The road is lava
They’re not scared, the city simply doesn’t have the money. I’ve seen the fire department filling potholes. Euclid ave has been fixed up. Terrace has been blocked off, I used to see cars driving on the sidewalk to avoid the pot holes
I pocket these whenever they’re available for free in places where I work. Recently downloaded a free app that measures decibels and was amazed.
Hearing loss is different from other things they warn you about. Get something in my eye? Guess I’ll start wearing eye protection. Back hurts? Guess I’ll start lifting with my knees. Hearing loss is different. You won’t lose your hearing, you’ll lose the ability to understand what people are saying in a noisy environment, it hurts you socially. Having to say “huh?” repeatedly is embarrassing, it makes you withdraw.
The spicier the better. Blenheim red cap is best if you can find it
Years ago my dad and I were working on something and he stood up after having been kneeling on the ground. He made a series of moans and grunts on the way up and I asked “Dad how old are you?”. “Thirty” he said. After that I thought life was over after thirty. Boy, was I wrong. Also I’ve been making the same groans when I stand up for the past twenty years regardless if something hurts or not
Ham and cream corn
I can do the same by cupping my hand in my armpit then jerking my arm down like a chicken wing real fast. Is this still a thing? I haven’t been a kid since the 70’s
You’re getting down voted but no one has answered you.
I’ve done a few trips. When everything is on time it’s a great experience IMO. When it’s running late it can suck. A few things I tell interested people:
Have a different mindset compared to flying. A plane trip is hectic and cramped but it’s over in a few hours, it’s a means to getting somewhere. Your vacation begins when you land. On a train the voyage is part of the vacation. It’s chill and you’ll meet nice people.
Amtrak has a website where you can see where the trains are at in real time. It’ll tell you if they are on time or how late they are running. This is real nice because you can put off going to the station if they are hours late. The first time I rode they didn’t have this yet and we felt trapped.
I got the small room (Roomette I think?) twice. It’s small but so am I. It’s two seats facing one another that fold down into a one person bed. Another bed folds down overhead. I got my parents a full size room for their 50th anniversary. It was nice but they spent their awake hours entirely in the observation car.
In my experience their wifi sucks but may have improved. Download books and movies in advance.
Bring your own drinks and snacks! Two meals a day were included with the rooms.
When I took the Coast Starlight I watched a YouTube video in advance that gave good advice about when and where to sit in the observation car for seeing Mount Shasta.
Safe travels!
Oops I meant to say “aren’t” not “are” but I think you got the idea
That’s why every band has a leader and a handful of other people that don’t understand why their ideas aren’t being acted on. Same thing happens in other group scenarios
Complete Control by The Clash
I was a young adult at the time (born in 66 so GenX for whatever it’s worth). My take is the LAPD as a whole were despised and not just along racial lines. Watch any documentary on the early SoCal punk scene and you’ll see what I mean
Snapping Turtles are remarkably fast in shallow water. I however am faster
There are still uncontacted tribes?
In 5th grade Catholic middle school they show us an anti drug movie hosted by Rosey Grier. There’s clips of people going through withdrawal, photos of people who smuggled drugs under incisions in their skin, all kinds of horrible stuff. It was similar to the real life gore movies they used to show during driver’s ed classes. They did apologize after realizing they messed up. It’s no wonder I didn’t try weed until I was 18. I haven’t been able to find this on the internet

Ha! I knew you love me !
