“And in this state almost all the food banks, charities, and Ebt cards / welfare go to people WHO DONT BELONG IN THIS COUNTRY. “
I volunteered with an OC food bank a couple of years ago and it sure seemed like the majority of those waiting in line weren’t fluent in English.
This was a private sector food bank but it’s just as bad in gov’t agencies where no one is allowed to ask if you are here legally.

I loved Packards. A 1955 Packard Caribbean like the one above was the
first car I ever saw that used the color scheme that was so wildly popular
at the time --- pink and black. And the car's styling was stunning.

A colleague of mine (energy professional) sold the house around 1980, bought a sailboat, packed the wife and three kids aboard, and sailed the world for a couple of years. They would put in port somewhere and he would do something remote consulting work before pressing on. This was pre-internet, pre-email days, mind you, so it was telex and fax! He is the only guy I know who had the courage to do it.

That’s just a solar-powered low wattage fan. They’d be better served turning it around and blowing hot air out of the interior in my opinion. Not parking in the sun in the first place would be an excellent start, shaded parking spots are the first to go in hot sunny regions, rather than the closest parking spots. You see the cars and trucks scattered across the parking lot huddled around landscaped islands with trees with a barren desert of asphalt in between, lol.

Well, I am about to be divorced. My future ex-wife has shown zero interest in me for over 5 years; barely talking about the kids, bills, whatever, during that time. I’d rather be alone for the right reasons, than be with someone for the wrong reasons.

I hope it works out for you, but if when you get over 50 people start looking at you different when you come looking for a job. Think about the Obama years. How many times were we told by HR types “WE don’t even consider resumes from people who have been laid off.”

A ‘56 Crown Vic would’ve made a fine-looking Ranchero too, but they didn’t come out with one until ‘57. Just crop the roof to follow the chrome bar running up and over the roof, then extend the “bed” after removing the trunk and putting a bed liner of some sort in there. Surprised nobody has done that, it would look very natural. A neighbor in my teen years collected Crown Vics, he had several with the green plexiglass roof section, even a ‘54 on the older body style. The black ‘56 with two tone black and white interior was the prettiest, but he could only drive it in winter, too hot any other time, especially with the plexiglass roof. No A/C.

She could just be clinically depressed, not showing interest in anything, including the kids and bills.

The Who
"Goin' Mobile"
I'm goin' home
And when I wanna go home
I'm goin' mobile
Well, I'm gonna find a home
And we'll see how it feels
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'
I can pull up by the curb
I can make it on the road
Goin' mobile
I can stop in any street
And talk with people that we meet
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'
Out in the woods
Or in the city
It's all the same to me
When I'm drivin' free, the world's my home
When I'm mobile
Hee, hoo!
beep beep!
Play the tape machine
Make the toast and tea
When I'm mobile
Well I can lay in bed
With only highway ahead
When I'm mobile
Keep me movin'
Keep me movin'
Over 50
Keep me groovin'
Just a hippie gypsy
Come on move now
Movin'
Keep me movin', yeah
Keep me movin', groovin', groovin', yeah
Movin', Yeah
Mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, ...
I don't care about pollution
I'm an air-conditioned gypsy
That's my solution
Watch the police and the tax man miss me
I'm mobile
Oooooh, yeah, hee!
Mobile, mobile, mobile yeah

Remember the Skyliner? Hard top convertible that was marginally more
popular than the Edsel, which was described as an Oldsmobile sucking on a lemon. LOL
But what I'd
really like to have is ...
...a Chrysler gas turbine.
To: ichabod1
Oh, I know. Thanks! Worst comes to work I can always get a gig in a document review sweatshop, bang out 2000 hours and make a decent living.
To: johniegrad
Age doesn’t matter. If the mortgage isn’t paid, the lender gets the house. It’s just money...
