EXACTLY! Maybe this generation forgets the "Thruway Paper Toll Tickets"... Because of EZ-Pass... Those tickets had printed on them: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE DURING A BREAKDOWN, WAIT FOR HELP I guess paper is good for somethings. My crazy brother, years ago breaks down on Thruway and starts walking. Gets grazed by a mirror. He didn't read the paper toll ticket!

That's insane. Only thing it shows you is that a few have gobs upon gobs of disposable income while many others struggle... Society @ this level isn't sustainable. Like! Same. Bags of them!

The math doesn't lie! BUT, variety is the spice of life! Everyone's a winner under 6 and it won't judge you... LoL... CRANE / DEALT it is!

Wait! The bear was trapped for 6 hours then, finally punched out the window of the car to escape? 6 hours? Is that bear a federal engineer trying to unflip a tractor or a lawyer milking a closing? 6 hours? What it do, take a nap first? I'd hate to see that bear's billable hours!

Disappointed, NOT what I thought this thread was about @. Much better:

And pump out the head!

That was in a Brit driving country. Driving on the left. Looks like Australia. Maybe they were gonna make that left hand turn down side street and bike was in blind spot? When they collided, SUV came back into lane. We don't see rest. .gif cuts out even before side street. Look closely. Brake lights illuminating. Probably hit and then stopped. But we don't know... How stupid it is to have a bike lane. Here, that would have happened on the right. Why would the bike be hovering in a blind-spot with side streets near?

Lane splitting legal in Georgia?

Yet... One the silliest safety campaigns out there: "Look Twice for Motorcycles" Now the advancement of more nonsense w/bicycles. How are people supposed to look twice when they can't see them to begin with! You can look 4 times and nada... And while I am wasting time being OCD looking out for cyclists, that other driver is bearing down on me! Aren't driver's stressed out enough?

All bets off if SW Airlines starts installing Davenports in their planes! I know just the candidate who's up to the challenge! 😉 😆

Yeah! Is there a list of past Wordles? I haven't been playing since day 1. If I was, I'd remember...

Even if I don't know a word, I still plug a spelling in there and see if it "sticks"... @ worse, the game would only reject it! I guess that's a Wordle flaw, even guys with bad diction (me) can still play 😆... Which leaves me with... How da heck are other non-English speaking countries doing so well @ Wordle, probably what I just said. Start plugging letters in. Anyway, I guess I learned (vaguely might have known it) the word: TROPE. 😊

Yeah.. They live on the South Side right near SuperFund sites. Rats of the sky. Ben Franklin pushed for the wild turkey as America's symbol because of the eagle's lack of morality. 😆... "...The eagle has been the nation’s symbol since 1782, when Congress chose its image for the country’s official seal — over the loud protests of Benjamin Franklin, who preferred the wild turkey and called the Bald Eagle a “bird of bad moral character.” ..." I shot this picture back in 2018. Right over the lock... 600mm & teleconveter: At least here they are everywhere. I got pics of them on powerlines, transformers, etc... lol.. "Rambunctious Garden." They are doing quite well. One thing I never realized is they are here year 'round... Just don't see them outside of winter because in winter they become more noticeable around the open waters.

Wrong. They have been off the endangered list since 2007. 15 long years. Chick's gotta be hatching somewhere! Maybe the environment still sucks there. 😉 😜 Msybe I should have said: "Almost everywhere."

Rufus crashes the party... Too many good ones to count! "...I am stuck in your craw Henry Terrill and you can't spit me out... This country is gonna run red with blood till ain't one of us left..."

Eagles are everywhere now. Just goes to show how well our environment is doing. They have to be off the protected, endangered list... Right?

He had a really helpful neighbor. Boy, glad there's people like this around: "...Emily Baxter, who lives across the street from Cruz, said she witnessed the entire encounter. “It all happened so fast,” she said. “I was prepared to call an ambulance if things took a turn for the worse, but Alan had the situation handled within seconds. ...” I bet @BringBackFergy has the ambulance on speed dial too! 😏

Nobody knows today's word let alone starts with it on purpose. It's not a common word. I got it in 1 too after I cleared my browser/cache. 😉 I actually got it in 6 today. I'd make her take a lie detector test. 😉 Anyway. HAIKU might be a good word!

Hope the keys weren't in ignition. Shoulda had one of the kids hold them. Anyway... What's the law with the new fangled proximity key fobs... Can they still nail you for DUI "Bruce Smith Style" if the keys are just in the vehicle? Didn't they have to actually be in the ignition back in the good old days? Yeah! After throwing down a 5th too! What's this world coming to? Who says she was driving drunk. She was sleeping it off!

Believe it or not, your freezer is more efficient with a fully stocked unit. Just make sure it's not too full. After all, if you don't eat it, it's still cold ice. ALSO: Washing machine and bathtubs good vessels for holding potable water during major storms. You're welcome for the Prepper hint of the days!

"The latest fear up there" is the exact quote. Just struck me as smug. Yet... The island countries were freaking out and closing their port of entries during the pandemic. We weren't afraid to cross borders up here! 😉

You should have at least a dry pantry. Can you get through a month without having to resort to living off the land? When I say: "living off the land"... I don't mean barging into your neighbor's house with your 12 ga. and raiding their refrigerator! 😆😉 ...But that comes in handy! At least have some Dasani and ramen for the spring storm season. 😏

Your smugness 😏 is unbecoming. We'll all come down to spend our soon. 😉 😜
