End result is we should be putting the best skilled person in each position rather than a party that promises and never really delivers. We have so lost the ability of representing the people with honesty and integrity. Society of the whole is far more important than the one. IMHO

Deniers always continue to dispute issues even when they are presented with hard data by scientists, economists, statisticians, etc. They're kind of dense and/or bring personal baggage into the equation. It's almost sad that they get the same vote (instead of relative weighting ... what a concept) as some of the people with more critical thinking skills. Then, it's definitely sad that our country's simpletons could determine policy and anything of import for those who live in large swaths with way more complex and enlightened areas.

What people name their kids can be very interesting. I was once checking into a hotel in a suburb of Toronto, and the name of the guy helping me was Supreme. I asked him if his parents were Oldsmobile fans ... nope, they were Motown fans. The year before, I was going to the breakfast room at a hotel in Portugal and one of the employees running the breakfast service was a guy named Majeek. Now, Supreme was laid back and likable, but Majeek was very cool. I forgot where in the Portuguese diaspora his family came from ... possibly the Cape Verde Islands. The more you travel, or just look around you and observe, the more trippy things you will see and unique people you will come across.

The world is a village. It doesn't matter where you go, you will always see people buying lottery cards, schedules, tickets, or scratchers. Most of these people have no business buying them. Said another way, most of these people wouldn't understand the most basic concepts of a statistics course if they bit them in the ass. "Probability" is your friend.

Catching up on this thread after not checking it for a while...loving the Cadillac and Corvette pics, and the 80s cars...

Life is amazing in that regards as two critical points in my life was my college days in Japan for my love of the R33 and R34 Skyline cars and Depech Mode Music for the Masses concert I went to in Japan. Otherwise all my other music connection from College is Jazz, specifically Keiko Matsui - YouTube and toshiki kadomatsu - YouTube For Keiko, the first time I saw her and heard here was her Dream Walk Concert and got her album. Keiko Matsui — Dream Walk (youtube.com) For Toshiki it was his Sea is a Lady Album, My wife walked down the asle to his June Bride music on this Album.

Interesting mix of stuff, especially the cathedral That Fury is a rare damn car. The Fury owners club suggests that about 150 are left on the planet. they were never offered in Red, that is fiction from Stephen King. And also, they used lower model cars other than Fury's for many of the cars in the film.

Interesting idea. Neat overview, 62 Cadillac. I love his Ukraine commentary, very rational.

Neat old Dodge...

Cool Derby car

If old Trumpy gets back into the White House with his Drill Baby Drill attitude, expect this warming to pick up more.

Not good for the future of our planet...
