I have not heard from him. I thought he might be taking a break.

I get my 2010 Ford Escape (manual transmission) serviced per Ford guidelines: 15K, 30K, 45K, 60K...

I'm at 120K.

I got an estimate for 60K service. The dealership near me said $815.00

I paid like $350 for the 60K in 2016. I called the dealership in Tacoma where I usually have service and they said the 60K is now $1200.

eek2 , gobsmacked , crazy , Hmm

Most of the residents now are not Danish, but the village is filled with Danish architecture and they have had several visits from Danish royalty! Fun place to visit, but it's more 1911 Denmark than modern Denmark. I've been to both.
I spelled the city wrong, it's...Poulsbo, WA.

Did I complain here about my Prius door lock cylinder? Toyota quoted me $723 for replacement. I ordered a new aftermarket one on ebay for $23. Took me about 5 minutes to install it. Works fine and looks like the original.

Two very talented and strong women have died recently: Joan Didion and now, Betty White.

Rest in peace ladies.

Kenji, he's active on FB as of today. Maybe he's tied up with family and friends for the holidays.

Betty White played several characters on TV, Sue Anne Nivens on Mary Tyler Moore and Rose Nyland on Golden Girls are two examples.

Of those two characters, the Sue Ann NIvens character is my favorite.

This is one of my most favorite Sue Ann episodes:

Good night and sweet dreams. I love cinnamon Jamaica. I also love the old body surfing waves that I owe so much and miss.

It's inevitable.
