    AMC was (were?) particularly adept at slicing and dicing their platforms as the whim struck.

    Only to be eventually one-upped by the Pontiac Aztec.
    The old quip about the Aztek was that a large-scale rendering on paper of the design accidently got folded and creased -- but nobody noticed until it was far too late.

    'Our food doesn't even last the month' - Americans brace for welfare cuts



    gfe1e928lb4h.png

    Jordan and his wife get about $700 a month to feed their family of four, but still struggle

    For some reason, the struggle doesn't seem real....

    If one can't feed a family of 4 with that amount of money for food, then something is amiss. That amount of money would have our family a SURPLUS of food each month. What are they buying? Tomahawk and Wagyu steaks?

    And FWIW, we eat good in this house.

    N.B. As a former substantial citizen myself :blush: I must admit that I have mixed feelings on this topic. That said, I have strong feelings on 'good' vs. 'bad' ways to fix the problem. Hint: taking drugs - even if they work - is probably not the most prudent course of action from my perspective. :/

    Shoot, we spend between 300-400 a week on groceries and we don't buy junk. We do buy premium meats and tons of berries, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Our bread is from a bakery, organic whenever possible and I eat 3 eggs a day plus my wife eats 2 eggs a day. But it all gets eaten. 2 teens and 2 adults.

    You can spend a small fortune on chips, sweets, soda etc etc etc

    The cost of fast food is outrageous

    I drink water from the fridge tap, skip breakfast, eat an apple and banana and a full dinner. Done!

    I am going to add another requirement to this appliance and all other electronic items.

    Although my my vision is almost 20/20 in both eyes, I don't like any item that is all BLACK.

    It seems CONTRAST doesn't work like it used to work.

  • Our friend Mary Holland has a blog called Naturally Curious. Today's post is about the noble moose.

    k5l7gh40sm3k.jpg
    Antlers are the fastest growing tissue in any mammal, and can grow an inch a day. It’s hard to believe, when you see a bull moose in early summer, that by September each of its antlers could weigh 40 pounds. Bull moose spend a quarter of the energy from the 35 pounds of vegetation they eat each day toward growing antlers. Together the antlers gain a pound of bone a day.
