They can, and are. Every time I see something that causes me to say to myself, "People could not possibly get any dumber".... I am proven wrong.

Worse yet, some folks out there take that as a challenge! Remember the whole "eating Tide Pods" trend??

And, since we're apparently providing our transcripts . . . .

A-/B+ student in HS, finished in the top 10 though (144 kids in the class), almost flunked out of college after 2 years of pre-med, moved into archeology and aced everything. Spent 2 years in grad school which is one of the major reasons I dislike academia so much.

For our college reunion this year - virtual, kind of, they did a memory book where members of the graduating class could post about themselves and memories of their time on campus. Most of them related the protests, marches, activist, anti-war crap of the time. I posted about the memorable faculty who actually taught me something, usually something other than the curriculum.
"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do this to others and I require the same from them"

Went 250 miles on the rear tank, got 15.08 mpg and i had 2000# in the bed for 78 of those miles.   Mostly back country  roads at 45-55 mph but thats not bad for an old truck with a .410 rear end.

I have no complaints.  I offically  added it to my insurance policy.  It costs me $78.14.  a year.  2 mil 5 mil un insurred at the same and comp at $250 deductible( $1000 only saved me $.18 a month)


Tires will be here next week.  Rack is 5 weeks out, but thats ok.
