OK John, I'll take the key out next time I drive to Bozeman.
Thanks for the heads up.

If he was in CA, his insurance rates would be the same as his wife’s... as of Jan 1 insurance companies in can’t discriminate based on gender.... they have to remain “gender neutral”. Ok, so disregard FACTS and and appease a few hundred ppl. Insanity at its finest, and this is only the tip of the colossal iceberg. The ppl in this state have lost their collective minds.

I’m looking for another state to retire to in a couple of yrs. I can’t stay here. Idaho looks promising... Arizona is too hot...

So, let me get this straight, if what appears to be a male appears before us and
tell us he's a unicorn, and needs to be respect as the unicorn he is, given all "rights"
a unicorn deserves, are we to now be called "hateful" and bigotted because we just
stand there and laugh ? Just wondering. :lol:

A guy in Europe recently lost a court case where he sued to have his age legally
changed to 20 years younger than his birthdate suggested, citing he feels 20 years
younger than he actually is.

Raoul, You pretty much got it. And you can be sued if you don’t comply.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Don, it was reprinted in 2011 but I don't remember what day. I wanted to post it on the forum back then but was never able to resize it.

So, to walk this out a little further .... if some guy appeared, seriously claiming
to be Jesus or from outer space or an oracle of Godly divinity, he'd be considered
a loon, or these days "mentally ill". But if he tells you he's a woman, you can be
sued for not accepting his story .... Hmmm ....

I am going to stick to old cars. A T is a T and a Packard is still a Packard.
