    Out Your Back Door

    We have a big one that hangs around here from time to time. When he's around we watch our mini Doxie closely. I wish I could convince him to hang out somewhere else.

    Tourist cabins, auto and motor courts

    When I was younger I used to travel a fair amount and would look for older motels or travel courts from the 40's or 50's to early '60s to stay at. They were generally clean and reasonably priced. Jump forward 35+ years and motels from the 70s and 80s are generally infested holes that I wouldn't...

    I remember asking Santa Claus for one of those gas pumps. I'm still waiting.

    Vintage Interiors

    The radio appears in a lot of living room scenes, but the furniture could be arranged differently since as you said the room is laid out for conversation and listening, not to make it convenient for all seats to be able to stare at the tube.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I hate buzzwords in general and the Overton window is a popular one that a lot of the users of the term cannot define or explain.There are plenty of tossers to go around across the spectrum. Only the terminology changes. I read as as many or more online sources that I disagree with than those...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I hadn't heard the term since childhood until fairly recently, when as you say, it has become a catchall for "anybody I don't like". My grandfather used it to describe people who were serious criminals or just really, truly rotten people. You had to be really blatantly nasty to earn the "bad...

    Today in History

    ^^^ Listening to Baghdad Bob on the radio during that week was as close to radio comedy that we had heard in a generation.

    Vintage roadside

    Thanks. I was wondering what area that one came from. I usually draw strange expressions when I say soda here. This is a pop area. I personally agree with Lewis Grizzard, if anything it should be called whoosh since that's the sound it makes when you open the bottle.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Our street ends just past our house, hence there is only one way in and out. Our FedEx driver can not understand that our obviously unused front door is not the best place to leave packages. UPS, DHL and all of the others observe our long asphalt driveway with the obvious normal entryway and...

    Please help me date my US military trousers

    I don't know enough about the tag nomenclature to identify the age/version of these, but they were used from Korean War period into the late 1980's. A lot of the surplus ones online are Vietnam era.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I agree with your assessment of Smokey and the Bandit. I was the age of their target audience when the movies came out and I did enjoy the first one. The second was kind of a stinker and I walked out of volume 3. I saw most of the first one again a while back and from this time and distance from...

    Show us your vehicles

    I had a 1978 GMC pickup that if it was shut off while hot would occasionally refuse to crank until it sat for a few minutes. Turn the key and nothing happened. Wait a few minutes and it would start normally. Nobody could ever find the reason for it. I learned after one experience to never shut...
