Votes cast are not something I would consider in popularity. The size of the amount of votes cast, are more than the population of the U.S. in years past. It's like the movies. You hear bragging about how much money a movie made. I think a more reliable way to measure it would be how many paid...

I've never heard of Biden being the "Most popular President in History". What is the source for that. I think Trump might have said something like that, but I can't say for sure. Neither one is in a class with J.F.K. F.D.R., during the war, but not before it, was pretty popular. Teddy Roosevelt...

I'm just wondering about the provenance of Spoketoro. How long has it been around? How is it funded? What is it's management philosophy?

Is that all? Trump had him beat. <<When SparkToro previously analyzed former President Donald J Trump's account, @realDonaldTrump, it found that 61% were "bots, spam, inactive, or propaganda." Jump to Sections of this page>> Here's the link if you use Fakebook. I don't...

Filled up at Costco this morning. $4.23, up from $3.89. Still, cheaper than anyplace else. I saw $4.59 driving home. $5.59 for diesel.

Try living with a teenager who opens the door, grabs a drink, then stands there with the door open, and stands there, and stands there. Let's just say I pointed out the error of her ways to her in rather brusque terms. Now she has a daughter who does it. 😁

I have to admit I was surprised at the preordered cars that took forever to get delivered. The same happened to Tucker years ago and it got shut down before the cars could be built.

Is the right door, the one you knock on, double sided? You can open the outer door to grab a drink or snack without opening the whole refrigerator? I've been looking at those but my current refrigerator is still good.

The excuses have begun. Elon may be backing out if his Twitter deal. He's been in trouble in the pas with the SEC because of comments he's said. Now he's making comments, well, excuses, about fake Twitter accounts.

After I posted this, I was mowing the yard. My neighbor who is proud of his stereo must have gotten a ticket for it as he drove by and was much more subdued. He's got an old police Crown Vic with 24 inch wheels so it's hard to miss him. I got to thinking about focused sonic projections. The...

I let the kid have my Focus when she got her license. 3 months later I had to go pull it home and spend the winter rebuilding it where she plowed into the back of a woman who had never had a brand new car and bought a brand new Toyota Camry and was pulling into her driveway for the first time...

Yep, THEY are coming for your loud mufflers. Kalifornia is starting a 5 year program to crack down on loud pipes. https://www.powernationtv.com/post/new-california-law-will-fine-drivers-for-loud-vehicles?utm_source=drip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=New+Law+Will+Fine+Drivers+for+Loud+Vehicles...

Sales are picking up.

Bummer. I have a particular disdain for "wheel thieves". They rank with me like the horse thief did back in the 1800's. The worst part, the beings, I refuse to call them people, probably didn't really need anything in the car. They just broke in for the thrill of it.

Many years ago, a company I worked for made roll roofing that looked like bricks. Put it over a lap board house and it looks like brick.

The oil companies. Here in the Illinois basin area, piping is going in as fast as they can bore. Production was deliberately slowed to get the price up. Now that it's up, production is ramping up again. With tight supplies and rising prices, the race is on to grab the market while it's hot...

From the signing of a lease to oil flowing is between 5 and 8 years. That's if everything goes right. It rarely does.

J.D. ByRyder has a lot near me. The last time I went by, they had 5 cars out in front. Their lot is usually fairly covered with cars. Off to one side, are several wrecked cars that look to be waiting to be repaired. Maybe 8 or so. A little over a dozen cars when they usually have 60 or so.

It's more complex than that, but you have the gist of it. Securities laws go back well over 100 years. Teddy Roosevelt got the ball rolling on them as a lot of the rich people back in the late 11800's used other peoples money without permission to get rich. Talk of corruption today is a pale...

Filled up the other day. Normal stations were ranging from $4.19 to $4.29. Costco was $3.89.
