My solution for that was to get cross with them and tell them how wasteful they are, whether they realized it or not. A lot of people actually don't care if they are wasteful. So I would lay into them and say there are tons of people starving in the world already (and I'm not talking about bums...

I agree with you there!(y)

The reason that won't happen is that isn't treason.

As many Conspiracy Theories that are posted here, I don't envy you that task...

I have and the world media tells a different story.

No need to be embarrassed. That's you pay AAA for. That's what Cindy and I always did because our insurance's roadside assistance was local only, so for going anywhere that was not local, we had AAA. Just don't think of it as a high priced luxury. Peace of mind ain't cheap, but it's worth it at...

People are much nicer here than the people in Humboldt County. I don't know, it must be something about Southern California. I was on an Amtrak trip from Alabama to Eureka had to switch trains in Los Angeles. Everyone there was very nice. The Porter that helped me with my luggage said "Have a...

I saw a video about the two income thing and made perfect sense. That one of many things that was covered as a bad result. There's nothing like real parents to raise a kid right. I never expected babysitters to do that.

Don't forget that a lot of older Dad's are getting "Portly" (God knows I am, I'm over 250 pounds now), so they might need to add more dogs to the sleds and they will need more than two... ;)

Maine is the one state my band has never played in. We were playing in Boston for 8 shows, and afterwards we drove up to Maine just to be able to say we had been there. We didn't go all that far, we turned around in Portland. On the way back instead driving back the way we came on I-95, we took...

That's what I did. My Dad would jokingly call it being a Rented Dad. I always loved that joke, in spite of the irony of it. The parents always pays the rent. That's why they call them Parents, which is a Portmanteau of Pay Rents. 😁

Neanderthals

This isn't the same thing but it never happened before or since. My band had just "got off work" after three show at Harrah's Club in Reno. We headed off to Denny's for dinner. When we were about to order, this elderly couple came up to us and said they had been to the shows, that they had never...

You speak like an experienced husband. On my 12th birthday, my Dad gave me the "Man Speech" which included the immortal words "Yes, Dear"... Then he told me to "Go pack yer stuff and git. You're a man now." When I started to go do what he said, "Come back here," and gave me a hug. "Were you...

That is three things I forgot to tell you... 1. When Costco says it guarantees 100% Satisfaction, they mean it. You could even eat it and they would still give you a refund, no questions asked. I always say why, but they have never asked. 2. If this isn't real Ice Cream, I would love to try the...

But of course, the weather guy said it would be in the high 50°s tonight and at best, it is mid-40°s. Not exactly cold by my standards, this is what I call "Sweater Weather", but that and the level of ground water after all the rain we've been getting is what is keeping the "Tule Fog" in place.

For the last three nights, we have had very low, very dense fog. I'm talking about if you must drive put your flashers on and don't go faster than 20 mph. My son said it reminded him of flying in clouds. I told him "There's a reason for that..." ;) The weather predicts that to continue for...

That reminds me of a conversation I had in the early 2000s with the Manager of Wells Fargo Bank in Eureka. He was trying to get me to sign up for "Bill Pay" (very original name, eh?) and I kept saying no. He asked me why. So I thought for a moment. I asked him something like "Who do you think...

That's called Hoarding if you save too much stuff and use too little of it... ;)

Is there a Costco near you? The one near me has real Premium Ice Cream. I t can be pretty hard when you first take it out of the freezer, but set on something like plate or a pan to catch the sweat and it will soften in about 20 minutes or so. Did you know the largest amount of anything in...
