Did Hell Freeze Over?
I have something to applaud Emperor Polis and (P)regressive Democrats in Colorado.
More surprises. The (P)regressives failed to pass:
Safe Injections Sites aka Drug Dens
Local Rent Control
“Assault” Weapons Ban
State Government Control over zoning and land use state wide
All went down with bipartisan support. The defecting Democrats are likely looking towards the next election and know many of their constituents are outraged by these proposals.
Never Was (COVID)
People worldwide are to resistant so come up with a face saving “scientific” retreat.
More Face Saving? (COVID)
Almost as Strong?
Researchers still can’t duplicate Roman concrete.
Critical Component
“The electrification of
aviation is viewed as a crucial component in the creation of a fossil fuel-free
future”.
More “climate change” wet dreams (but the science is “settled”)
Social Equity Business
WTF is that

Karma?
We’re #2
Who decided to put these two stores adjacent in a town of 1,500? My apology for the picture quality. It was difficult to get a good angle.
The pictures are the extent of my knowledge about this vehicle.
As always, YMMV.

I'm not sold on the idea of electric cars. WTF are they thinking, making airplanes electric???
No limit to human stupidity.
I love the old truck.
Used to date a guy who restored old trucks in his spare time.
He and his dad were restoring a Studebaker back in 1979 when we dated. He still has that truck today.
Thank you for the update. The only thing missing was a Banner Report. Live long and prosper, WSF.

Studebaker truck! That brings back memories o my Wyoming rancher grandfather who swore by them.
(and swore at them when they needed work)

You're welcome. Banner had a sleepover at Sisty's Friday night while I was in Nebraska. He loves the attention, other dogs, back yard with dog door access and her couch. Downside is no treats in the house. He often is able to steal the other dog's food if the dishes aren't
Saw several Hueys and a Chinook today out doing "something".
Pebbles sends her doggie greetings to Banner!

Perhaps the Guard doing a monthly exercise.
We should arrange for Pebbles and Banner to meet.
47 Ford, probably a six with a six volt system. Throw a battery in it and it'd probably start! And real steel, so it would be a nice restoration project.

I'm sure you are correct. There is likely a fine story associated with that truck.
I'll bet there is!!!
Walgreens and CVS drug stores can often be found across the street from each other, but generally not in small towns.
"Right to repair" what a crock. JD & etc. will figure a way to make up the money somehow or another. Profit centers gonna profit. Regarding automobiles, I heard on the radio the other day that the next shoe to drop will be car companies making features subscription based. Want the radio to work? Pay the subscription. Electric windows? Pay the subscription. Etc., etc. I knew it would come to this when satellite radio became a thing.

Sadly, I think you are correct. A recent farm auction saw used (repairable) tractors selling for more than when they were new.
This past fall during harvest season every implement dealer in Yuma, CO had rows of new machines. Nobody buying. I would hate to be paying their flooring over the winter.
The new equipment with satellite guidance and sophisticated computer controls are far more efficient than the old school equipment when they are running. Emphasis on running. Row planting and fertilizing is precise down to 4".
That's correct, extremely precise. A farmer buddy in western Kansas inadvertently 'splained both sides of all that recently. His new GPS controller wouldn't "talk" to the tractor, so he was dead in the water until it was fixed, and it took a while for the technician to get there, and then the tech had to order in new parts and that took another while. Annoyed doesn't begin to describe it.
I said, what, you can't plow without all this stuff? And he said, the plowing is so targeted now that it's too difficult, he'd have to plow the entire field instead of the little strips and that takes more time and fuel, so it just isn't practical. Then because the fertilizer application is equally targeted, he'd have fertilize the entire field instead of just the little strips, making that too expensive.
Pretty sure you know all this, but some here may not be aware how screwed we'll be if the GPS system went down and all of a sudden, modern farming had to "reset" to "the good old days." When the Bible talks about global famine, these are things that make me go hmmm.
I live near Bandera, Texas, a town of about 1000. We have 4 Dollar Generals within a 4 mile radius of the county court house in the center of town. The Family Dollar is around 500 feet from the Dollar General, both on Main Street.
Good job aimlessly wandering here Mr Fool. The foreboding signs are plain to see and those in charge refuse to see.

None of that makes any sense to me. I think they are a blight. The local stores are forced out of business and with it a source of fresh produce.
Family Dollar is owned by Dollar Tree another similar business.
In "food deserts", like we have in downtown after Safeway closed that store, sometimes they are the only place that folks in those neighborhoods can get dairy, canned goods & staples.
Sisty
I'm not putting them down and recognize the need/place. My snarky post had to do with I perceived as someone's bad business decision. Family Dollar now shows Dollar Tree in their front windows.
