    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm currently being driven insane by people's behavior in parking lots. Pulling into a lot slowly, then stopping halfway across the threshold. People who believe they have enough time to turn in after them are left trapped in new oncoming traffic as they're forced to sit there for another...

    Today in History

    My father was in the infantry throughout. Slept in foxholes in the snow, got a field promotion when his CO was shot dead a foot away from him.

    De Niro's jacket in The Irishman

    Pesci was great, but I started checking my watch as soon as Pacino appeared. Everything he does is the same for years now. I didn't believe any of these old farts as 30 year olds, either. They may have smoothed the wrinkles, but they still moved as stiffly as 70+ year old guys. De Niro is always...

    “Smart” phones

    Of course I think it's a bad idea to do just about anything but drive while you're driving a traditional vehicle. I've passed people with a full four course meal spread out on their dash, eating away at 70+ mph. Cheeseburger in one hand, Big Gulp in the other. Steering with a knee. If you say...

    “Smart” phones

    Honestly people, catch up. Those who cannot attend to business in the car are spoiling it for those who can. People are simply not going to stop doing it.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    The Legendary.... Pencil. The Blackwing 602.

    By Scott Daniels $2,000 worth of pencils. There are, among everyday possessions, those objects which are cherished by their devotees and described with the kind of prose generally reserved for particularly enthusiastic lovers or memorable bottles of scotch. Some may speak of the perfect...
