[Wondering a bit about the people who went around setting fires in the tribal lands in 2020. More specifically, how many of them returned versus how many set out. The tribes around here were P.I.S.S.E.D.! $TINY_TOWN had one attempt caught early, but a large one near the lake did a lot of damage to the Klamath/Modoc/Yahooskin lands. Anyone apprehended would be treated with extreme and possibly quite creative prejudice.]
My cars, some engine oil. Various times, brake fluid. Whee. First car, I didn’t know that DOT 3 brake fluid and British brakes were incompatible. Made for an exciting start to a couple of winter commutes. (This was long before the web and/or really good Britcar advice…) Second car, I saw it before starting, but that was strictly age. That car (1960 TR3A) spent more time being worked on than driven. When it worked, it was fun.
“The two best days with a British Sports car. First, when you buy it. Second, when you sell it.”
I can testify to that! A buddy of mine had a Sears Die Hard (well-named in this case; it died really hard) battery literally explode when he hit the starter; the entire engine compartment was covered with acid. Luckily, there was a water source close, and he had a bucket, so only minor damage, and I was able to tow him the mile or so to the local Sears. Sears replaced it for free, after the sales manager was finally convinced that it happened; the empty battery case with the side blown out was eloquent.😉 Never learned how it happened; my best guess was an internal short of some kind.
Internal short with just enough hydrogen gas above the electrolyte. I’ve seen it happen at least a dozen times, usually in the winter when the fluid was low or partially frozen. The explosion of a big old battery for a Gradall excavator is impressive, and messy. Can also happen if you’re fast charging a battery. Had a friend of the family lose an eye when he was doing that and bumped the terminal clamps while bending over the battery.
Avoiding such is one of the reasons why I have the solar system (lead acid–not going to mess with Lithium) batteries in a box vented to the outside, and why the electrolyte gets topped off monthly for the pumphouse, and 4 – 6 weeks for the backup system that uses L16 batteries with a whole lot more electrolyte than the Trojans in the pumphouse.
Sounds right; I’d just never seen it happen before (or since). I keep a trickle charger on the battery in the car that only gets used occasionally, but I’ve always been very careful about flame/sparks around lead-acid batteries, and about connecting the negative cable on a “real” charger far away, and last. Can’t do a lot about internal shorts, though…😒

Once upon a time… I encountered a campus… the ‘school’ was on the edge of town… and the ‘residence halls’ (“We do NOT call them dorms!”) were on the edge of THAT. Naturally, the closest Hall was the most sought-after. And across the street was a cemetery.
As I am relating this, you know things went… WRONG.
There were rules. One was “Do NOT place speakers in windows to blare to the outside.” That… was not the worst of it.
There was a burial. And some… (absolutely NOT a) “genius” placed the speakers in the window thus… and blasted.. (so help me) Another One Bites The Dust. As you can well imagine, said was person was rather forcefully “invited to leave.”
“There is a strong probability that my heart blockages were initiated by the COVID vaccine.”
On that note.
Aunt’s (mother of my cousins, her ex, their father, is my uncle *an idiot but still dad’s much younger brother*) husband died a week ago. The clot shot destroyed his heart, as stated by by his doctors. Not that this will come out in court anywhere. Sudden onset after getting the shot. Ongoing slowly getting worse since. Sat in recliner to take a nap. Didn’t wake up. (He’ll be interned next to his late wife, per his wishes. FYI, eventually, she’s only 20 months older than I am and from as long lived family as my mom’s, she’ll be interned as ashes with her youngest in the historical family graveyard.)
Thankfully my dad was able to get his heart fixed; but there was no way in heck that it was natural to go from 100 percent okey-doke to 90 percent blocked up, in the course of a year. He also magically started having all kinds of health problems after the clot shot; and of course I got the myopic degeneration thing in middle age.
I really wish I had made more of a big deal about them not getting the shot, but they wouldn’t have been able to go to any doctors until this year. I don’t care so much about myself, but my parents really had risks and paid for it.
On the bright side, two injections stopped the myopic degeneration, and I am still okay now. (I just got a checkup, and it’s been two years of okayness.)
I know someone who got the J&J shot back when he had to get one to keep his job; ended up with lung clots within ten days. Absolutely zero COVID infection and both he and the VA know that they were caused by the shot.
He’s pretty chill about it, mainly because he has no long-term effects after they cleared them. Pretty sure he has never gotten a booster, though.
I’ll admit I haven’t taken time to watch the whole Jag commercial. From the glance at the muted autoplay on my phone Twitter app it looked more like a stupid “fashion” exhibition instead of a car commercial. Did they have an actual car in it? I didn’t get that far into it.
One astute yt commentator with actual marketing experience (“Call me Chato”) was certain JaguarTataWhatever was pranking everyone, putting out this car-free massive silliness so they could snap back into form, with British old school snobbery and real cars, and harvest the attention, but he’s since recanted after the company’s head doubled down on woke.
Loved our 2000 Dodge Durango. Smaller than current versions. At the time we needed 2 4×4’s, occasionally. One seatbelts, the other haul capacity. Involved in scouting. Question wasn’t if we were driving, it was which was needed. Seatbelts or Haul, or both (either could tow). Too often it was both (unfortunately in our small unit there were only a few safe vehicle available, and we had half of them). Not that 4×4, or extra bit of clearance, was “required” (spring use of Murnane all but requires 4×4 to get out of that valley), but made driving some roads a lot easier.
I replaced the full-sized 4-seat, short-bed Silverado with a 4-seat Honda Ridgeline. Nice to get a pickup a little bit smaller than the Chevy, though there are compromises. It can tow a travel trailer, but I’m not happy doing so. No lumber rack, though I seldom need long stock any more, and if really necessary, I can pay for the delivery. (I can get 12′ stock home with the 8′ utility trailer and careful tiedowns. Bigger than that, nope.)
The Honda is fun to drive, and is flat out comfortable. I’ve owned and/or driven enough PITA pickups to appreciate the latter.
On that same note. We had a 2006 crew cab 6′ box Toyota Tacoma (replaced the Dodge Durango and ’78 Chevy xCab). Loved that truck. Comfortable to ride in, even when towing. OTOH towing. Yes, met the specs all the way around for our ’08 Komfort TrailBlazer. The problem was “Barely” for the total max tow rating. We compensated by not fully loading water when hauling distances. But in the end we traded for the 2010 Chevy 1/2 ton xCab whose specs gave us a lot more wiggle room. Lost the comfort ride, especially if sitting in the back seat (better than the old benches), could feel the tow more.
Forget exactly when they “retooled” the Dodge Durango. But when they did it went substantially bigger, longer and wider (mid-size pickup bigger VS small pickup sized). Which was weird because it was already a 3 row vehicle. Granted the cargo area was almost non-existent with the 3rd seat in use.
Hyunadai has done the same with the new 2025 Santa Fe’s. Sigh. Our criteria for the Santa Fe types were “how long is the ‘cargo area’ with the middle seat area down”. Had to be 6′ 6″. Our emergency bunk if caught out on the road on trips. Hubby is 6′. Haven’t needed to use it. Plus we love the hidden bin storage in the actual cargo area, which we use to travel. Hubby’s camera bag goes under there, as does my laptop. Also where we put the hiking boots until we use them.
Oh. The vehicles whose cargo space was “close enough”, only to have hubby get in the seat and “nope”. On the flip side we also tested rigs, including pickups when we were in the market for them, that I hopped into the driver seat and went “nope”. I have to be able to see over the steering wheel and past the hood. Not easy combination. I’m only 5’4″, barely. Hubby is a solid 6’1″ + a smidgen.
On the more recent GM gasoline V-8 trucks (including tahoe/‘burban/yukon(s)) apparently one longevity trick is to buy a gizmo that you plug into the OBD port that tricks the engine management computer into _not_ deactivating cylinders for mileage improvements, as that helpful corporate average fuel economy aid apparently causes lifter failures that eat camshafts.
The Durango includes the helpful “eco mode off” button that prevents cylinder shutoff. And most blessedly, mine omits entirely that ultra-annoying “engine off at stoplight” mode.
And that comic has been adapted for the Jag-off commercial. Might have made it in the PL meme post.
Never could talk myself into buying a Jag of any vintage, though the E Jag ranks at the top of my list of the most beautiful cars ever made. Was at a vintage car race some 50(!) years ago. The XK 120 and the D Jag are pretty nice too, but gimme an E if I ever win the lottery. Might have to buy a ticket, though.
I used to see an F-Type R at least once a week on my morning commute, going by at about 100 on the interstate. Sweeeeeet. But I don’t fit such coupe-types, alas.
An acquaintance related the tale (truth coefficient: UNKNOWN) of travelling in Florida… it had snowed.. and the patrol was waving people away from one highway due to the conditions. Said acquaintance & family were from Michigan in a vehicle with MI plates. A glance at the plate… and they were waved through.
We did 13 years in MI, and you’d think MI folks would know how to drive in snow.
Sadly, MI also has its share of idiots.
I recall one morning, driving from Detroit to Lansing, with probably a foot of snow on the highway; I was puttering along about 40mph in my 4WD Chevy ‘Baby Blazer’ and was passed by a Camaro doing maybe 70.
A few miles later, saw him spun out waaaay off the road.
I looked for blood, didn’t see any, and kept on truckin’. This was pre-cell phone days, so couldn’t even call it in.
I was being careful on I-70 in El Suburrito some years back, and an SUV blazed past doing the limit (I was not), on snowpack. Said car was in the median when I exited, with help, so I did not honk or wave. (El Suburrito was quite happy with 45 MPH on snowpack, and so was I. Good tires but no chains.)
Not even snow. Well it had been snowing at Lewis Lake, southern entrance. We were headed south. Elevation drops a lot, so semi-clear, but dry, no snow or ice, after exiting the Rockefeller Parkway and entering Teton from the north. We had 3 cars behind us when we pulled over to use the restroom. They all zoomed by. We caught up to all 3. First one was hanging off the edge of the road by 3/4 of the smallish car, luckily more or less embedded into the soil on the edge (probably 30′ down to the water, which would have been more than enough to swallow the car). Other two cars were stopped. Checked cell coverage. There at least was some. People already out of cars, including driver (passenger?), with cell phones, one person waving on other cars. We did not stop (what are two out of shape 65+ non-medical going to add?). Would have if we’d been first on the scene, but we weren’t. Did not see the cause. Probably an animal they swerved to miss. Or why one does not swerve to miss animals. OTOH a week since famous grizzly 399 was killed 30 miles south of Tetons National Park. Hitting a bear because speeding (399 accident was not caused by driver speeding), and these 3 cars were, was not on anyone top agenda either.
There’s nothing quite like taking an on-ramp, dry roads at night, at a safe speed, then briskly accelerating onto the freeway, and seeing the idiot who’d been tailgating you as you didn’t run the ramp fast enough behind you in your rear view mirror go “swipe right headlights” – “swipe right taliights” – “swipe right headlights” – “swipe right…” until you had to stop laughing and pay attention to drive.
$SPOUSE and I were coming back from Medford one winter. Coming off the Cascades, there’s a 2 mile 6% grade with curves and no passing. A Corvette did that fine, but got anxious at the bottom flat. We saw the car: rear end up an embankment, nose 5′ from the pavement (car orthogonal to the road) and a very sheepish looking driver.
We had our first major snowfall last Sunday/Monday. I had to drive the snow-tireless Honda and was careful. Normally, I’d consider 45 mph in the Nat’l Forest, but was behind a couple drivers doing 25-30. (Knowing $TINY_TOWN, the lead vehicle had balding std tires.) Somebody else got excited earlier, and were in the ditch, cuddled to a bank. The driver’s door probably would not open, due to the bank and the spinout.
After the forest, I finally got tired of following and passed the vehicles. Doing 50 on wet (no longer icy–microclimates for the win) was a lot better than 35.
In town, somebody else managed to spin out on the 4 lane road out of town. Flat and straight, but he got one rear tire way off the road. Sigh. The first snowfall is always interesting. I had the ham radio tuned to EMS on the slave channel, and the services were quite busy.
Our first year in Florida it barely got below 50 all winter. We were saying, “This is sweater weather for Pete’s sake!” and regarding our new neighbors as soft.
So next winter, secure in our belief it would be mild, we drove to St Augustine in Feb. Let’s just say we learned our lesson.
I learned long, long ago that travel requires a complete change of dry clothing, to include shoes, plus over-clothes for inclement weather and sudden freezes. Think “drops 30 from expected”.
You can do that with surprisingly low bulk stuff. A gortex-ish bivvy bag per passenger covers much. So do “seat protecting” blankets that work wet. A tarp and a bin of bungee cords will turn a wreck back into shelter.
Matches.
A girlfriend on a road trip was amazed at the zip bag of decent TP, hand soap, seat covers, and hygiene supplies.
On the Jag ad: I watched a yt interview with a historian about that H guy ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yjkQZ3MmGgY ) and he makes the point that the electric car mandates, i.e. the “no new fossil fuel vehicles after 2030” type rules, are exactly the sort of government-telling-private-industry-what-they-must-do that the National Socialists under that H guy used to centrally manage their economy.
Stalin’s and Mao’s flavor of international socialism just nationalized everything, but the German National Socialists (the German historian makes the point that the term NAZI was invented by their enemies, they called themselves “National Socialists”) directed and centrally planned their economy, with their four year plans, by simply telling the private companies what to do, with a threat they could be punished up to being nationalized if they did not do as they were told.
I am not sure if it was in this video or elsewhere, but while the British car companies are complying, after a disastrous try at electric cars, the German car companies basically told the government to f right off, and companies like Toyota ignored the battery-electric thing concentrating on hybrids, and are rolling in money.
So the thing that the progressive governments from Britain to California are doing, notably in direct contradiction to what the market is loudly saying it wants, is exactly what the National Socialists would have done, and exactly the way they would have done it.
I”m starting to think that V for Vendetta wasn’t wrong, but pointed in the wrong direction. (Still don’t agree with blowing up the Houses of Parliament, literally, though.)
We’ll be dragged kicking and screaming into any electrical propulsion. Given no alternative, we’ll go not-plug-in-hybrid before any plug in requirement (full or not).
Jacksonville has had noticeable snow/ice twice in the last 60 years. My brother said it was a lot like watching bumper cars. (No plows, no salt, no snow tires, no chains, no sense).
People in Ashland, OR were complaining about the 40F morning temps. We admitted that $TINY_TOWN’s morning temperature was in the low teens that day. Silence. Blessed silence. :)
Highlander: The French Animated Series is pretty good. But it’s basically an alternate universe.
Sean Connery’s character magically survives into the apocalyptic future, where he finds a new McLeod kid born, and the kid also has a little sister and a magical pet. The parents are kidnapped and/or missing.
There’s an evil immortal who’s taken over the world, and all the other immortals basically have a plan to take him down. But it’s a very long term plan. Also the kid has to be the one to take the evil immortal down, so he has to survive to adulthood and learn how to swordfight.
No actual chopping off of heads, because it’s a kid’s cartoon.
It’s a quest, where you visit new post-apocalyptic landscapes every week, and you meet new immortals (who may or may not survive the episode).
Unfortunately, it was really hard to see on TV, and then you had to hope they showed the series in chronological order. But it really was pretty good.
The script to Highlander 3 was not godawful (never actually watched the film), which makes it infinitely better than 2, but it was by Brad Mirman, a screenwriter with no discernible talent and therefore a long, though patchy, career in Hollywood. Mirman’s early films include the Madonna-starring Body of Evidence, featuring the unique legal theory that a woman can murder a man using sex as the weapon (and nothing else), and the serial killer chess movie Knight Moves, which is as silly as it sounds.
The only reason I know of Mirman, though, is that he was the very first screenwriter to share his screenplays on the internet, circa 1994, and was a good sport about chatting with wannabe screenwriters.
The local Mexican restaurant has basically invented Mexican poutine.
You get a whole bunch of meat and cheese on top of fries. I ordered the birria and fries. Holy cow, so good. I need to get this for my dad, who doesn’t like spicy.
There’s also chicken and fries, and some other variants. I think they must have run out of ingredients and invented this, or hired a teenager who was let loose in the kitchen.
The local taqueria does mexican fries (or chips, but Mexican Fries!) with beans, salsa, guacamole and a choice of meat. Loved the carne asada and the adobada, but had to stop when one of the ingredients got made with wheat flour. My GI system took great offense, needing 5 days to, er, get my sh!t together.
Re: the Stargate post – Stargate outside dimension: 22 feet (6.7 meters in the obscure French system); SpaceX Starship hull dimension: 29’ 6” (9 meters in the o.F.s.)
I was somehow unaware that Frank Frazetta’s family now has an online shop at frazettagirls.com.
It even includes a few work-safe art prints, including “Give Me Barabbas” (an illustration of a Bible tv movie) and “Madam Derringer,” which is a picture of a fully dressed, fully armed Victorian lady. All the other prints are basically not work-safe, but very beautiful.
There are also a broad variety of other goods with extremely well done images, including the adult and much better crafted version of Burger King glasses, and a couple of Conan Christmas tree ornaments. (Probably a nice addition to a Jesse tree, too. One could be Ehud the assassin of King Eglon, and the other one could be a mighty man of some sort. You could change it every year.) A lot of stuff is on sale at deep discounts.
That’s assuming the government obeys the law. When was the last time we saw that happen? Right here in the U.S. the Georgia state government is still trying to get around a court order to not count illegal votes.

Luckily, there was a water source close, and he had a bucket, so only minor damage, and I was able to tow him the mile or so to the local Sears. Sears replaced it for free, after the sales manager was finally convinced that it happened; the empty battery case with the side blown out was eloquent.😉 Never learned how it happened; my best guess was an internal short of some kind.
LikeLike
Internal short with just enough hydrogen gas above the electrolyte. I’ve seen it happen at least a dozen times, usually in the winter when the fluid was low or partially frozen. The explosion of a big old battery for a Gradall excavator is impressive, and messy. Can also happen if you’re fast charging a battery. Had a friend of the family lose an eye when he was doing that and bumped the terminal clamps while bending over the battery.

Avoiding such is one of the reasons why I have the solar system (lead acid–not going to mess with Lithium) batteries in a box vented to the outside, and why the electrolyte gets topped off monthly for the pumphouse, and 4 – 6 weeks for the backup system that uses L16 batteries with a whole lot more electrolyte than the Trojans in the pumphouse.
LikeLike
Sounds right; I’d just never seen it happen before (or since). I keep a trickle charger on the battery in the car that only gets used occasionally, but I’ve always been very careful about flame/sparks around lead-acid batteries, and about connecting the negative cable on a “real” charger far away, and last. Can’t do a lot about internal shorts, though…😒

Loved our 2000 Dodge Durango. Smaller than current versions. At the time we needed 2 4×4’s, occasionally. One seatbelts, the other haul capacity. Involved in scouting. Question wasn’t if we were driving, it was which was needed. Seatbelts or Haul, or both (either could tow). Too often it was both (unfortunately in our small unit there were only a few safe vehicle available, and we had half of them). Not that 4×4, or extra bit of clearance, was “required” (spring use of Murnane all but requires 4×4 to get out of that valley), but made driving some roads a lot easier.

Yes, met the specs all the way around for our ’08 Komfort TrailBlazer. The problem was “Barely” for the total max tow rating. We compensated by not fully loading water when hauling distances. But in the end we traded for the 2010 Chevy 1/2 ton xCab whose specs gave us a lot more wiggle room. Lost the comfort ride, especially if sitting in the back seat (better than the old benches), could feel the tow more.

Forget exactly when they “retooled” the Dodge Durango. But when they did it went substantially bigger, longer and wider (mid-size pickup bigger VS small pickup sized). Which was weird because it was already a 3 row vehicle. Granted the cargo area was almost non-existent with the 3rd seat in use.
Hyunadai has done the same with the new 2025 Santa Fe’s. Sigh. Our criteria for the Santa Fe types were “how long is the ‘cargo area’ with the middle seat area down”. Had to be 6′ 6″. Our emergency bunk if caught out on the road on trips. Hubby is 6′. Haven’t needed to use it. Plus we love the hidden bin storage in the actual cargo area, which we use to travel. Hubby’s camera bag goes under there, as does my laptop. Also where we put the hiking boots until we use them.

First one was hanging off the edge of the road by 3/4 of the smallish car, luckily more or less embedded into the soil on the edge (probably 30′ down to the water, which would have been more than enough to swallow the car). Other two cars were stopped. Checked cell coverage. There at least was some. People already out of cars, including driver (passenger?), with cell phones, one person waving on other cars. We did not stop (what are two out of shape 65+ non-medical going to add?). Would have if we’d been first on the scene, but we weren’t. Did not see the cause. Probably an animal they swerved to miss. Or why one does not swerve to miss animals. OTOH a week since famous grizzly 399 was killed 30 miles south of Tetons National Park.

$SPOUSE and I were coming back from Medford one winter. Coming off the Cascades, there’s a 2 mile 6% grade with curves and no passing. A Corvette did that fine, but got anxious at the bottom flat. We saw the car: rear end up an embankment, nose 5′ from the pavement (car orthogonal to the road) and a very sheepish looking driver.
We had our first major snowfall last Sunday/Monday. I had to drive the snow-tireless Honda and was careful. Normally, I’d consider 45 mph in the Nat’l Forest, but was behind a couple drivers doing 25-30. (Knowing $TINY_TOWN, the lead vehicle had balding std tires.) Somebody else got excited earlier, and were in the ditch, cuddled to a bank. The driver’s door probably would not open, due to the bank and the spinout.
After the forest, I finally got tired of following and passed the vehicles. Doing 50 on wet (no longer icy–microclimates for the win) was a lot better than 35.
In town, somebody else managed to spin out on the 4 lane road out of town. Flat and straight, but he got one rear tire way off the road. Sigh. The first snowfall is always interesting. I had the ham radio tuned to EMS on the slave channel, and the services were quite busy.

On the Jag ad: I watched a yt interview with a historian about that H guy ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yjkQZ3MmGgY ) and he makes the point that the electric car mandates, i.e. the “no new fossil fuel vehicles after 2030” type rules, are exactly the sort of government-telling-private-industry-what-they-must-do that the National Socialists under that H guy used to centrally manage their economy.
Stalin’s and Mao’s flavor of international socialism just nationalized everything, but the German National Socialists (the German historian makes the point that the term NAZI was invented by their enemies, they called themselves “National Socialists”) directed and centrally planned their economy, with their four year plans, by simply telling the private companies what to do, with a threat they could be punished up to being nationalized if they did not do as they were told.
I am not sure if it was in this video or elsewhere, but while the British car companies are complying, after a disastrous try at electric cars, the German car companies basically told the government to f right off, and companies like Toyota ignored the battery-electric thing concentrating on hybrids, and are rolling in money.
So the thing that the progressive governments from Britain to California are doing, notably in direct contradiction to what the market is loudly saying it wants, is exactly what the National Socialists would have done, and exactly the way they would have done it.

The only reason I know of Mirman, though, is that he was the very first screenwriter to share his screenplays on the internet, circa 1994, and was a good sport about chatting with wannabe screenwriters.
