We had (and Mom and Pop still have) a ‘70 Chevy Camper Special with a cabover camper (minus the camper for many years now) on it back in the day.
Has a small block 350 with a Rochester Quadrajet, and the best mileage it ever got (with the camper on it) was 12 mpg highway with a tailwind...Pop kept accurate records regarding our camper road trips, but, otherwise, I have no clue what it got/gets city-wise, or with the camper off, but, I’ve driven it many, many times since, it’s pretty funny how fast that gas gauge plunges...!!!!!

As a teen there were quite a few times when I had to roll coins to put gas in my '74 Lincoln Continental. Thing was a beast.

I never had to pay for gas but in exchange I had to do the grocery shopping: supermarket, butcher, fish monger, pork store, farmer's market when it was open and some other errands

you had a separate pork store to the butchers ?

That's a wee bit too close for you to be near that landing aircraft.

(Very cool video for a raccoon, but don't let that go to your head..)

Didn't everybody?

Nope . The butchers here are proficient in all meat .

It's an Italian specialty pork butcher. They made their own sausages, roasts, pancetta and so on and so on and so on. edit the place has grown over the years and they now make mozzarella and have a deli

Quicker to say when he isn't

[Mr Ferret 75]

Nope.

Another one who wasn't posh enough to have separate butchers for each meat type

No Kosher or Halal butchers there?

My arm isn't sore anymore! Yay! I did windmills and arm pumping for 15-20 minutes after getting the shot, but I got the sore arm. My husband, who did NONE of that, had no pain at all until the next day and even then, barely any. So it does not help to keep moving your arm. We'll see how the 2nd shot goes in a few weeks.

I was looking at YouTube for something unrelated, but came across this unique video of an Austin man, who decorated his Christmas tree with Whataburger wrappers and cardboard insignia items. Had to share this exquisite holiday decorating idea with @donaldtoo and @Laketravis !

@Cesar R M , although I did not see the show the other night, I read that Miss Mexico, Andrea Meza, won the Miss Universe 2021 Pageant. Not only is she attractive, but she also has a degree in software engineering!

Just a heads up, I might not be here for a couple of days. A book I have been waiting for for months is being delivered, and I'm in the middle of a re-read of a trilogy I read last month, so if I don't pop in, I'm fine, I'm just reading.

No real call for it locally
