"Big Brother" is only worrisome until the people figure out they can waggle their collective asses at Big Brother and there isn't a damn thing he can do to stop it.

There should be sympathy cards for returning to work after vacation.

I had a Ford Probe back in the day. Ford almost called the Probe the "Mustang II".
Whew, that was close.

Is that the Probe that used the Mazda MX6 floor pan? If it was, you're right it aint no pony car!
Mrs Lagonda still has her MX6, 26 years old now but she won't part with it. I'm about to spend most of my weekend trying to cure an oil leak down the back of a V6 east-west motor.......

If I understand correctly, the Mazda model the Probe was based on was called the 3 here in the U.S.
I understand why the missus won't part with her MX6 though. I had 350K miles on the odometer when I got rid of the Probe. I was an expert at replacing exhaust parts on that car by then and always kept a distributor cap and rotor with at the end, but that's still the best car I've ever owned.
The only reason I got rid of the Probe is because the slug I was using for work at the time had close to 150K on the odometer, and having half a million miles parked in front of my place made me kind of nervous.

The Old school....

This is the machine where all those double sided OHT's are used...
At least some teachers thought so as you removed the OHT remains out of the fuser.


I believe they are still used to this day for sign writing, arts and graphics projections...

Got back yesterday afternoon from the day trip with the folks to see the relatives in MI.
There had to be the least amount of road construction I've ever seen in the Chicago area ever then. It still sucked though.
The road construction there is kind of like a force field that keeps dopes like me out of Chicago.

At least you all have road construction!! Some of the roads here will take the wheels off your car, the state doesn't even try to fix them anymore.

It's better to drive slow around road construction than it is to drive slow around mine shaft potholes!
