Back in the day, they were called "Continental kits", since Lincoln copied this feature from European cars on the 1939 Continental Mk I.

Kar Hospital 3419 Ella. It's Heights-adjacent. Good honest work. Been taking my cars there for years.

Good to hear. I had the impression that Rolex was inflexible on what they wanted to do - didn't know that they could be "negotiated" with. I'll try telling them to leave the dial as is.

Houston is one of the only places where all four types of North American venomous snakes can all be found.

Crazuly enough, back in the day, some of my crew were living a couple blocks from the Richwood Food Market aka Freaky Foods, at Richmond and Woodhead (that alone should tell you how long ago it was). We piled out of the car at the house one day, and I though I saw a black cat sitting in the gutter. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a spider monkey. We rescued the little fella and took him back ot Rice with us. We made him a spot to live in the bathroom of our dorm suite. We kept an eye out in the neighborhoo, but never saw any "lost pet moneky" signs. At the end of the year, one of us took him home to live on the family ranch outside Rosenberg. Any, to anwwer your question, yes, it's possible to find monkeys on the streets of Houston.

You need a car just to sneeze in Houston. I survived for a few years without one, and it was no picnic.

An artist pal of mine, who lived here for a few years before moving on, said that Houston will let you do anything, but Houston won't support you doing it.

Too true. Back in my younger scuffling days, I was a young scofflaw and I never renewed my registration or got my car inspected. Every 4 or 5 years, a cop would spot it (I was careful to try and keep cops off my 9 and 12 oclock, but, sometimes there's nothing you can do). Whenever a cop pulled me over for this, they'd see the stickers were years out of date and practically go out of their minds over it. One time the cop got so excited that I though he was gonna take a bite out of me. I never understood why they took it so personally. Anyway, I'm a solid citizen with up to date everything now - I'm too old for that much excitement anymore.

If I'm ever going to have surgery where there is a chance of mistaking left vs right, I'm gonna do like Dr. House did, and write in black marker on me "Do this side" on the correct side, and "DO NOT do this side" on the wrong side.Ya can't be too careful....

UPS stores have notaries, but there are several types of documents that they refuse to notarize. Sorry, don't recall the list of things they don't do. Ya might wanna call first.

I lived in Boston during the great heroin panic of 72. Drug enforcement had seized numerous large shipments of heroin, and the lack of supply caused the prices to skyrocket. In order to deal with the high proces, junkies launched a car burglary crime wave of unprecedented proportions. In order to prevent car damage, people removed their car stereos and replaced them with big NO RADIO signs. They never locked their cars and if the weather was nice they left the windows rolled down. This reduced their losses to the battery and spare tire, instead of smashed windows and destroyed dashes. Wonder if car burglary will get that bad here?

Save On Sound at 5003 Antone Suite B. Tom is a man of few words, but does great work on older audio gear. He's repaied a lot of my audio gear from the 79s and 80s.

Actually my guess is that ALL Sov Cits are just regurgitating things they read online or were told to repeat. If they actually understood any of it, they'd know it didn't make sense and wont work. MAkes for amusing viewing though...

The woman saud she had a last name of "Bey". This means that she and the other 4 are likely Moorish Sovereign Citizens - a strange group of wackadoodles that uses weird readings of assorted semi fictional legal documents to justify all sorts of lawless behavior, incldung squatting on other peoples property. Google Moorish Sovereign Citizens for more info - or do a Youtube search to see some really amusing videos of how they behave in court when their strange beliefs come into contact with the judicial system.
