on the odometer. It cost me $903.00 to have it shipped; if I had to ship it back I would be $1806.00 out of pocket with nothing to show for it. The Quandary marches on.

I recently purchased via eBay auction a like new (2021)Honda Trail bike. This bike is in such demand that the wait time for one ordered at a Honda dealer is expected to be several months. My local Honda dealer would not even return my calls.
Since eBay now collects at time of auction sales taxes from buyers living in states that charge sales tax, I paid $348.00 tax on the winning bid price. That amount is correct for my state. My problem is how to provide my MVD with bona-fide proof of taxes paid. The only info on my eBay transaction page in reference to sales tax is "Taxes paid $348". No reference to the state. I doubt the MVD clerk will accept that info when I go to get title & tags. I have searched high and low on eBay and PaPal help with no results.
Sorry for the long explanation but I thought it necessary. My question: has anyone here who lives in a state that has a retail sales tax purchased a motor vehicle from a seller in another state via Ebay since the advent of Ebay tax collection ? If so, what proof of tax paid did you provide your MVD that was acceptable? I would really rather not pay the tax twice.

I purchased some Keurig coffee filters recently on eBay. The package arrived at the regional postal distribution center (my name for it) located for my area on Jan 2. The “arrival” tracking entry said “ALERT”: user MID needs to be registered”. No further tracking activity since. Does anyone have a clue what that means? I have sent the seller a message within the eBay message system, but awaiting for a response. I am not optimistic he would know. I do about 90% of my shopping online with most of that on eBay, so I am familiar with most USPS tracking nomenclature. During this Covid-19 and holiday shipping crunch I realize there can be errors on tracking postings, most of which are simply chronological ones. Had one recently that showed the package left the P.O followed some time later by “awaiting for receipt of package from shipper”. That was at the same P.O.

The Texas answer to that is "melt the snow and ice in Alaska and it would be the size of Rhode Island ".

I have misplaced my favorite bumper sticker, “I was not born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could”. Bought it in one of those Texas themed gift/novelty shops, I think it was at a mall on the outskirts of Houston.

The hot glue will eventually let go!!! but its easy so just do it again.
Super glue is probably better one time and done!!!


The new (at least at retail availability) glue that cures instantly when ultraviolet light is applied sounds promising. I believe it was originally developed by a dentist for repairing chipped/broken teeth. I have a couple of tooth repairs with that technology and still holding up after several years.

Answer to come, but I suspect you already know.

We have to consider the eras we wish to talk about. The original Godzilla and/or The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Of course how can we leave out Rodan or the Original King Kong. The giant ants from Them or the Blob.


If my memory is correct, the Blob was Steve McQueen`s first movie.
