Glad to hear it. I did see quite a lot of damage in places though.

I think you got more rain than we did. Can you believe that it
originated as a typhoon on the other side of the Pacific? At least it
didn't bring a cold front with it!

Ah well, you are safe. I was checking for posts from you and you

Not only that - if you want cool, put an unopened can of pumpkin on top
of a campfire and stand back. Or...set one on someones stove burner (not
your own) and leave the room for a few minutes.

I had to Google that. Seems there is a B&B book that does have

Lol. That's where my experience with this comes from.
Camping trip in the Boy Scout days. We put a can of
pork & beans on the fire and stood back.

Few minutes later the can exploded, shooting both ends out and the
rounded part stretched out to almost flat. There were beans stuck to all
of the nearby trees and tents. It was fun to do.

We'd also throw hair spray aerosol cans onto the fire...aerosol cans were a fairly new "thing" to play with in the early 60's...

"RUN, kids...RUN...!!!"

The unsafe stuff kids used to do...lol...now they'd call a SWAT team for stuff like that.

I was explaining to a college kid about un-padded car dashes, he could not imagine such a thing..."yup...the dashboard was BARE metal...even on an Impala or a Fury III...unless you paid extra for it..." [then I had to explain what a "Plymouth" was...]

They call the cops if they see kids playing outside by themselves, when
would they get the chance to do anything on their own.

My brothers and I travelled across this great country of ours in the
back of a station wagon with some bedrolls and a few toys. I don't
think the car had seatbelts. Occasionally I'd sit up front with my
parents and help choose what radio station to tune in (they kept fading
in and out as we drove west). Hmmm, that was right around the time
Doris Day was singing reprising 'Que sera, sera, whatever will be will
be..." on the radio. 1968.

That's cuz once you hit the Great Plains states, it's nothing but C&W
music fer entire states. Apparently, yer parents were not major C&W
fans.

BTW, seat belts are not fer yer sake. All safety equipment on cars is
driven by the insurance industry. Air bags, seat belts, etc. are
mandatory so the insurance industry is assured govt is doing all it
can to save the industry from having to actually pay out claims. As a
bonus, LE agencies get to stiff you for even more money fer "failure
to comply".

Everybody wins! .....except you. You jes pay ....or die ina flaming
wreck cuz yer gas tank was poorly engineered.

Yeah, the concept of "just go out and play"...nope, the kiddies must be "entertained", and also hovered over...

LOL A long drive like that is boring. It was 1968. Not a heck of a lot
on the radio in those wide open spaces.

It is now. Definitely not in some of the cars my parents drove us
around in as kids.

The secret was people who believed they were responsible for themselves and

Even here in parts of new England. I'd have to change station on my way
to work from local to Boston and reverse on the way home. Going most
any place more than a few miles I'd be hunting.

I got satellite radio about 6 years ago. For me, well worth the cost as
we can listen to favorite stations for hundreds of miles.

There were probably a lot of stations with low power transmission.
Radio signals don't travel very far. You would be driving in an out of
range for a number of stations.

Take off the tinfoil hat NB. Seatbelts save lives and prevent injuries.
I don't doubt that insurance companies might have lobbied for them but
that does not change the fact that you are far better off to be strapped
into a car than to fly through the windshield or to get thrown out onto
the road and slide along or get hit by another vehicle. During my
working years I attended enough serious accidents to see that happens to
people in serious collisions.

Self-driving cars will pretty much make automobile insurance a thing of

Give it a rest, Dave! Please point out where I disputed seat belts
are effective?

Yeah. One comedian does an entire bit on this nonsense:

"I recently got stopped by a cop. He asked me if there was any
reason I was not wearing a seatbelt. I told him, 'Yeah, I'm married!.
What!? They think my body goes through the window and continues on
--like some kinda heat-seeking missle-- and plows into a child care center,
taking out the entire class?"

> During my working years I attended enough serious accidents to see

Which auto companies have acknowledge they've made poor choices in
design?

I've driven enough yrs to know even a minor accident can be dangerous.
I hit a tree when I skidded on a patch of ice. I was going about
10mph. I had my seatbelt on and didn't even get a bruise. My mom had
removed her seatbelt (unbeknownst to me) and ended up with a cracked
patella (knee cap), which my insurance fully covered.

In the meantime, Ford, Chevy, Jeep/Chrysler (did I miss anyone?) have
all been heavily sued for poor gas tank design. Ppl have died in
flaming wrecks, ferchrysakes, caused by these unsafe gas tanks! Yet,
the auto companies refuse to acknowledged such safety issues cuz govt
wouldn't push it.

Plus, LE does not have any way to fine the driver fer dying in a
flaming wreck caused by poor gas tank design. Hard to squeeze cash
out of a corpse. Am I seeing a conspiracy?

No, but the election is rigged! Jes ask Drumpf.

how many people die every year in flaming wrecks due to "poor gas tank
design"?

You got internet access. Look it up!

You can start with the Ford Pinto. Remember Ford pickups and their
flaming tanks? I think about 150 ppl burned to death before Ford
would even acknowledge the issue. Plastic gas tanks on Dodge vans,
plastic tanks and poor location on Grand Cherokees..... the list goes
on.
