    @Jolly said in James May drives the Cybertruck: a lower key, car review and enthusiast show in a 30 minute forma And that is why I didn't enjoy the later years of Top Gear and The Grand Tour. The shows weren't about cars, despite the petrol gear-head presenters. The shows were about 3 likable guys doing wacky, pre-staged, sort-of-but-not-really dangerous stunts in obscure locations in the world. Gimme cars.

    Interesting. My dad told me you he remembered seeing the glow in the sky when it burned down from where he lived 15 miles away.

    It’s one of the 16 checks I write per year, which will go down to 4 checks a year in a month.

    @Horace said in Run for your life! (Prank): I like the jump that might dislocate a knee or ankle 10% of the time. Practical jokes are so funny. Golf can be dangerous.

    I think this shows how enough Soros money and enough brain dead idiots can astroturf almost any issue.

    No. The only Bears I watched lost to the Texans.

    When we drove long distances with assorted animals (from Ontario to Massachusetts with a dog, a cat and a 2 year-old toddler), we most definitely did not use re-circulate. The smell became quite interesting over time.

    @George-K said in It's Bunday!: What kind of a pen do you have him in? A folding plastic B.S. one. We got it because it's big, though, and we put a blanket over top if we need him to stay there. On the walls, though, a lot of chew toys hang, plus he's got his cups and such.

    @George-K said in The Day of the Jackal: Why does the rifle look so funky? It's because it was smuggled in, in pieces, in a crutch. Yup. I remember that from teh book. He made himself look like a cripple old man.

    If you see any Biden signs make sure you check on the homeowner.

    Sorry to hear, but you're strong. You probably picked it up from one of those Five Guys 3 guys and a gal.

    @jon-nyc said in 44 & 60: I’d be curious how people here relate this broad averages with their own experience. I saw quite a decline in my early 40s but I’m a special case in that regard. Advancing lung disease overwhelmed whatever ‘normal’ decline I might have experienced. I think it's fairly true, as a general rule. Even most professional athletes show marked shifts in ability in their mid-thirties and the person who can still compete at 40 is a rare bird. I know that as I turned 40, I just didn't have the energy or stamina I had when I was younger. Until almost 60, I was ten feet tall and bulletproof. From 1980 until 2017, I took 3 sick days off from work. Since then, things have gone downhill and I've had a couple of serious problems with more niggling, chronic ailments. Which stands to reason, I reckon. Most older folks don't die from a single, catastrophic disease, but eventually succumb to several things being stacked up, until we get to the proverbial straw. I think we just wear out. I don't know how many people have told me not long before they died, just how worn out and tired they were. How to stay younger? I think we're on the right road... Genetics play a huge part, along with nutrition and exercise.

    @Jolly said in We're Going To Rock Down To.................... Electric Avenue: The royalties are usually set by who owns the catalog. That's right. Didn't Michael Jackson own the Beatles' catalog for a while?
