Those Romans built incredible roads, dead straight with one helluva foundation. They started by digging down about 3 feet and layered up from there.
Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Yea the times we have been to Europe, I noticed overall how much better their roads were in regards to their main roads.

Love them or hate them, it has come to my attention that Crocs have been placed on this planet for the sole purpose of extermination of the human race through "dark space attacks".
Crocs have been shown, repeatedly, while stumbled upon in the dark, especially on a carpeted surface, to transform themselves into rubbery, completely immovable objects.
The true danger lies in the split second following the realization that one has stepped on a Croc in the dark, and the casual assumption that the Croc will yield. This is a mistake! The Croc will not yield. Not EVER! Thus, in your perfectly understandable momentary lapse of judgment, your body's forward momentum continues in its original direction, generally, however one, or possibly both, of your feet do not follow. They cannot. The Croc has you. Next, you may find yourself, not behind the wheel of a large automobile, but instead with your momentum uncontrollably redirected, propelling you at speed through a poorly placed curio cabinet. Then, before you know it, you're in the bathroom taking half naked selfies in the mirror to show off your cool new scars, thinking it'll make you look tough, but instead find yourself ridiculed for posting nip pics.
Or, perhaps you will be catapulted across the space onto your a turntable, ripping the dust cover off its hinges and snapping the tonearm clean off.
These are but two unfortunate examples I have come to hear in the past week.
Know this. Crocs are dangerous. Be vigilant. Know where they hang out. Expect them. Or just put them where they're supposed to go when you take them off. While there's still light. They can only hurt you in the dark. Or if you show up wearing them to a first date. With socks.I disabled signatures. -

That was a sober story, though.
If alcohol were involved, the story would have been the same, I would just have written it in my underwear. And in all caps.I disabled signatures. -
Don't step on a Croc, you'll break your mother's bock.

Getting ready for a "Glamping" trip and hurriedly walked into the home office shortly after relocating a spare sub to a "new" location completely forgot. it was dark. Don't we have a thread for audio gear injuries?
@Hermitism - this is just poetic justice for my jokey allusion to @headrott catapulting himself into a curio, isn't it?
sob.
Whatever. Ref'd one of the SDA magnet shift threads, applied Loctite Powergrab.
This site rocks. Good as new. Messed up my hair though. @F1nut 's would still be perfectly groomed.
Carry on, inmates.

Ginger does have some medicinal properties, useful for increasing blood flow to the extremities
However, I also believe Mary Ann has increased medicinal possibilities. 🤔
(Truth be told, things have been a little slow at the Ponderosa lately so....well... let's not dismiss Mrs Powell too hastily 🤗)

The trend of Korean vehicles with signal lights in the bumper..who the F looks way down there? Bring them back up to eye level.
At the optometrist getting my glasses. In one section of the store there is a platform, with a sign saying watch your step. So you're asking people who have eye issues to read a sign and watch their step...ya good one. Perhaps they should have not designed a platform. -
Re: Silly taillight placement: Remember the GM wagons of the late 70s (or was it early 80s)?
This Malibu is, reputedly, a '79. Besides the visibility issue -- what a dumb place to put breakable bits of plastic, eh? 
EDIT: I guess that innovation predated the downsizing of the "midsized" GM wagons.
(a '77, per google)

I found this in my box of adapters. What is it used for?
