a blast from the past...

my driver's ed car model circa 1967, pride of Chrysler's sprawling Belvedere, Illinois plant...  several empty beer cans of assorted brands were found inside the front fenders when the car was finally "decommissioned".  i passed driver's ed with its help and Mr. F. at my side.  it was a great car in that if you hit something, (stationary or moving, it didn't matter) you had no way of knowing you had, except the beer cans rattling in all four fenders gave it away.  an exchange student from budapest once commented to me that it reminded him of a very large ping pong table or an aircraft carrier. he had a point.


the driving experience was similar to commanding The Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier which is the largest aircraft carrier in the world by length. 
for further edification: While the Nimitz class firmly held its reputation as the largest in the world for a number of years, it was outdone in 2017 when the Ford class entered service. These massive aircraft carriers are also the most expensive warships ever commissioned by the US Navy.


 it got great mileage tho'....about 7 mpg if i remember right.

JUST SAYIN' OPINION COLUMN by Morris Mishegoss, your Ed.

when you retire everyone still in the workforce eventually asks you "what do you do with all your free time?"  quizzically, i respond with "what free time?" exactly like the modern American economy, 17% of my time (and even higher percentage, money) is spent on healthcare. 15% of my time is navigating (& lately, fighting) with my healthcare insurance provider and it's partner in torture, abuse and incompetence, the totally broken american healthcare system it feeds on. 14% of my time is being stupid and getting caught in rush hour traffic. and, the rest 33% spent sleeping (god willing.)  if my calculator is correct, that leaves me with 21% of my time to do what i want.  it was then that one asks oneself: "maybe i should go back to work full time and i'll have more free time?"  but, like so many things in life, you just don't ever get around to it, and then you die and you realize that time has no meaning.       just sayin'.

 Roz Chast --------------------------------------------------------------- a very  HOPPY STORY  for Easter 🐰🐰🐰🐰 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ (special advice column contribution) How to Be a Happy 85-Year-Old (Like Me) April 13, 2025, By Roger Rosenblatt & Tommy Shelby Mr. Rosenblatt is the author of “Rules for Aging.” Tommy Shelby is a complex dude in Pinky Blinders. Roger: In 2000, I published a book called “Rules for Aging,” a sort of how-to guide for navigating the later years of one’s life. I was 60 at the time and thought that I knew a thing or two about being old. Twenty-five years later, I just finished a sequel, which reflects my advice for growing very, very old. (I have been doing a lot of that lately.) It took me 85 years to learn these things, but I believe they’re applicable at any age. 1. Nobody’s thinking about you. It was true 25 years ago, and it’s true today. Nobody is thinking about you. Nobody ever will. Not your teacher, not your minister, not...

EH S2 E5 about a Commotion at the home office

  well, today here at ELDER HOSTILE we had some excitement on the working floor.  emergency delicate C-section surgery was performed on  our employee who works as a contracted & hourly basis in the airfreight transportation department.  it was totally unexpected but something we had to do; there were no alternatives left for us.  she was fully dilated and making a racket "cheep, cheep, cheep" for four hours of full-throated non-stop labor.     All's well that ends well though.  Here is Clara in recovery at 1:02 pm with her new brood of 3.  They are thriving & ready to tackle climate change, the poison around them, and the asshole homo sapiens out there creating it.  Life is a miracle, eh? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ here at ELDER HOSTILE, our crack research team has come up with a new Homo sapiens evaluation spectrum to add to the myriad of spectrums now in use here in the first quarter of the 21st century.  who thou...
