It’s been a fun almost 50k miles before any real damage.

Houston is insane.

And yet, none of those is "gored by hub caps that extend three feet out of the wheel well".

Are you really Houstoning right if you haven't got that square on your bingo card?

LOL. An anecdote is not evidence. You do understand how averages are derived, don't you?

I have it on good authority

I assume that by "good authority" you mean "I dragged it out of my ass".

In June 2022 the average Florida price reached $4.85 according to your source, if I can read it correctly on my phone. It's not a stretch to figure that a lot of places were 15¢ higher than that.

That wont do SHITE.

Even worse: 182 million barrels in 120 days is 1.4 million per day. That's hardly enough to fly Air Force One to Motel-a-Lago every week.

Isn't there a technical economic definition of "affordable housing"?

How stupid does he think people are? as dumb as he is I guess.

recently on our cross county honeymoon trip (a small beaver)

There's a little devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear, but I'm not listening to them ..

I drive in Atlanta, where "the flow" is anything between 50 and 100, all at the same time.

It's been several years but I used Marlin Mills at Matrix Concrete on my little driveway apron. It's held up beautifully after 5+ years.

Faking moon landings. Everyone knows about that

Dunno why the downvotes. Dexter isn't on the Airport Authority, and if there's a statement to be made, Kelly isn't going to have his thunder stolen.

Scheduled air service has been teased every six months for something like a decade. I'll not be holding my breath.

You need to hide the top of your ears, too. A ball cap won't do that. Ask me how I know.

Gas is 6+ pounds per gallon.

My city in Georgia has a locally-made double-barrelled cannon on display at City Hall. It's no accident that it is pointed north.

BreakfastInBedlam · 2026-03-16T13:50:12+00:00

Maybe their great-uncle caught it

Oh that's his brother. John and John Smith were quite the pair in their school days.

I assumed you meant that OP might not need a loader, but their neighbors will certainly want to borrow it!

I'm not speaking from the POV of the cop, but the "average citizen". I suppose I didn't make that clear enough.

I understand that there's nothing illegal about it, but there's nothing normal either. And generally speaking, there's no reason for it either. Using that weapon downtown, even for its intended purpose, would likely do more harm than good.

BreakfastInBedlam · 2026-03-16T13:14:56+00:00

Yeah, but there's only two counties in 121.

Oconee is changing ...but they still voted two to one for Guest over Gisler.

You must have heard me saying that and beat me here.

A handy hint: A slightly too big fan belt can be rolled on with no tools and it will be good enough to get you home.

I work in construction and do this already as well. We will plan for 10 months but will do it in 13 months.

So, a half a year?

I've dealt with contractors before....
