  • I think you could do it. My first trip across (in 1984) was from New York to Los Angeles (via San Francisco), and it took five days in a '79 Toyota Land Cruiser that couldn't break 60mph due to it having all of the aerodynamic efficency of a medium…
  • Motel 6 is pretty cheap, and they are everywhere, and reliably clean.
  • Before you head out I would have a complete tune-up and oil change. Make sure that the pressure of your tires is what it should be, and have the brakes evaluated. Have all of the fluid levels checked. If you are going over the Rockies, turn off…

  • I've driven across country 7 or 8 times, and there's not much I can add. I highly recommend driving no longer than 8 hours before switching to a driver that has slept- not one that has been a passenger watching you drive. Other than that, I think …

  • Kind of. It's a very strange show from Japan where they inivte chefs from aroung to world to compete in "Kitchen Stadium" against the "Iron Chefs" to make a full four course meal out of a surprise ingredient (usually something like eels nipples or …

  • I think of myself as an early adopter. I won't be getting one of those Archos things. I can barely stand to watch a letterboxed movie on my iBook. I can imagine how much fun it would be to watch one on that screen. I got an iPod mini (I had th…

  • I always thought "The Shining" had a great opening credit sequence (and one of the first big movies to use the stedicam to great effect)
  • Yes, I saw it. I really liked it. It doesn't go where you think it's going to go, and isn't mean-spirited about any of the characters. I'll be interested to see the footage added for the wide release.
  • Surfing on Lake Michigan The Santiago Calatrava wing at the art museum Kopp's Custard Sprecher Root Beer Ma Fischers Summerfest Milwaukee's a great town.
  • At this point Apple should be the one filing suit. Who's heard of Apple music in the past 20 years? What next? Packard motors filing against HP?
  • Well, if they want to endanger individual churches status as tax-exempt institutions, this is a great way to do it.
  • I got notice that I won one in a sweepstakes on May 13th. I'm still waiting for it.....
  • Oh who cares? I don't care if Cheney used the f-word insulting someone when he thought he was off the record (like anybody is off the record on the Senate floor), or if Kerry used the f-word in print, vetted and approved. As for the partisan bic…
  • A nice piece of cold poached salmon with dill sauce, new potatoes in oil, and cold green beans. Chocolate dipped strawberries. A bottle of Veuve Cliquot or Taittinger, and a bottle of Apollinaris. Real plates, real glasses, real forks, real…
  • I hate to say it, but I'd rather have a road full of a$$holes that think they're Bob Bundurant than deal with people who are drinking coffee, eating breakfast, dialing the phone, reading the paper, putting on mascara, watching a DVD, disciplining th…
  • Urinals usually aren't installed in the home because of space constraints and the added cost of fixtures ($5-700 dollars) and extra plumbing for something that may not be used by everyone in a household, especially a rental. Besides, for most guy…
