I’d love to know what the designers of the Jeep had in mind with the fold-down windscreen. Perhaps easier to carry more equipment or people?
Barb got her first ride in the Jeep today.
I’m still getting used to just how small the Jeep is.
And here’s the boy with his new toy, decked out in his anti-tick treated wood clearing outfit.

Mr. Wolf’s theory is some talented guitarist spotted this and created the soundtrack.

“Is my Jeep trying to kill me?”
A much better “drive” video than mine. Favorite line: “You drive this with the anticipation anytime, anything on this road is going to kill you.”
The United States of Dumb
As a nation of people, the United States is just too stupid to survive.
Jeep: Test Drive #2
In this 3 1/2 min video I take the Jeep for another drive, getting used to a new shifting pattern and the overall ride. My Land Rover cruises comfortably at 40-45 mph, I don’t think I’ll be pushing the Jeep much beyond 35 mph. Have to make sure the brakes are working properly. Currently, I really have to stand on the brake to stop. Once I’m sure I can operate safely, I’ll take the Jeep onto some city streets.

1950s America: Old Gas Stations
We’ve grown accustomed to seeing old cars in period movies and vintage car shows but they never look real to me in those settings. This video (mute the awful music!) shows them as they were. These are images from my youth and –for me– it was a wonderful time.
Bad Lip Reading: The House of Representatives
So many questions. How long does it take to produce one of these? How many voice actors are used? How many of those do more than one voice? Are there out-takes? (God, but I’d love to see those). Do they video the production process? If more than one writer, do they have writer’s meetings?
I took a beer-fueled swing at one of these back in 2006 (think “Really Bad Lib Reading”). A few years later I had a go at a MST3K homage.
“It’s time to pay attention to A. I.”

I confess I haven’t been paying much attention to the ChatGPT phenomenon but the video below is a pretty good explanation.
In a follow-up video (Google Panics Over ChatGPT), we’re told Microsoft CEO Satay Nadella is reported to have said “…its impact will be at the magnitude of the personal computer, the internet, mobile devices and the cloud.” That’s a big impact. Or hyperbole. Or both.
