From the time I started legally driving, and for a long time thereafter, I viewed a standard (stick shift) transmission as something that made driving fun.
Then I got old and now view it as something that makes my arthritic left knee hurt like hell. Pushing in that clutch is not always easy.
It has long been to the point that I don’t believe (and probably never will) a single word any western person says about China, Russia, Iran, and many other places.
I don’t do research projects to refute the endless whataboutisms every time somebody findz ’em a new one and swears that it’s THE ONE that proves something.
We really are still friends, but a long-time one on FB is recently repeatedly bothered by my mild evasive political posts and feels the need to intervene.
I hold back from saying, “I’ve watched your nutcasery go by for years and haven’t once jumped in there.”
For my own fun, I’m now targeting with some posts to incite. 😁

Using my last Harvey Milk stamp today on a birthday card. I ordered so many.
¿Qué onda?
Trying to come down from the discomfort of getting home, I was up at 3 AM watching videos of how a Wankel engine works. Strange the things that are interesting in the middle of the night.
I remember when Mazda offered the Wankel for the first time. Lotta geeks I knew had to have one. A friend took me for a ride. Me: “oooh, fancy!”

It’s red out there on the end where the man was sitting.
Then he slipped off.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA
Well, there’s pride in every American heart
And it’s time we stand and say*:

While driving by industrial parks, sometimes I can smell the tax-free (actually fraud) aroma in the air. I need a little piece of land and a building in one of those.
Companies with names you’ve never heard of in brand new pristine buildings with a manicured campus. Some of them are one-trick one-product ponies manufacturing such important things as an anti-static wipe or a plastic injector pen.
Huge beautiful buildings with 75 loading docks, but you only see three or four trailers out there. The pavement is not even dirty where the trucks supposedly run around. I bet the trailers that are parked out there are props.

It looks like everybody is hungry.
Ebony, the black one on the left, still has her blue donut on due to a head scrape. Looks a little funny.
