Of course Steve "Reality Distortion Field" Jobs said "the 60s really happened in the early 70s..."

Did it take that long to regain consciousness [of the standard sort]...?

The biggest selling style of music sold in the 1960s was easy listening.

So maybe.

I just had an odd realization today.

I stop at my local gas station on a fairly regular basis. They have good coffee. And here's a strange one... really good egg rolls! Always good for a bite on the go.

I also stop there for air for my tires. (The other stations CHARGE you for it!)

So, what I realized today is that I very seldom actually GET GAS when I'm at the gas station.

You might be an Ecomodder if you only ever get gasoline about 20% of the time that you are even AT the gas station!

(And yes, that' in the gas vehicle, not the electric one!)

YKYAEM, when this video, intended to be a prank, reminds you of some fellow EM'ers.

A/C? He doesn't need that. Stereo? he doesn't need that, either.

The funny thing is, we actually don't need most of that stuff.

Probably the cars don't have LRR tyres
