I think I like it. it is better than the Subaru Brat (which was just about as functional), and better than the Pontiac Aztec (which admittedly, is a very low bar)

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
In this century one presidential election turned on the question 'Who would you rather drink a beer in the back yard with?' I cannot imagine a more meaningless reason for choosing the president of the USA. The consensus majority of voters rarely seems to driven by anything resembling an objective st...

Re: Music recommendations
The only wing mirror I have seen in decades have been on trucks and school buses. I only see them on the outside of doors. I can rarely see the 'rear mirror' on other cars because the windows are so dark I cannot even tell if there really is someone behind the driver's wheel. Never could figure out ...

Re: Music recommendations
Amazing yes. The guy cannot read. The message on the mirror says just opposite -- they are CLOSER than they appear. I have no idea what the actual title from Meatloaf is.

Re: Biden is a coward
I suppose from a certain point of view, nearly all politicians are cowards--they are all afraid, so very afraid that it dominates all their decision making. It rules what clothes they wear, what car they drive, what friends they associate with. They are all scared they will lose their next election....

Amen, BSG. Unhappily, there are breed differences, and there are individual differences. Generally, it takes a different style of training to handle English bird dogs, and Continental Bird dogs. Spaniels are not like retrievers. Hounds are from a different universe. All of the hunter breeds share so...

Yes indeed, the USofA is a nation of dog lovers. That is why we don't trust them in restaurants, are advised by experts to never leave a dog alone with a small child, by law NEVER let them off leash. And the president has German Shepherds that are all fear biters.

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
When I ride my bike in ordinary suburban traffic, I am more afraid of school buses than I am afraid of meteors. This is not reasonable. Big old T Rex was really scary, and they were all wiped out by a meteor. Very few women have ever encountered a bear. Some have. Some have seen black bears in their...

But what happened to taking the Fifth? Is that driving with an open container? In some traditions the proper response is not STFU, but Please Sir, may I have another?

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
Tomorrow is the 50th year anniversary of the Kent State Killings. Perhaps the protesting students of today view this a a reminder of what faith in the rightness of one's cause does when confronted by scared people with guns.

"visits your sin on the dog. Makes you a sociopath" Probably. But it also removes the threat to the neighbors chickens.

This is North Dakota, where much of the best pheasant hunting in North America is found. A 14 month old German Wire-Haired Pointer is not a puppy. There is a long tradition that bird hunting dogs will be 'steady to wing and shot' By 14 months, there should have been prior training and experience tha...

As far as I can tell, the objective is to end US military support for the nation of Israel. Un happily, I know of no time machine that will get the world back to 1948 to work out the break-up of the British mandate that was Palestine in a different way. I have read of nobody that has a plan to end t...
