Westworld would be fun! But long term I think a Stepford wife would work out better.

Quite the conflagration.

Since it was assembled with hot glue, I'm a bit surprised it did not fall apart.

Had he left a source of O2 inside the ball, she’d have burnt better.

Kinda looked like it was rotating because of the wind/smoke pattern towards the end. Kool.

I don't think it showed how he lit it. A BB gun would have been effective.

Ever shoot match heads out of your BB gun?

No, but now I feel the need to try Bill.

On another video he tried several times to light it (the ball) with a match but he didn’t let the match catch and burn some wood before touching off the ball. Finally he was successful.

Lol, why not?

SAN FRANCISCO — “I gave Amazon the keys to my car last week, and it went pretty well.

Not that Amazon needed a lift (and the actual key was a digital one.) I was testing a new program, launching Tuesday, that lets Amazon drivers unlock a customer's vehicle via an app and leave their packages inside it, rather than on their doorstep. Think of it as Amazon turning your car into a locker, only you get to decide where the locker is located — and you can move it around.

It's a new addition to the Amazon Key program, which began in October, that allows Amazon drivers to open customers' front doors and leave packages inside.

The Amazon Key In-Car program is available to Prime members where Amazon Key delivery is available, currently 37 metro areas across the United States. It works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. You don't have to be signed up for the door program to use the car delivery program. There's no installation cost, unlike the Amazon Key home smart lock and camera necessary for in-home delivery, which costs $220.”

Coyotes

Been seeing them more and more over the last few years. Usually right around dawn. Lots of complaints by residents about pets being killed.

Sunday the missus and I were coming home from breakfast, about 7:45 AM, well after dawn. As we head up our street we see this coyote running along with us crossing the yards. He's carrying a squirrel, and stops in the yard across the street and 2 doors down from us. I spun a U-turn and pulled up directly across the sidewalk from him. He just stood there chomping on his squirrel, didn't seem to care in the least that we were there. We were talking, opening the window to take the pics, not being quiet at all. I suppose I should have got out and yelled at him, which is what the city says we should do when we see them, but it was clear to me he was not going to be frightened by me.

Reminds me of the raccoons at Lake Casitas when camping. Catch them with a flashlight at night and the give you that innocent look - what?!

Nanc and I live in the middle of the valley and we have seen them (coyotes) on our morning walks.
There’s a family of them that live at Pierce college by the cross country track.
Seems like if you’re out early in the morning you’re gonna see ‘em. Keep an eye on your little ones.

Looks like Ford is going to give up producing sedans and concentrate on trucks, SUVs, and cross-overs. Oh, yea, the Mustang survives, too.

Makes sense, focus on what you’re good at and where the margins are best.

And all because of LBJ's Chicken Tax.
