American drivers can't catch a break

First, it was soaring car prices. Then gasoline hit $5 per gallon. Now, the cost of car insurance is skyrocketing.

Have you folks noticed a hike in your auto insurance?
My insurance isn't too bad, $800 year for a new $30k SUV. I've got every coverage offered. This was thru Progressive Specialty insurance, which is a subsidiary of Progressive Insurance offered to AAA members. Lowest quotes from others was $1200 :o. My old company of 10 years was the highest

Oh that was close... or wasn't. Not sure yet, I'm paranoid. So, I was driving 6miles over the speed limit, and a police van passed me. They seemed to be in a rush and got distracted wondering how the hell is that little car driving so fast (it's called a turbo...) and they went on my lane and slowed down, forcing me to slow down. High af, car full of smoke, I look at my wife and I'm like this is a 100-road right? (meaning 100km max) and she's like, high af too, I don't know there's 4 lanes so I guess so, want me to check on my phone (SIri knows....) and I'm like no I'm pretty sure, fuck it, I start pushing the cops for driving too slow and they slow down even further and we're like shit oh fuck, expecting the red "Follow" sign to start flashing any moment and then suddenly they took off.

And then I noticed the shitty tiny little 6-inch diameter speed signs along the road saying '80km'... turns out I was going more than 20miles over speed limit. Oops, that's only a 250 bucks fine. By law they are required to stop me and hand over the fine (and to determine I'm the actually the driver not just car owner). Wife looks at me and goes "you lucky ... " It's true regardless, the fines for DUI of cannabis is pretty silly nowadays. Could be worse though, I could be holding a phone...

Still, not all hope is lost regardless, I'm ridiculously good at talking my way out of trouble with cops. Picked that up as a teenager. I got so many stories. Got to give it to them, somehow they always know I don't do rules and I'm certainly up no good. I try so hard to look like a decent citizen but somehow they ain't buying it. I'm thinking I should be getting one of those Jesus necklaces... "praise the lord our savior".

yup.jpgs

If that doesn't work I'm getting a face tattoo and glow-in-the-dark lenses and just own it. :twisted:

If you're a t-shirt wearer, Hanes.com has sales occasionally coupled with discount, you can get them at a pretty cheap price. These are "Beefy T's", pretty good quality and they have tall sizes as well. Inventory .limited on these so... At least get on their mailing list.

Ever use coffee grounds to get moles/voles to leave?
https://www.livetlc.com/blog/lawn-care-independence/5-ways-to-keep-moles-out-of-your-yard/

We've got voles in the front yard so I threw down 15 lbs of coffee grounds.

Stay tuned...

(Voles don't usually leave mounds, so it might be hard to tell when they're gone.)

The article also mentions pet waste as a deterrent, which I've tried with mixed results.
Used kitty litter is fine if it's natural clay. I use "special kitty" from wal-mart.

I had better results when the kitty litter was put down right before it started raining.

Drunk Couple Found Sleeping On Florida Beach Arrested Over Missing Kids
Photo: Volusia Sheriff's Office


An arrest affidavit obtained by reporters claims it took the deputy eight attempts to wake up 27-year-old Alyssia Langley and her fiancé, 27-year-old Timothy Stephens. Body camera footage shows the deputy asking the couple about their kids' whereabouts, and the duo seemed clueless. The news station claims the father even called for his children near the water.

wonder if it would work for ground squirrels…they burrow like moles and I have hundreds of them on our property.
