Remember these cars? These were some of the true muscle cars.
Cars today are simple wimps compared to these. I had a 1969 Buick GS400 and that thing was pretty fast, but not like these. In 73 a friend of mine bought a Chevelle with the 454 and 4 spd transmission. That thing was extremely fast.
Did you hear about Fred? He was watching tv when this advertisement comes on talking about a gas saving device. Guaranteed to reduce fuel consumption by 10%.
So he grabs his credit card and orders.
A few days later his friend stops by to see what's going on.
Fred says I'll never have to buy gas again!
I bought 11 of those gas saving devices and now my gas tank is overflowing!
"We are committed to the safety and wellness of our workforce and are reviewing our own internal procedures after this event," the company concluded. "Counselors are available to support any employees impacted by this event."
Why would anyone need counselors? They didn't check on her for 4 days. I mean jesus h christ.
They said there was a foul odor. Faulty plumbing my ass.
I never wanted to work for a large company, I always worked for small companies. At most the companies I worked for had maybe 7 people including the owner.
Did this lady not have family? I am in contact with my family daily, maybe hers was different.
The last couple of years I have done a lot of traveling over the interstates. And I am here to tell you there are about a blue million trucks traveling these roads.
So if we slow down trucking or lose it altogether, that's a bad thing mmkay? Any price increase for fuel is only going to increase prices to the consumer. That's bad, mmkay?
Drove to town to mail a couple of bills. I don't do autopay on the internet, don't trust it. Been mailing bills for decades and never had a problem. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.
After stopping at the post office, I drove around trying to find a grocery store called Vallarta. Apparently they have a deli and I was gonna get some tacos. But the store that I thought was vallarta wasn't. Never did find it. Wound up going to burger king. And king it wasn't, but it was edible.
Right next door to that is dollar general market. So I decided to go in for a couple things. I was surprised, they usually don't have any grocery carts, cause the neighbors in the hood steal them. But today they were overflowing with carts.
What they didn't have was enough people working. I got in the checkout line, had about 20 people in line. Looked over at the selfcheckouts and they were all closed. The clerk was checking a lady out and I heard her say they had no bags. Well crap, I don't have any either, so I put my eggs back and left.
Did I tell you the price of eggs? $5.25 dozen for AA. I may do without eggs for a while. Or buy some from my neighbor.
And while I am ranting, did I tell you about batteries? My old truck was having an issue where when you turn the key to start it would click just like a dead battery. But when you go to restart it would start just fine.
Then my prndl display started acting up. I would place the truck in park and turn it off and go to get back in later, but it would not start. Wouldn't click wouldn't do anything. I looked at the prndl display and it was in R. Shifted to neutral and back to park and starts just fine. And one day the prndl display was just going crazy. By itself it would go p then r then n then d then l and return to the top and then it would stop. But where would it stop? I could have made casino bets on that. The internet says that could be caused by low voltage. That's what I'm going with.
Then the blower motor would stop, then start, then stop. I was going crazy trying to figure out the problem.
Every time I checked the battery and charging system it checked out as okay. Then one night the battery died, I replaced it and all those problems have gone away.
My daughter owns a ford escape and her battery died. Ever change the battery on one of those? Here is a video for that:
I can't carry a weapon. I get emotional real quick and it just wouldn't do to tell the judge oh i just got pissed cause they took the last box of cheerios.
If I felt I had to wear a gun everyday I lived and carried everywhere I went just to feel safe or protected. I would equate this to a life sentence not freedom in my opinion but feardome. Glad I have zero interest in anything in the USA.
Say what you will. I’ll bet no one tries to grab her in a parking lot!! Good for her. Self protection starts with the individual. Don’t rely on anyone else to protect you. It’ll be too late.
