My dad lost 1/4 of his H.S. graduating class to auto accidents. My class lost 0.2%.

Sorry, WW, can't agree (though, initially, I was just cheesed-off by having "liberal" bad-mouthed) :)

Speaking as a card carrying bleeding heart liberal, that man would get my vote too... Big Time!

Re: Sad and Bad
Is that how you see it, WW; to clothe, house, and feed someone for 50 years without some damn good benefit to the community that's paying for it is being a "liberal bleeding heart"?

Re: Active noise-cancelling earphones?
That's probably the most significant advice given.
The first noise canceling speaker system I ever heard of came with the Lotus from several years back. And they're kinda' fun to drive, to :)

Re: Road trip San Diego CA to Albuquerque NM
I suggested a mechanical foot pump because they are not limited to how many times you can inflate the tire. I also suggested a compression driven engine-pump, because he has two cylinders. I would...

Re: Road trip San Diego CA to Albuquerque NM
I'm a bit of a minimalist. With that in mind, here's what I'd be taking:
Cell phone. Turn it off when you aren't checking messages.
The usual spare bulbs and fuses.
