    Very sorry you lost your mom. Mine died last Dec at 96, thankfully not from Covid. Give yourself as much time as it takes to feel sad. Carol

    Looking at 2007 Toyota highlander

    Going next Tues to check it. I know how to inspect mechanicals, engine (my 2004 Avalon has the same 6-cyl power plant). This vehicle has a trailer hitch: I will ask what was towed and how heavy. What else should I ask about /look at related to towing? I love the Avalon as road car but can't...

    Off-road Article

    As the cop who first trained me on the department dispatch desk in the '60s said after one lieutenant's racist remark , "A**holes come in all colors." And all political affiliations; don't assume off road idiocy confined to the ex president's devotees.

    Shamong Mayor Envisions His Township Becoming A Hub Of Cannabis Cultivation If Legalization Is Approved By NJ Voters

    I, too, got a joint laced with something else once. Not a pleasant experience. One of the few times in the 60's when I smoked weed. Never got into it since I just got sleepy rather than high. A few reasons I voted to legalize: 1) More tax revenue for the state 2) Profits going to local...

    Sunset at Friendship

    Neither am I. Many years ago I went to a dealership and test drove one. Spun out with the salesman in the passenger seat. No damage but he was very pale when we stopped. Also could not afford to hire a German-car-specific mechanic. More to this story: someday we will bond over bourbon and...

    Tick control?

    As Sue said previously, this is the season for new population hatching, Tiny, almost invisible critters. Not only are they too small and light-colored to see, they are so small you may not feel them on your skin. How I didn't notice one on me until it engorged. Ugh. Long pants tucked...

    Stealth camping and caterpillars

    They may need to diversify their "training". Apparently most facial recognition programs aren't so great with faces of color or advanced age. So I'm good for now.
