I usually drink plain water myself. I don't have the alcohol tolerance that I
used to, and I don't need those empty calories.
 
OTOH, I generally don't eat things that would be much improved by drinking
wine or beer with them. What do you pair with scrambled eggs and toast?

Wine or beer. But that's my answer to all food, unless it's breakfast.

There are plenty of fresh vegetables in winter, city man.

No local vegetables in the winter here, except storage veg
like root vegetables and squash.
 
What do you grow when the ground is frozen solid?

Winter vegetables. Brassica's, swedes (rutabaga), turnips, carrots,
salsify. I believe that early spring is more of a problem.

You don't need any car. You never go anywhere that you can't go to
pedaling a bike. And if you want exercise in the winter get yourself
skiis and do real Nordic Trecking, your Nordic toy wastes petroleum
from generating electric to operate it, same as your high wattage
audio equipment for blasting fakeo music on schizzo electric
instruments. If you were really serious about saving petrol you'd
learn to play a piano, castinets, a harmonica, and a ukelele.

Vehicles have become lighter but they are driven three times as many
high speed miles, and I see lots of mega ton P/Ups with only the 300
pound driver and zero payload, nothing saved.

Some interesting stuff about the shape/size of old and new cars, overlays photoshopped. A current model Buick is *far* more space - efficient than the monstrous 1959 Cadillac, those old huge 50's - 70's sedans might have been big, but pretty poor ergonomics. Of course it is somewhat "apples and oranges", as the current Buick is not the RWD four - door sedan of yore. What is interesting that many of today's vehicles are shape - wise very reminiscent of 1930's cars.

The Changing Shapes of Cars, 1932-2020: The Buick Encore Overlaid On Some Earlier Cars
 
"CC reader and Cohort poster Chris Cieslak sent me an overlay he made in Photoshop of a current Buick Encore and a more recent car, inspired by seeing the two on the street. I liked it and encouraged him to make some more, including this one with the classic '59 Cadillac. Yes, these are perfectly to scale. And guess which one has much better accommodations for its passengers? These Cadillacs (and others from this vintage) are surprisingly cramped, in today's standards...
 
Starting with a 1932 Ford. Looks so old fashioned, tall and short...But it's almost exactly the same height and length of the Encore. And similar ground clearance. But there's not even a comparison in terms of comfort and space, as the Ford's body sits way up on top of its frame and is much narrower...

Let's compare width now and tell me which is roomier. Those 50s and 60s Caddys will have you beat hands down with headroom to wear your fedora while driving. Plus, traveling over potholes and poor roads is silky smooth, unlike anything available today. Different times.

No question the '59 Cadillac is wider. But unless you're carrying three, which is very uncomfortable, the extra width is quite wasted.
 
As to headroom, you're quite mistaken. The '59 Cadillac has shockingly poor headroom, due to the it sitting on top of a frame and the low roof. Good luck wearing a fedora, unless you're short. The last time I sat in one a few years back, I was shocked at how cramped I felt. It might have been fairly roomy for 1959 standards, but not for modern standards.
 
As to the ride, that's debatable too. If you like wallowing, yes, it wallowed better. But "handling" is not in its brief..."

Trump said "We love you". Would he have said that to an Antifa crowd?

Trump told his supporters that he'd walk with them down to the Capitol as a show of unity. Then, he disappeared. Ha ha, screwed again. This might be just the beginning. If Trump went full on John Brown mode, he might be able to overthrow the government. Fortunately, he's a gutless coward.

this quote came up today and i thought it was interesing. :)
 
and also appropriate to comment upon, i do like soups with
more liquid and room in them compared to Mom who packs things
in so much at times that it is more like a stew than a soup.
the food is still good so nothing to complain about, but a
matter of preferences.

No argument. But Senators have constituents, and not all of them are
Democrats. Some Senators have to walk a very fine line to keep their seats.

I've done a little bit of HR work - I always did internet searches on
potential employees. It more than once saved us from hiring totally
inappropriate people.
