Cool. Just did some shopping, and its a terrible 76°F outside with low humidity. Just kidding Ron. With all that smoke in the area, the dust inside the house must be piling up. I always thought that a lot of the dust was from my smoking, but naaaaaaaaaa. Since I stopped smoking the dust is just as bad now. I heard that 90% of dust is dead skin particles .... and I've got a lot of skin.

Dust is protection for fine furniture!

I need to go for another ride. Beam me up Scottie. Toodles

Warren,

If you ever find a way to stop dust let me know. Even back when we used to have rain here I would have dust in the house. I could wipe off a window sill and 30 minutes later it would have another coat of dust on it.

Just never know what you'll see when you go out for a ride...

Fred - nice looking road-kill. Good for BBQ. Saw that a long time ago and still funny. Of course, any cat lover would call your humor cruel and unusual (and they would be correct ). They would definitely call you the "right bird".



Ron - I got hooked on those Swifter dusters. They are great, especially since the time between dusting is longer than normal for me ...

Thanks,I knew you would approve.

Judge for yourself on this one as I never bothered to go to Snopes to check on it. They sound reasonable enough to be true, especially in Texas;

These quotes are supposed to be true, judge for yourself

These 16 were taken off actual police car videos around the country:
[these are some mighty 'quick witted' cops!]

16. 'You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just
went through.'

15. 'Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll
stretch after you wear them a while.'

14. 'If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth
certificate a worthless document.'

13. 'If you run, you'll only go to jail tired.'

12. 'Can you run faster than 1200 ft/second? Because that's the speed
of the bullet that'll be chasing you.'

11. 'You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can
write anything I want on the ticket, huh?'

10. 'Yes sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think
it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?'

9. 'Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that
again or I'll give you another ticket.'

8. 'The answer to this last question will determine whether you are
drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?'

7. 'Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go
to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey
poop.'

6. 'Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster
oven.'

5. 'In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.'

4. 'How big were those 'two beers' you say you had?'

3. 'No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're
allowed to write as many tickets as we can.'

2. 'I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend
of yours. It's good to know someone who can post your bail.'

AND THE WINNER IS....

1. 'You didn't think we gave pretty women tickets? You're right, we
don't.........Sign here.'

GMA. What a nice ride last night. Fantastic weather for July. Temp was about 72°F. Got tons of "Nice car!" shout outs. One guy at a stop light in a Blazer wanted a race and I said "OK, to make it fair I'll give you a 5 minute head start." Today and tomorrow supposed to be sunny and 80°F ... guess I'll have to go for at least one ride ... well, maybe 2 or 3 this weekend.

Tony Snow will not be coming down for breakfast. Boy, that was fast. Colon cancer. He was a great newsman and did a fantastic job as press secretary. RIP Tony.

Ron, I have actually heard my uncle say #13. I was watching some of the video from his dash cam and he said that. I had to rewind it because I had to check to see if he really said that. #1 does rule. That is something I would say.

Morning!

God is watering my trees and plants for me...so I can post on CC.

Yesterday's discussion was air powered engines. The guy in France who claimed to have "invented" the air powered engine is full of _ _ _ t.

We concluded steam powered engines were here before this joker's engines.

Any thoughts??

I must have sleep through that discussion yesterday.

I want the patent rights to that engine. Wow .. running on free air. No gas, no diesel fuel. Heck, you do not even need a fuel tank.

Infinity miles per gallon! I could be the world's first gazillionaire!

No you did not. It was Tru that was asleep ... and dreaming.

[wtm442]

Tru

The first car was Ron's gravity powered vehicle. Steam and gasoline hadn't even been invented.

I think the last of the winter chilled air got finished off today.

[wtm442]

Gee, it got all the way up to 82°F here today. Great day for a ride.

Here is a sound clip you might enjoy. Turn your volume up to the maximum.

Not sure, but I doubt its Tim Allen's lawnmower. Whatever car it is, its a "track car" and its got tons of HP. Love the high winding sound as it moves away from the microphone.

It was great day for a drive...so I drove.
