Happy Post Earth Day. Have to say that the benefits of the pandemic with making more people work from home has been awesome. Cleaner air, less noise, more life/work balance. I truly do not see any reason for things to go back to the old way of doing work for many. Less congested cities too. Course a surplus in office space could happen. I have to agree with the bullet points made about diversity, time and people that working remotely allows. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/04/22/earth-day-working-from-home-commuting-coronavirus/ This story has a picture of crossing the Evergreen Floating Bridge and how clear it is and the Olympic mountains showing. Amazing as it is usually packed and now so open.

Considering that the Rav4 Hybrid has more torque, more speed off the line and returns 40MPG, better MPG than the ICE only. I see no reason for Toyota to not make the Hybrid a Standard top line feature on every model and have a gutless 4 banger as entry and turbo 4 as mid range.

I have one one side of my front yard Emerald Green Arborvitae but they just grow way too slow. The ones I planted in 1999 when I bought the place are finally hitting about 10 to 12 feet for a decent natural wall from the messy neighbor. I researched and went with the Lelands as they top out around 30 feet and can like the Arborvitae be trimmed to create a natural fence. They do make a nice year round green belt for a private yard. I actually hate maples and pretty much any deciduous tree as you have the mess in the fall of falling leaves and an ugly grey tree through winter plus a ton of pollen in the spring.

@Robert Hallthis is what the front side of my driveway looks like where I bbn planted Leland Cyprus trees as they can be trimmed to make a natural wall of privacy. also it makes it easy with my EGO edge and extension attachment to keep them trimmed back from the power lines.

I can understand, grew up with a family of labs and they all died 1 after another roughly 9 to 12 months apart. It was a hard 5 years till they were all gone. Sounds great for the backyard. I also am working on a remodel plan for the back yard, have started to change the garden area, have another area that will go pavers with a fire pit and have been lining out the backyard with Leland Cyprus trees to make a natural tall private green belt.

Yup, meant the Z28 Camaro.

Senior run day of shopping and delivering to the senior parents. Out and about, saw a cherry silver 2nd gen CTS V coupe. So nice. Also saw a 1980's Z28 Camaro still running.

2020 Cadillac CT5 Sport showroom impression and pictures
G. David Felt replied to regfootball's topic in Reader Reviews
Cadillac needs to first decide if they want to be a mass auto sales machine with everyone else or if they want to be a true luxury auto maker that people attain to want! I would rather they do the last one. -

Always liked that specific BMW posted above. Is it the best compared to the Riviera, I think not, but then it is better than the garbage Audi and Mercedes put out then.

Not everyone hears of everything. While I heard of the Alaskan earthquake, not everyone sees pictures or realizes that is from Alaska. Nothing is in the picture implies it is from Alaska. So a valid question asked. Clearly you like to follow fake news with a big helping of fake ASSumptions. Not everyone has seen this picture or seen things related to the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Out of wondering, I asked my kids if they had ever heard of this specific earthquake. Nope they had not, not taught in school, not talked about and so you have made an Assumption with your statement. Stop being a lemming.
