RoAb #18 – The ‘Not What it Seems’ Episode
Things are not always what they seem. For instance, you might think this episode is nearly a week late. Wrong as usual, idiot. We were planning to do this episode a year from now, so technically it’s early. Why are you so offended? Clearly you are unfamiliar with the word “idiot’s” Greek roots. I was [...]
Mustang Fever: The Car That Won’t Go Away (Hopefully)
For full disclosure, I have to confess to having a lot of history with the Ford Mustang in my driving life.
My parents had a 1967 yellow Mustang that I drove quite a lot! It carried Heidi, the 1984 Goddard High School Homecoming Queen, on the back in the parade down Main Street in my hometown [...]
