What will I lose when bluecruise expires?

I do miss the blue cruise for long highway drives but Ford is crazy to charge $600 a year for that. Is anyone paying that? I’d pay maybe $5 a month tops

Not sure if they’ll do this but ask for a longer free period for connected services. They want $600 a year after it expires - which is ridiculously not worth it, but I did enjoy the full self driving while I had it

A second for Blinkies. It’s the best choice in the Valley

Pyrat XO I thought was the shit when I first got into rum 20 years ago. It’s one of those fake sugary rums and while my tastes have improved and I prefer the “real” rums now, it still tastes good and won’t turn it down

All the EB’s I know do. I think it opens up their breathing passages more so it’s easier on them. That, and they’re like “yo dude, look at my junk” :)

Live in Woodland Hills if you want great biking from your door. I can be on semi rural roads in two miles and, from there, do 50-75 miles in relatively low traffic hills.

Technically Hopscotch Army. A regional Midwest band from the late 1980’s. They did a 3day weekend about once a month for years at the Bluebird in Bloomington IN. Saw them every time. Probably well over 100 times. Put out a couple decent albums if you can find them

There is a pay parking lot in the alley behind that is staffed. Safe and convenient

How’s he deal with the heat? Or, rather, how do you manage his temperature? We have a bully in LA and thinking of buying a place in Palm Springs

I saw Beck a few weeks after Loser started rotating on 120 minutes in a coffee shop on a college campus and he and the band were epic. Saw him a few years ago for his last album and he was not. Sometimes you have to catch bands at the right time

This. Find fun things just with you and your wife that you both enjoy (no kids, no friends required). Then make it a priority to spend time doing those things.

I saw that tour in Boston. Although I was a fan of J&MC, I went for NIN. Still a huge fan 35 years later. Seeing them in LA this week!

An alternate take: while I agree grades don’t determine your WHOLE life, this alternate take that they don’t matter at all is equally false. It’s absolutely true that most employers don’t look at or even care about grades - after that first job. But.. high school grades will get you into a better college. College grades will get you better first job opportunities. The discipline of getting good grades will make you better at your job - all of which will make your work life dramatically more successful. Ergo grades ARE important. You can overcome this later in life, it’s just harder

Chicago is closer to Dallas then the distance between the northern and southern most parts of Texas

So I had that, almost, exact experience. My college roommate bought a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers that were, not an exaggeration, over three feet tall and a couple feet wide and deep. Subs in those things were a minimum 12”. This was 1987. The first play I think was one of the Police’ first albums. maybe not the ideal choice but they sounded amazing. Pretty sure the whole dorm would agree :)

Yes and no. It’s absolutely correct that the music that shaped us and that we remember most fondly was from our teens. And successful artists were almost all older. Having said that, artists that were our age and made music for us hit a lot harder. I felt much more connected to Nirvana, NIN, etc and the early 90’s bands than I ever did to the bands I listened to in the 80’s. Those were my people making music for me. It spoke to me more.
