If you didn’t hear, we might get CAFE fuel economy standards rolled back. We might get fun cars back again. Hot hatches. Manual transmissions. Sports sedans! Normal v6 and v8 engines again. No more 5000 pound BMWs. No more tiny turbo engines pushing heavy SUVs that won’t make 100k miles. No more start/stop! So what happened in the first place? Why is every vehicle huge now and why did sedans disappear?

Good morning from Nuuk, Greenland January 12, 2026 (10:05am)

Temp: -2°C.

It's colder than that in Ft. Wayne. -4C, 24F

I need to get it up and go to the store. We were scraping the bottom o' the barrel this weekend.

I should go more than once every month or two, but I hate going.

Maybe I'll figure out everything I forget today and go later this week.

I really should get Kim flowers for next weekend, it's been too long.

It's my ex-wife's birthday tomorrow. I'll send her a text after midnight.

I'd send her flowers, but after she made a pass at me after Angie's funeral last summer, I shouldn't encourage her.

Kimmy will be pissed enough at me for sending a text.

Sec. Kennedy: “If you look at the studies of the Pfizer vaccine — the people who got the vaccine had a 23% percent higher death rate from all causes."

MAHER: "But that could be the disease itself…”

KENNEDY: “Then the vaccine doesn’t work, does it?"

I got to the store about noon.

I picked up a hundred bux worth of stuff.

The bill was $302.

The bastards at Kroger didn't send coupons this month or the mailman gave them to someone else.

FYI: The Clown Car holds exactly one cart worth of food without anything up front on the passenger seat/floor.

I need to go back later this week and see if I can find a deal on real meat like steaks, chicken or something.

And Doc's flowers.

I'm having to dig back into my days as a 10-year-old I scored a 18 speed bike, good tires spokes seem to be tight just need to dissemble the axles to clean and grease bearings if I get a wild hair my even do the crank bearings. it's one someone was tossing. so far, the only thing needing replaced is the seat and put some slime in the tires otherwise I'd be patching tubes every day for the sand burs. by the way the winter clover is growing there will be tons of them come spring. looking to put a rack on it to hold my fishing poles and tackle maybe a cart to tote the kayak. if I don't get out and mow for more than a couple days my right hip starts to feel like it has a number 2 Phillips screwdriver jammed in it the bike should let me get around without wearing out shoes and having sand burs poke through the soles. I keep my kayak in a hanger out where I keep the chickens and the fishing is just down the hill. couple miles of marsh grass shoreline with red and black drum, speckled trout and flounder.

Trump seems to be spoilin' for a fight. I'd probably do the same.

The EU 'leaders' are nuthin' but a bunch of faggots, pedos and trannys, except Giorgia Meloni in Italy and Viktor Orban in Hungary.

Whoever is calling the shots in Poland isn't too bad either.

I stopped talking to my sister after she got mom clot shotted where upon she promptly "caught covid" and stroked I talked to my mom when they had her in the hospital my kids asked me how she was I said she'll be dead in a week had the stroke a couple days after that and dead the next day. I didn't go to Iowa for the funeral, I'm pretty sure I would have killed my brother-in-law, not because of anything he directly did wrt to my mom but because he's a libtard.

I met this hippy-dippy young longhair dude at my buddy Rainman's joint a couple summers ago. Bicycle rider. David.

Got talkin' to the kid over beers watching a race in Jay's shop, smart as a whip.

Years ago, I built an electric bike out of an el-cheapo 18-speed K-Mart unit. Two motors, two speeds.

The electronics are basic power devices. Series for slow, parallel for fast. Uses the same SLA batteries as my jump-packs.

Somebody in a car hit him and scrapped his bicycle, I was going to give it to him, but things came up and never got a round tuit.

I didn't need another dependent anyway.

He was the last living person I ever took a photo of.

Sorry to hear that, Ghost. I guess we're kind of brothers-in-arms in that respect.

"I said she'll be dead in a week had the stroke a couple days after that and dead the next day."

Out of respect for Horse, I won't be calling you Dr. Ghostrider. Out of respect for Kimmy, I won't be Dr. Esso-Pacman.

"I'm pretty sure I would have killed..."

Yeah, that's why I hate going out in public and didn't go up to see my sister. I'm getting to old for jail/prison.

The healthcare might be better though.

Hmmm.

Pacman on a cross.

"It's your X anniversary! Celebrate with a special post created just for you"

Not quite yet, Elon. After midnight when I try to wish my ex-wife 'Happy Birthday' at exactly midnight I'll call you.

I've wished my ex birthday wishes since she dumped me when I needed her most.

Pavlov's dogs (

Classical conditioning)

Teri's either waiting for this text with bated breath or has her phone muted.

Yeah, I'm a cruel bastard, if you wrong me.

I'm just trying to get her to apologize. A blowjob doesn't cut it.

I want to hear the words.

Or get the two million dollars back.

I don't even care about the money. Her breaking the faith really hurt me.

There's such as trust, nothing else the same..

I'll be up to pee not much +/- of midnight.

Ghost, you're as cool as the other side of the pillow.

I thought about having DNR tatted on my chest.

After my sister's wing-ding, maybe I should make it temporary one.

I didn't plan on being the last Pac*** family standing.

Not my-ex Teri. She went with the trends. Gay, male pediatric nurse.

I've got no ax to bear.
