You actually save gas because the AC needs less power to cool down a white car vs a black car.. a black cat is constantly absorbing all heat.. the white is reflecting most of it.

Tinted windows do worse on the car skin and chassis, even if the internal area seems "colder". The best way is to use mirror like reflective film on the windows (polarized).
Those do reflect most sun and do not transfer the heat to the chassis.

That idea of less energy is quite possible I guess, however, I have to wonder how many people really think about, the idea that it might take a little more power to cool the cars when their only real concern is that they want it cool inside and AC accomplishes that. Also now, many cars have a degree of insulation between the roof over the interior so whether it absorbs or deflects it is really not something that I think most people would even think about. And then you have an engine right in front of you that operates at 180 to 190 degrees at all times with very little insulation between you and the heat source. I just think that this is the color of choice at the moment, and very little scientific thinking has gone into it for most people.

Words cannot describe my joy

Yah, I figured the heat issue was probably the reason for so many white cars.

Yea, that and the light-colored dirt issue is what I’ve always heard about here anyway.

Packed pools are the only thing that makes me wary about a cruise.

Do what I do...just stay out of the pools...!!!
Seriously, I’m about as far away from being a germaphobe as a person can get, but, there is also so much other stuff to do on a cruise than hang out in, or by, a pool...!
Carolyn, Matthew, Sarah, and Hayley went in a coupla’ times for a little while when it wasn’t too crowded, but, that was it.
I haven’t even tried to get a tan in well over 30 years. What I find kinda’ ironic is we can become vitamin D deficient if we don’t get enough sun, but we’re always told to stay out of the sun, or use sunscreen (which seems to be, IMO, mostly useless - sans one Bullfrog brand pump spray one I used about a decade ago when I worked weekends one summer at my old high school friends watercraft rental place down on Lake Travis), so we don’t get skin cancer.
I just take my vitamin D supplements, and no deficiency anymore...!!!

And, in the middle of that last post, I sold a bow tie and pocket square...!!!!!!!
OK, I’ll stop now...!!!!!

I never knew anyone growing up in school that was allergic to peanuts. There are theories that the chemicals put on the peanuts when they are growing or the genetic modification of them is what is really affecting those that are allergic today. Theories of course.

The cleaning products we use, as well. The more we sanitize, the higher food allergies seem to get

Thanks to both of you -- spoiler tags for things like that. It always takes me a long time to see "new" movies, and this one actually appeals to me.

The movie appealed to me the second I saw that Ewan McGregor was going to be in it, lol. I was like, “That guy looks familiar...oh my gosh, it’s Yobi-Wan!” (Yobi-Wan being “young Obi-wan” in the Star Wars prequels)

I did. Brad and I shared it and we both had mixed feelings about it. It certainly tasted like a s'more and luckily it wasn't too graham cracker heavy because neither of us are too fond of graham crackers. The parts of the sandwich that had a lot of the filling were very good and sweet but if it didn't have a lot it was a little dry. Did you have it or are you planning to try it? I would say if you are interested try it, and share it if possible.

We also went back another day and shared the BBQ brisket. The beef was good but the bread was a little dry and there was a strange burnt garlic taste to the bread used for the brisket sandwich. We also got the tots as our side and there were 8 tots total which I guess are enough but it seemed a little skimpy when eating half a sandwich and fourtotsper person.

Overall I like the theme of Woody's Lunchbox but I'm not rushing to get back. I would rather go to the Brown Derby Lounge or take the time to go to a sit down like 50's or Sci-fi. Or actually to Pizzarizzo, I'm one of the few that actually kind of likes that pizza and salad there. I've always had a fresh pizza there.

When I came home in May Toy still was not open yet. Next trip. I'd like to also see it at night. DD is the s'more addict. Intends to try them all at Disney Springs.

And best and most yummy photo of the day. Dear Lord Yum!!!

My family and I like Pizzarizzo too! Their pizza is so much better than the flatbreads from, for example, Pinnochio’s Village Haus.

Those frozen pizzas are from a company in Chicago. They are also a staple in resort food courts too. They service most themeparks in central Florida. I was able to see the theme park food expo a few years back in Orlando, they still had beaver tails that Epcot Canada had served.
