Mark Twain wrote, ‘I fell into a river in California and got all dusty.’

‘Truth or Consequences’ challenged a contestant to ‘float’ the LA river from the Sepulveda Dam to the Pacific. His boat came with wheels and a sail.

I’m an Orioles fan. When I was living in Pasadena in the '70s, I took the bus to Anaheim to see them play the Angels. I went for the Saturday night game, spent the night in the Santa Ana river, went to the morning game Sunday. An old guy with a spare ticket for a box seat gave it to me.

It was a few feet lower than street level, had trees and bushes on the banks, which made it significantly quieter and darker and cleaner. Of course it was as dry as a bone.

hidden post . . . :laughing:

Let’s bring it back to Cadillac . . .

Near work, there’s a homeless guy who literally lives in his Cadillac Eldorado Biaritz

it’s obviously not in good shape . . .

I suspect it was “hidden” because it was considered political

On the other hand, I responded to Docnick’s post, which was also hidden

I didn’t entirely agree with his post . . . but if you read it closely, you’ll see that I agreed with much of it

I don’t see anything offensive in either of the posts, but I suppose somebody might flag both of them as “off topic” . . .

I’ll survive :smiley:

The homeless guy’s car looks like this

I do give you credit for coming back to Cadillac. :slight_smile:

and @VOLVO_V70 The posts about the up-from-your-bootstraps/personal responsibility dimensions of poverty were flagged as being off-topic, not offensive.

as far as bike lanes go, they put in a bunch of them in Lancaster PA, problem is they’re painted (the lanes are painted green). When it rains or is slightly damp from the evening dew they are extremely slippery so most bikers around here ignore them if it’s not nice and sunny out. I’d be curious if anyone was tracking the number of bike vs auto incidents from before they installed the lanes vs after installing them

speaking of the Cadillac brand . . .

any of you guys ever spend time on that “Jalopnik” website . . . ?

They’ve been savaging the brand lately, apparently with good reason

I’ll say one thing . . . we’re angels compared to that website. It’s quite salty, if you get my meaning. Both the writers AND the guys who make comments
