With the addition of Mizzou, the SEC will now be the Southeastern & Carpetbagger Conference. :S

Mizzou is making a big mistake leaving the Big 12. They'll figure it out eventually.

Old VW Bug

Posted By Rex Cox

Nice looking little Bug. Looks about a 69 or 70 model. I owned two back in college, and had a love-hate affair with both. They were economical and they were cheap and easy to work on. However, I was constantly working on them, regularly having to set the points, adjust the valves, replace the throttle cable, replace the steering damper, and fix numerous other Bug anomalies--all on a regular basis. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and not much in the way of a defroster. I remember having to use a DC hair dryer to keep the windshield clear in winter. In their defense, I suppose I probably drove them a bit harder than they were meant to be driven.

But my dad dearly loved VW Beetles. He's always been something of a minimalist, so they held a special appeal to him. He once rebuilt one from the wheels up just for fun.

Your Worst Delivery Nightmare

Posted By Rex Cox

About five weeks ago, there was yet another story on the local news about a person here in Oklahoma City who videoed a FedEx driver pitching a computer monitor over a fence onto her porch. Although I've always figured that kind of handling was probably fairly common, it makes me cringe to see footage of it. Just goes to show that if you ship, better pack it to take a real beating.
