I think I must have died in a car accident in a past life. I am the most nervous driver alive--when someone else is driving. Now, put me in my drag racing machine on the West Side Highway, and watch out! (I used to drive my 72 Chevelle with the slant six in the city back in the 80s)

I have yet to successfully find something using those music identifiers, but probably that's because I'm always looking for something too obscure.

Just another day in the TACO truck.

To make more of the content visible, as opposed to being blocked behind the controls. Won’t know if that will make the controls harder to find until trying the real thing, I suppose.

More lack of planning by the administration. This deployment is all for show….another TrumPotemkin village…. https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/national-guard-california-photos-20368334.php

Bills are thousands of pages. I don't think anyone actually reads them.

@Nina said in Joann is closing: I'm not sure if the change has to do with the rise of cheap clothing, fast fashion, or just lack of time. All the above, I suspect. And more... I wonder if it's still taught in high school? When I was in high school girls and boys could take home-ec class where sewing and cooking were taught. There was shop, which boys and girls could take that taught basic woodworking and metalworking. We even had drafting classes. In elementary school we were taught how to write cursive. Having experienced these classes growing up it makes me sad to think that some young people don't have the opportunity. I made Christmas stockings for my siblings and a neck tie (70s bright colors) for myself. It was fun and extended school learning beyond the boundaries of solitary studying.

It was a very good story. Thoroughly enjoyed it

It's been fun, but I'm concerned that this gives Trump another lever to consolidate his base. If the GOP splinters further because of this, it could be a big problem for them. Commence the strong-arm tactics!

I like the house other than its size. I'm not a fan of huge houses. The decor is definitely not my style. The surroundings are lovely.

Some cats have to be wrapped in towels during their vet visits too…to prevent injuries to humans.

LOL Good one

Someone must want to sell. I noticed the price was reduced by $250K. That being said, It's way too austere for me. There are a few dollars sitting in that living room in those rows of Barcelona-style chairs. Big Al

@RealPlayer said in Coffee table books: It’s a relief from all the scrolling I do to just relax into page after page of these lovely images and helpful text. Same here! I have a bunch of coffee table books I look at again and again. This one was on the coffee table up in Wisconsin. I brought it home when we sold the house, and every time I see i on the coffee table here I remember all the good times we had in our vacation home.
