Channeling Yogi Bera?

I had a similar positive experience in Spain and Morocco. Tangier is very close to Spain so most of the locals know Spanish.

I would always start conversations in Spanish. Most of the time the person I was talking to would appreciate my attempt and switch to English. In Tangier I talked to a street peddler for over 15 minutes while friends were in a store. I attempted to speak in Spanish but he preferred English. He just wanted to chat.

I've met most of neighbors while walking my dogs. There is a nice backyard but they LOVE going on walks and car rides.

This story is being reported elsewhere. It had been in the news cycle for several days as more individuals and govt agencies commented.

This is state law in California. Enforcement differs in each area. I don't believe Oakland checks.

I usually bang the edge of the lid with some blunt flatware. Dull side of a butter knife is my preferred flatware.

Helped my manager open something a few weeks ago by using some random piece of office equipment. She was very happy to pickled jalapenos as a side.

My last two TVs were dumb ones.

It is getting harder find dumb TVs because the smart stuff included with most TVs subsidizes keeping the initial price low. Manufactures are betting millions of dollars purchasers will sign up for the monthly apps.

I have a filing cabinet with one drawer for hanging folders. Everything gets sorted and put in there. When a folder gets too fluffy I will pull it out and shred old stuff.

I could probably get rid of a lot but this method does come in handy occasionally. Most recently were my 2023 taxes which I filed in July (I had an extension). I yanked the 2023 file and immediately had 90% of my donations and medical expenses.

I do similar. Cross the name out with a Sharpie and write "MOVED".

After owning the place for two years now I just throw it out.

Those are very nice numbers.

It's all about the area under the curve and you have definitely increased that area throughout the RPM range.

Those are great numbers. What vehicle?

I can't read any more comments. It is too dusty in here.
