    I love a Good "Good Book" thread

    "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens is worth the read. The movie is good as well.

    4/20

    I've certainly smoked a lot of weed since the late 1970s, but I'm down to about 2-3 times per year nowadays. This newfangled weed they sell in the legal stores in California makes me feel too funny inside. I kind of wish I still liked to smoke regularly; all of the varieties of legal...

    “O.J. Done

    Dude, I binged-watched those five episodes in the past two days and it was incredibly well done. I sort of forgot what a national icon OJ was before he turned into a wife-beater and vicious murderer.

    Divorce Thread better than book thread

    That house is in Dana Point and is anchored deep in bedrock. It isn't even red-tagged. Still, I'm glad I don't own it.

    How many times has your car been robbed while surfing?

    Absolutely yes they will get charged. The toll authority will charge the rental company, which in turn will charge the renter, likely with a markup. That is why rental car companies make you swipe your credit card.
