Funny part of my experience was the car beeped as it's suppose to do in that situation and I turned around to look at the car why the beep and it stopped so I went on into the restaurant.

  Had lunch with friends Monday, in the restaurant for about two hours.  Returning to my car to go home discovered the engine had run the entire time I was in the restaurant.  Yeah, it's a new keyless auto.

Although my damage was very slight I recently backed out of the driveway into the left fender of a neighbor's car, crumbling it  The last I looked his car was parked about half a block up the street and I never realized he moved it.  The camera on my car caught his but too late to stop.  My tendency was to blame him for moving his car closer to my driveway. I see your point, CT.  I have a new Toyota and do not understand what you wrote about the transmission.  Could you explain further, please? Did you find a reason why the AAA refused to take your car away without a police report?  I've been a member for many years and never heard of such a thing.  Nice cop helping you out like that.

Massive spending for the infrastructure is so necessary and how many thousands of jobs for years would it create.  Many of Trump's supporters would jump to such an opportunity and in part, why many voted for him.  If this does fail it would be a huge disappointment for supporters of Trump and others who placed their faith in him for jobs across the country.

Agree.  Never did I ever think a president-elect of his ilk would actually become the head of the free world.  I don't like thinking what the next four years will  bring.

Yep and now hundreds of Labor employees will be fired soon lengthening the wait times for people inquiring about their benefits.  What a humongous mess  PA is in.

Effective: 1/1/2017 your state gas tax increases by 8 cents a gallon
                1/8/2017 your turnpike tolls increase by 6%.  A trip from Harrisburg East to Pittsburgh on E-Zpass will   
                cost $17.90 and paying with cash  $25.20. 
                7/1/2017 your annual vehicle registration fee could increase in July, depending on an increase of the 
                CPI (Consumer Price Index.)  
                7/1/2017 your windshield inspection sticker will increase $1.00 to $7.00.

                PA is coming out with a new license plate by the middle of 2017 once the supply of current plates is exhausted.  The little indentation where the registration sticker would go is gone and the new plate includes an outline of the state.

Definitely not leather.  The worn out pair now in use is man-made fabric with non-slip palms and fingers.  What I especially like about them is the clasps like ski gloves that hook the two together so one doesn't get misplaced and it also serves as a hook to hang them in the garage so I always know where to find them.  They also have velcro-like wrist bands to tighten as desired.  I realize this is a lot to say about a simple pair of gardening glove but when you have something very serviceable, well ......  I'll have to research the internet to see if that business is still around.  When I was still living in northern VA they had a store in McLean.
