I fondly remember a quote from a keynote speaker for the annual conference of the Pittsburgh, Pa Presbytery. He gave the speech as a sermon to the church we attended over 60 years ago. "I wanted to begin my speech with "My fellow Racketeers"... And that's why I am the way that I am...However I have known a few Pastors in my life that I believe truly heard the call..

As I look back that whole period basically shaped a lot. of my thinking. My wife was part of the management team of an all news radio station in Chicago, I was working a split shift (6-10, 3-7) as a reporter for a traffic reporting service. Our 9 year old was basically a latch key kid. We had just moved there a few months before... The church we had started to attend had midweek "study groups", nothing similar on weekends. As the Soviet Union began to crumble I received a call from one of the group leaders inviting us to attend. I explained our situation. His response, "I bet they are eating it all up", meaning what was happening in the news. We never returned to that congregation..

Greene just killed Parker..

Restarting the vehicle was my first thought, a bit like a soft reboot. Maybe I didn’t wait long enough on my first attempts. We were in the restaurant about 45 minutes. When we restarted the car all systems were back on. Will be contacting the dealership for an appointment today.

Of course they are. Soon the Trump Crime Family will have their own fleet BTW, the picture of Melania reminds me of Natasha from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle series...

This team's playing like my current 2026 OOTP-GO Tigers..

We had something happen a bit weird this evening. Our vehicle is a 2025 Tuscan Hybrid, just shy of 12 thousand miles. Heading out to dinner this evening, the speed,tach, gas, etc display started “flickering” basically turning off then on. The screen would occasionally go black then come back on. After about 7 miles or so we received a big NO SIGNAL message on the screen. Evidently there is a way to set the map/other “electronics” on the other display screen, but not the “important” one. What was weird, after dinner when we went back to the car, it looked like the main display was working. No problem on our 15 minute ride home. I’ll be checking in with the dealer in the morning to try to schedule an appointment since I saw some mentions of a possible recall while researching during our meal. Anyone have any idea what may be happening?
