Finally the "Pavement Princesses" Are Getting Mocked!

 "Independence" is an easy word to praise.  It is not so easy to practice.  Once this winter a friendly camping-neighbor approached me.  We had several good and long conversations.  These days I try to respond positively when somebody else takes the initiative, but I never take the initiative myself.  Call it the 'triumph of experience over hope.'

Spending so much time alone makes a person feel a bit unhinged or cranky.  You are free to develop opinions that are out-of-step with the ignorant masses.  Then you wonder if you are getting a little crazy or whether the other people are.

For instance I have rolled my eyes at the pickup truck trend of the last 20 years.  Finally I ran into a channel that put out the same sort of rant that I do.  Validated, at last!  It is fun to find worthwhile channels on You Tube and to shout them out.

I never understood why someone would: pay for a brand new vehicle only to have it depreciate the second you drove it off the lot, would want a perpetual loan payment AND the full-coverage insurance the bank makes you get to cover their car. The bank always owns it, not you. My car turned 20 this year, 95K, still going fine with regular maintenence. Anyone with old, cloudy headlights? Treat yourself to new headlight assemblies. Not that costly and tired of all the tricks to get them uncloudy. Did it myself.
