WE used to go down by the river and shoot feral peeves. They tear up the banks and such.
They are an invasive species, nasty bastards. I think they came here in the 80's on cargo ships from Peevestonia.

Why pay double insurance, double upkeep and maintenance? Now, if ONE of their needs requires power, the one vehicle they need to own might be a full size truck. Would you agree?

Good point Larry, At one time I wanted to get rid of everything and only drive one nice pickup.But It all depends on lots of things. I need a truck but not often. I need a rice burner...OFTEN. And my minivan I must admit, not too often but it is handy But as far as double the insurance? That not the way the rates work. We insure 5 cars and I think it's $120 a month. One huge drawback is the cost to get new stickers every two years.

That things like kim kardashian, grieving her dead cat, are all o ver the headlines.
Why? Does anyone really care? What does this woman do, anyway? Why is the national news just like the national Enquirer anymore? And what do they (tabloids) do for news now?

Turning on the morning news/talk shows and having to hear/see Kate Middleton.
What she does, who she sees, what she wears, her hair style, the wedding, the pregnancy... I. Don't. Care.

Who's Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian?
Never heard of them.
