Are you not aware of "summerween"? It is a thing now or so I'm told.

...and the most popular girl? The one who can eat the 12th donut of course.

With the old part in hand and a 3D printer you're pretty much in business.

Paging @Armybrat to the white courtesy phone and other MG freaks. There is a great article in last month's Hagerty's magazine about 2 college students who set off from Boston to Rio de Janeiro in the early 50's in a MG. They traveled over 16,000 miles in 16 countries in 76 days. Somehow, they stumbled right into a small revolution in Guatemala. It is a good read with some really good pictures. If you can't find a copy in a couple of weeks, just let me know and I'll send you mine.

Are you scouting your next victim? Which one is it?

Texas is under the microscope and with the world watching. Political, personal and commercial interests are pointing fingers, not a good look. In using the word "personal", I'm referring to people who did not lose a loved one. Recovery of those who paid the ultimate price should be the focus. Accusations can be dealt with in the future, now is the time to deal with the emergency as it unfolds. I doubt if I live another 40 years to see 100, but I'll bet during the time I have left there will not be a weather system in play that can precisely predict rainfall, wind speed, etc. down to a gnat's ass. The timing of this couldn't have been worse, a major holiday and during the early hours after midnight. I get it, everyone deserves a nice long weekend. We've all heard the "wolf" cry before. Maybe some do leave, most will not. When does personal responsibility and self-awareness kick in? I saw a vid yesterday of a man who lived on the river. During his interview he stated, " I had no idea this could happen". Seriously? This event isn't just about the young lives lost. There are at least another 50 plus out there. I don't pretend to have the most accurate up to the minute count. KFDM is the source I used this morning. Floods in central Texas: At least 82 dead, 10 children missing as search efforts intensify I'm not going to do the math, so if someone pick up the ball and carry the rest of the way it might be interesting to see the numbers. A gallon of water weighs in at 8.34 pounds a gallon. Just how many gallons of water is rushing through the river bottom and at what velocity? This is what pushes cars off the road, folds up canoes like tacos, and sweeps houses from their concrete pads. People need to understand the force/impact water can have. We'll see it again. There will another hurricane or rain event and folks will stay behind. I'll admit it, I've stayed behind. I also found out that a high-end Cat 3 is my limit. No 4's or 5's for this dude. The laws of nature will always supersede the laws of man. We've beat gravity with satellite launches and the like, but eventually they do return to earth. Nature doesn't read the law books or understand edicts or proclamations. Nature uses forces and the X factor. The unknown when and where does is show up? No one can predict that. Who remembers the tsunami that wiped out over 225,000 in the Indian Ocean countries? The earthquake that caused it was 1000 miles away or so. Who can accurately predict the wave height, gallons of water coming, or speed? Maybe we can be close with the estimates. Who can evacuate that many people? Can anyone find enough places for that many people in short notice? Plus, all the other needs, medicine, food, hygiene, etc.? It will never be easy to evacuate a population of any significance. It takes time and that is usually in short supply during an emergency. Someone previously stated something to the effect of "...yeah I turned my phone on do not disturb at bedtime". Yep, I'm guilty of that at times. Anyone else guilty? Hindsight usually has 20/20 vision. Before it is all over there will be plenty of blame to go around. Best of luck, Divine Intervention, or whatever it takes for the recovery teams and to those volunteers putting boots on the ground.

The wife and I just finished season 1 for the first time ever. Loving it. So, just how many cigarettes do you think they smoked making this festival of debauchery?
