As only 485 Duesenberg cars were made from 1929 to 1937...


That's a Dusey!
Great shots, always loved them but didn't so few were made

My wife, Elaine, still does that when she doesn't like the route our GPS picks!
I call her "my EPS" (Elaine Positioning Sustem).

Burma Shave went out of business in 1966!
I guess some folks still have a 58-year-old tube of it?

How do you tape a program now? What equipment do you use? I get local, network channels with my antenna. Other stuff via internet connection. ..?


Folks on this thread seem to be using DVR, Digital Video Recorder.
For most, that means paying a few extra bucks a month to their service, they may have Comcast, Spectrum, Direct TV, Frontier, You-Tube, Sling or similar, those paid services offer to "record" things for you if you pay for DVR service.

For your antenna, you could buy a stand-alone DVR. It's simliar to your VCR but no tape, just pixels on a hard-drive/SSD), like this one (or there are many others with different features):
https://us-store.tablotv.com/products/tablo?variant=44315140096298&currency=USD&utm_campaign=shop&utm_source=search&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=shoppingnonbrand_google_launchboth__&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwztOwBhD7ARIsAPDKnkCMFAy2C7MV9NYF3VQqyDmC3yf5FjvOBqY8zM-imd2ND-q2q4tEnOUaAu-wEALw_wcB

Those can be fairly easy to use and offer scheduled recordings. You can record Live TV and only the Free streaming videos on the internet (Not paid ones like Netflix).

Some smart TVs have built-in recording (like some LG TVs), I think that is only for cable or antenna, not internet.

For recording paid (like Netflix) videos on the internet, I think you'd need an SVR (Streaming video recorder software), like EaseUS or PlayOn—I don't know much about those so no link, Google it. You have to use your computer as the "DVR" and can connect your smart TV to your computer if you don't usually watch on your computer.

Or you could do what I do, LOL, and use adapters and splitters to hook up my old VCR to my cable box/antenna and to my Roku, but that's not simple, especially if I want to schedule a recording when I'm not there. And the old VCR quality is like an old tube TV, not HD. You could also use a DVR this way and get HD quality.

...What's the joke?


See the other comments, it's a joke about the song, A Horse with No Name by America (band) that was a hit in the states in the 70's. If you were a teen/young person back then when we thought it was so serious and mystical, then it's funny, because it's a silly metaphore. LOL, but still mystical to me!

Writer Dewey Bunnell said the horse is "a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place"

Wow, I thought it was a rented horse and he just didn't know its name.

A fine rare beauty! Car and photos.

I wondered why it has a radiator, surely not to cool the steam engine!
Ah, Wickepedia says to condense the steam back to water, so you don't need as much water, cool!
