    Data Recorders, Personal Vehicles and Mass Transit

    I want to show you a few pictures before I get started. These are in Des Moines, certainly not the largest city in the Midwest. Public transportation used to be a matter of fact, even in smaller cities like Des Moines, Iowa; it took you to work, it took you to the theater, it took you to...

    Passive Resistance?

    So you've finally realized your job is meaningless, unrewarding and even a little silly. You come home every night exhausted for having done very little physical work, but from being run dry by demands and protocols. ...It's not that you want to stick your finger in "the Man's" eye, it's that...

    In case anyone is interested: Rebel Style - Nick Waterhouse I've never heard of this person, and I've never heard his music. Thought some of you folks might like the article seeing as he seems to be vintage-minded.

    Helping Out

    A 'Dear Abby' for the down and out It's a cool story, but it got me thinking - isn't this how communities worked during the Depression? People band together and help one another out. People that have, give; people that need, ask. I know I try to do my part and I'm sure many of you do too...

    Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance

    Just a question - and I believe one most appropriate for this crowd of all others because we're so vintage oriented. As a note, this isn't a space to voice political differences, so let's leave that at the door, please and thank you. Who on here would willingly, even preferably, board an...
