There are few things as interesting as that New Car Smell. I’ve truly experienced it once in my life when my mom bought her 2002 Toyota Prius off the lot. But I’ve also gotten it on a lesser level numerous other times. Cars smell like their drivers you see. The drivers dont notice it, but everybody else does. And when you buy a vehicle from a small lot that smell is still there. But when you buy a used vehicle from a big dealership, they clean it all the way out so it has an almost new car smell. At least the old owners are gone. I like the fresh car smell.

It’s a good thing that some of the prisoners kidnapped on October 7 are going to be returned. But remember something. The people who were kidnapped were just going about their lives that day. Some were at a music party. Others were just at home. They were normal people, minding their own business. That’s who Israel wants back. Hamas wants their convicted murderers back. That’s the difference between civilized nations and terrorists. We are not the same.

California has been on fire for the last week, and it is not an Act of God. Oh, some of the fires might be, but numerous people have been arrested for starting fires on purpose, both by police and civilians. Then there are the other reports. The reservoirs aren’t full, some entirely empty, after two years of record rainfall. Many fire hydrants are just missing. Others have no water pressure. Los Angeles reduced fire department funding by 17 million dollars to focus on DEI from top down. Dry brush wasn’t sufficiently cleared during the off season to starve fires of fuel. And now we’re getting reports from firefighters from other States that California is intercepting and stopping them when they are driving in to help fight the fires. This is a Man Made Disaster, and I hope everybody remembers it going forward.
