Yeah, soda came late around here, too. When I was a kid we'd call it pop. When we got older to joke around we'd say let's go out for a couple of pops, which meant a couple of beers. Soft drink was always rattling around there someplace and we all knew what it meant.

Unless it comes from a TV or a PC speaker, I've never heard hand trucks called a dolly here in the state of Alabama. I'm sure someone has to have said it somewhere here, though.
I grew up here and was past the age of 50 when people started to call a soft drink a soda with any frequency.

LOL. You crack me up. A dolly can be called a hand truck in these parts, too, but dolly is more common. Officially a dolly is a mobile platform so I'm clueless as to how it got applied to hand truck. One of those imponderables I guess.

Yep, got it, Capt.

That's called a hand truck where me dinio lives. Around here that's not the kinda dolly a doll named Ken would ever want to date.

Okay, but she eats the ones from the bunch she is paying for. But it's by weight, so it's still theft. Although pretty minor at that point...
People who eat them and do not purchase the bag are truly wrong! A different class..

Nonuts

Ah yes, grocery store grape pickers. I always get the packages in the back because of the people that handle and pick the ones in the front. No offense to you or your wife, but I always thought of grape thieves to be lower class and unsanitary people based on the ones I see doing it. Whatever.

Uh oh, dino, that's not a walker in the cart. It's a dolly. The IQ test is why not leave the cart at the store and wheel the dolly to the car and not fool with the cart. Oh well, maybe the guy does need the cart as a walker.

Hehe, would a tranny buck have donuts?

Let's put that in Yoda-speak:
Chasing you wisdom has, but faster you have always been.

Whenever I'm in public having to use my cane I'm well aware I'm a target for scumbags.

Agreed. Its the normal paradigm - short term benefits vs long term consequences. Its about the batteries and what to do with the dead ones. But this has less to do with CO2 and more to do with control. Thank you - I will stick with my MKX. And, I may pull a John Denver and install tanks on my property for my "strategic reserve."

Swalwell….if only a balloon would lift him up and take him far far away.

I used to build barcodes. I'm talking about the actual fonts and the calculations that go into them. And they were the best thing to hit supermarkets since sliced bread.

"Also, hitting a mugger with my cane may give me time to pull my concealed carry pocket piece. Oorah!"

Oh, yeah.

Oops. That old guy looked like the cart was holding him up. Me was looking more at him.
Well, I'm not sorry. My little boo-boo inspired me dino to tell everyone more about me, myself and I.
Excuse me while I hug myself. Ummmmm!

One of the MANY podcasts explained how much CO2 is saved with a Tesla....

Effectively, if you drive a Tesla for 5 years, until the battery needs replacement. And charge it from regular electricity.

Your reduction of CO2 is likely 25% all in.
Nice...
And YOU REALIZE the goal is to say "Well, NOT EVERYONE can have a car! NOT Everyone NEEDS a car..."

I still remember when Toys R Us told their suppliers... NO UPC... No Shelf Space!

It changed the world overnight.
Pretty soon, the cashiers at grocery stores were reduced to BEEP CHECKERS.

And some crafty houligans figured out that you could print your own UPC (say for a $20 toolbox, and overlay it on a $100 toolbox)... and the cashiers did not know...

Somebody always finds a way to violate the trust we build into our systems... [My wife eats grapes, GASP, before paying for them... By Weight!? Does she not understand it's stealing!!!]

I put the T Rex meme in just for you, Buddy.

In the cart was a hand truck...Dino

I REALLY like the one with baby Yoda!

Yep, the Tesla is classic. Here in Ann Arbor we have a new Tesla dealership replacing a bowling alley. I will be on the look out for the service truck. And lmao with the fish and chips.

Probably more truth than we'd like to know with the first one about building permits. I'll bet you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get that infrastructure money.

Is me dino prejudiced or not? Me found the T-Rex meme to be the funniest one.
As for the walker being pushed in a grocery cart, that reminds me of my local Publix grocery store.
Often an employee will see my cane in my cart after adding bagged groceries into it and will offer to help me to my car.
I'll say no thanks and explain that the cart is like a walker and I can get around with it better that I can with a cane.
No, I don't want a damn walker. It takes up too much damn room in a grocery cart with groceries in it not to mention space taken up in my car.
In most other places I shop, no one offers to help me to my car anyhoo.
Also, hitting a mugger with my cane may give me time to pull my concealed carry pocket piece. Oorah!

all good ones, budget sushi was great !
