Tried to beat a green arrow just turning yellow and a Yonkers traffic cam caught me rushing to work in not the right manner. 65 simolians if you count some kind of surcharge. Trying not to pack too many miles on the HR-V just yet. It's amazing take a few trips to Carmel and the Danbury Mall how fast you rack up the miles! My friend says Google has a compensating search engine. Type in anything and stuff comes up. I haven't tried it but "boogers for breakfast" is sure to bring up some hits.

But if you like your metro area there, and want to make<br />extra $$$, you could simply drive 83,333 Uber trips. Long wear tires recommended. :)BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388509941702241290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33132083.post-65208735268119021072017-10-19T18:21:23.768-05:002017-10-19T18:21:23.768-05:00With the tech on modern cars you have to read the ...With the tech on modern cars you have to read the manual over and over...and over.

It's really cute and how can you argue with a Honda? You will get great mileage and great reliability. If you make it to a million miles Honda will buy it back from you (no joke, they really will) so get to driving.<br /><br />Name changing on roads: I guess if it's a brand new bridge it needs a brand new name but it always seems odd to me. In Wilm they renamed Smith Creek Parkway to MLK Jr Blvd. It'll always be Smith Creek Parkway to me. Maybe this is a function of getting older?<br /><br />I am beginning to sense that the beginning of the end is coming for Trump. Tillerson won't deny that he called Trump a moron and no flak is coming from the GOP about it. Presumably they all think he's a moron. You have to wonder what McCain is thinking about all of it and really whether quite a few of the GOP establishment is looking at the 25th Amendment.<br /><br />I got an Oster breadmaker for my birthday. I had an old Panasonic but this is a hundred times better; it has a setting where you can get a loaf of bread in an hour. It's like magic. Making bread is easy enough but it's nice to have it all done with no mess and fuss. It even has a delay timer so you can have bread ready when you get home.<br /><br />I am a firm believer in a landline. We have to have one because our cell signal is so bad but I think we'd keep one anyway. For the same reason I have a rotary phone. It works when the power goes out.<br /><br />Cars now have all the bells and whistles. We bought mine used but it was loaded so I have every option that it can have. I like the backup camera but I don't exactly trust it. Navi is a must anymore although some people just use their phones. And I am a huge fan of the heated seat. Subaru isn't known for their technology so it's lightyears behind say a Honda or a Toyota (and my car is 3 years old now so you know the tech is practically obsolete). I don't use the cruise control much either, I feel more connected to the car when I'm actually driving it myself. I do use it on long trips. Scott has cruise in the Toyota which is a manual transmission and that just seems counterintuitive to me. But overall I like the tech that these cars come with. It sure is a long reach from my 55 Bel Air.Satyavati devi dasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980257934310271457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33132083.post-78318408533378555322017-10-18T11:05:10.223-05:002017-10-18T11:05:10.223-05:00Four US soldiers killed in Nigeria.

It's a stylish hatchback and paid 27G. I had saved a bit over the years. So there's the Owner's Guide which came with the car and the more detailed Owner's Manual which I downloaded today from the Honda website.
