You are about the 5th person I have heard of who traveled by plane recently and got the Rona. Damn flying pitri dish.
Hope you get well with no lingering issues.

My son might have his driver's license by then. His road test is scheduled for July 9 and he's confident he'll pass. We did a practice one the other day and he passed my criteria but I'm kinda biased.

Maybe he can smoke one with us... then again prolly not legal to do so in an establishment since he's only 17.

some flights no problem, but once in a while I'd get a badly blocked ear and stabbing pain on the side of my head (the big one), across my fivehead, and down below my ear behind my jaw
...until I discovered Ear Planes ear plugs.
Work great

The recirculated, germy air is a pain, but the lack of space for my 6'2" frame is still my biggest complaint.

So my daughter called earlier today to say she was coming over for a visit. I roasted 2 chickens, cooked some veggies and made an awesome pasta salad with spinach, feta and red onion in a Greek vinaigrette. I thought, won't this be nice, just the four of us sitting down for dinner. She stayed for dinner but, it turns out that she really came over to give her dog a bath in my shower because "Your shower is nicer than mine." Is it to late to put a 21yr old daughter up for adoption?

I've got a stabbing pain on the side of my head too.

I would ask RAM but he's probably sleeping.

So my son will be going for his driver's license in the next month. Assuming he passes... I'll probably be looking for a car for him at some point. Nothing special, just around town and local travel and stuff.

Playing the odds (new driver and such), he'll probably get into some sort of accident and hopefully it's just a fender bender. I'll be looking for something safe, reliable, able to handle New England snow season and likely disposable after a few years. My first car was a hand-me-down from my brother... a '72 or '74 Plymouth Fury III. It was a tank of a vehicle - safety was not an issue unless you were in the opposing car I smashed into.

Since I don't see any Plymouth Fury III on the market, open for suggestions on make and model that won't break the bank.

Not looking to do a loan or lease (first car, new driver = likely a collision at some point = something I don't want a loan or lease on) just do cash money.

Probably not the best time to be looking for a car as prices are kind of outrageous but just thinking out loud.

What say you?

He'll be like 17 yrs 4 months when we get there so it's kinda close to 18. If we add in the time zone difference of 1 hr/day over 17 yrs and 4 months... toss in a couple leap year days.... probably gets us close to the 18 yr mark... we'd have to do the math on a cocktail napkin if the establishment would let it slide.

(Oooooohhh.... the Ex would be furious if she knew I let him come into a cigar bar and smoke a cigar... That kinda makes it even more enticing)

I think I have cigars older than him that I've gotten though trades here and there from folks on this forum. I'm gonna have to go dive in my tuperdors. I know for sure I have some stashed away from bombs you guys hit me with around the time he was born.

This adds to the conundrum... is it legal for a 17 yr old to smoke a Cuban cigar in the US that was gifted from Buckwheat which is as old, if not older, than the person actually smoking it?

(Ya gotta read that sentence slowly as it has a lot of lawyer like dribble babble)

It's like a "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" even though it's not a Churchill size cigar.

I've always felt that a first car should be at least as old as the first driver, largely due to being saddled with a 75 Buick Apollo as mine.

So, top safety picks for 2005-06 according to the IIHS:
Honda Civic 4 door
Subaru Legacy
Saab 9-3
Ford 500/Mercury Montego

Cross reference with most reliable vehicle lists from that time, and you want a Honda Civic.

As of a year or two back it became illegal for anyone under 18 in the US to smoke cigars or other lesser tobacco products. So you can do it, but you'll need a large privacy fence so the neighbors don't report you and under a tree so the drones can't spot you.

I always thought any kid's first car should be like a big bumper car with a roll bar and have blinking lights to warn everyone. Get the kid a '55 Plymouth Savoy like I got saddled with cuz my dad knew the guy wanting to get rid of it.
He prolly won't get in too many accidents since it mostly won't run.
