The idea of having your own car, and the freedom it allows, is so entrenched in our culture... I think it would take several generations for that idea to go away (barring a major societal breakdown or some such). I am part of the problem. I can't imagine not having my own car. I get roughly half an hour of "alone time" in the car before and after work and I consider that absolutely essential. I'm also really pessimistic that I will see significant usage of driverless cars in my lifetime. It will only take a couple serious crashes and high-profile lawsuits to set the industry back.

sorry to hear. Wishing you and your family strength going forward.

Once that car's shoveled out - where are they going to go?

Sorry that happened - at least it sounds like it could have been a lot worse. Hope you feel better soon.

Hush yo' mouth!

I'm sorry to hear this.

It was most definitely way too cold for that.

Often - as you know - that effort is worth it. This absolutely floors me.

Surely this will shut up the Pats haters! OK, that's funny.

If you can look past all of New Jersey's faults for one single thing, it is the caramel corn made by Johnson's in Ocean City (and maybe other places). You show up and you get some hot from the pan, a little crispy - as sweet treats go it is one of my all time favorite things. I've never tried making it myself - my guess is that it would be fun to do once, but I would remember the hassle of cleanup for a long time.

I was diagnosed with a murmur some 30 years ago. It is considered "functional" which means it isn't really a problem, and chances are the same is true for you. Good luck.

Well, it was kind of cold that night She stood alone on her balcony She could hear the cars roll by out on 441 Like waves crashin' on the beach And for one desperate moment there He crept back in her memory God it's so painful Something that's so close And still so far out of reach --T.P.

I'm sorry, LJ. Hoping for a good outcome - I know you will take good care of her.

"South by Southwest is an annual conglomerate of film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences that take place in mid-March in Austin, Texas, United States. It began in 1987, and has continued to grow in both scope and size every year." March 8-17, 2019. Lotta those snooty hipster indie bands will be playing. (I'd love to go someday)
