Clear and Present Danger - Politicians

 More Nanny State – Colorado Winter Highways

Colorado highways across the mountains are inadequate, and will always be inadequate. Winter increases the challenges.

State law already decrees the left lane on four lane highways is for passing, not travel. Rarely enforced, in my experience. Now two ‘legislators’ who live along I-70 and need to drive to Denver on business think they have a solution to an intractable problem.

Commercial carriers pay taxes, too, a lot of taxes and are as entitled to use the highways as anyone. I’ve no problem with requiring everyone using the highways to be equipped to deal with the conditions.

Driving anywhere involves delays. Trucks taking miles to pass another truck with a 2 mph difference in speed governors is a frequent nuisance. Two elected officials being delayed in traffic doesn’t warrant more burdensome regulations, IMO.

More Nanny State b.s. Tax pets. OK, tax people who own pets.

Climate change derangement – the newest mental health crisis

Don’t be alarmed; just a college ‘professor’ twit.

One point of view is universities should present a broad spectrum of viewpoints. Is it too much to hope many of the intelligent students will be able to discern babbling bullshit? Apply that discernment to their post education lives?

Old Age, Wisdom, and Auto Repairs

At my age my skin is so thin I cut and bruise easily. My right turn signal bulb needed replaced. That, on a Taurus, requires the whole assembly be removed. The trunk liner needs to be partially moved. The whole process is a fifteen minute job that only took me an hour. Foolish not to wear gloves and my blog title remains accurate.

As I often brag, I’m a piss poor mechanic but my hourly labor rate is unmatched.

Rhetorical question, for sure, but why did Ford elect to use an 11mm nut?

No surprise. Long article focused on the government being sued. Along those lines, Emperor Polis needs to keep his trophy husband happy.

Bashing Biden

Not that it will change a damned thing.
