    Raccoons, continued

    Absolutely... In Yellowstone I saw a car with the roof pulled back like a pop top. Not a convertible, a hard top made out of steel. And if they find food in your car, on your property, etc., they might remember that for years.

    What is up with all the government X accounts posting Penguins now?

    Maybe Winter is Coming? :cool:

    CNN Propaganda

    Merely clicking on them isn't enough to make them happy campers. They want you to like, subscribe, ring the bell and watch all videos all the way to the very end. That's how they make money, and that is why there are so many videos with Clickbait titles. They're fishin' for clicks. I don't fault...

    CNN Propaganda

    She posted immediately after me and did not quote anyone. Typically, that means you're talking to the last person who posted before you, so I assumed that she was talking to me. She asked: To which I replied "Sure, as long as the vast majority of other news agencies are talking about the same...

    "A news agency" is only one news agency, not "the vast majority of other news agencies." One agency would be a minority... ;)

    CNN Propaganda

    Sure, as long as the vast majority of other news agencies are talking about the same thing. Even if it is totally Fake News, if everyone is saying approximately the same thing, there must be something about the underlying story that the governments of the world want us to believe. Whether you...

    Yep, they were real humdingers. 🎱

    Whatchamacallit

    Back in the late 1970s and 1980s, if you ordered a Pop, that meant you wanted a Coke. Most of the bars we played at didn't have very many non-alcoholic drinks. But they had Cokes for the Rum and Coke crowd. It's also very region specific.

    Whatchamacallit

    That is a nickname for Soda Pop, but I know from 15 years of one nighters in bars, there are some places where if you order Soda, Pop, or Soda Pop, you'll get Soda Water. Mostly in parts of the mid-west. It's also when you hit somebody, commonly referred to as putting a pop knot upside their...

    Whatchamacallit

    Whenever I called something a "Whatchamacallit", my Dad would say "It's not a Whatchamacallit, it's a Dumaflache!" He was also fond of Doodad, Doohickey, Gizmo and Thingamabob.

    Pedal Cars

    I know... And what is more ironic (or perhaps a better word might be Moronic) is that I knew that when I was 10 years old (in 1966) and my Industrial Arts (aka "Shop Class") teacher apparently did not. That was one of the many things I learned from hanging around with my Dad. When I was 10 I...

    Pedal Cars

    That is all part of why I say that the government only tells us what they want us to hear. Look what happened to Nikola Tesla's work after he died. It was like "Poof" and quite a bit of it just disappeared. He invented some really great stuff, and some of his missing stuff was found...

    Pedal Cars

    Probably somewhere that there was a lot of water... 😁 I didn't have a pedal car but in shop class at school I took a carcass of an old gas powered go-cart and using parts from a wrecked 1955 Ford Fairlane I made an electric go-cart. It wasn't very efficient. It would take almost all day to...

    Invasive AI

    I know the feeling. There is so much of it on YouTube now, it's making it hard to find real news. Can you make Message Filters in your email program? They come in so handy for filtering out the BS.

    Healing as we grow older

    I know... But sometimes there is no cure, so no healing. After years of one nighters, and doing the setup every night, I was developing Cervical Stenosis without knowing it. Then, like you I wrecked my bike and "woke it up", as my first Pain Doc put it. All I can do is try to manage the pain, if...

    Healing as we grow older

    I fell 6 times in two months. Part of it was because I had Occipital Nerve Block that failed miserably, the 2nd one in a row. The other part was Wheelchair Operator Error. My Doc told me after five falls, he wanted me to start using my chair for more than just a walker. I can still use it as a...
