I'm at 150K+, and get about 320-340 per tank. Depends on how low I run it. I use the trip odometer to track miles per tank, then do the mental math, and I'm typically in the 15-16 mpg range.

Especially love some of the references that, for the most part, only Minnesotans will get. Such as referring to Edina as "the small town on the west side with a dream". Anyone who has ever spent any time in the Twin Cities understands why that line is classic! :D (Edina is the rich suburb...

Not only is this hilarious (especially to us Minnesotans, but the humor is pretty universal), but additional hits result in additional donations to hockey-related charities... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzhSpdPqexY" frameborder="0"...

Another idea for a search--What you're looking for is very similar to the font used on "Miami Vice" (which is itself an art deco design). Searching for "Miami Vice font" may get you some interesting results...

LaRue, if you are actually still looking for one--that's a very "art deco" style. If you do a search for "font art deco", or "font art deco free", you'll find several that are at least somewhat similar. Not sure how exactly similar you need it, though...

Frank-- You know it's true. I know it's true. But neither of us are ever going to convince these people to open their eyes. In fact, the type of badgering you're doing is only making them more recalcitrant in their misguided ways. So please do everyone a favor--including...

My family is heading to Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico, for a bit over a week, at the end of the month. Staying in an all-inclusive Club Med, so I suspect we'll spend most of our time at or around their compound--but have any of you been there, and if so, is there anything you'd consider "don't...

Minnesota had a ballot initiative for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage a couple years ago. If failed by a quite significant margin. It was only a few months after that that gay marriage became law. In my opinion, the main reason Minnesota legalized gay marriage already is...

KL, I never said that there was any correlation--that if one law is true, the other must be true, or vice versa. That is completely not the case. What I said was that the level of confidence that the international scientific community has in the two theories are equivalent.

KL, you've got to be kidding, right??? Blaming all the problems of the education system on teachers is practically a cottage industry! I can't comprehend how you can say there isn't blame directed at them, when they're almost always the first target the public comes after! And please...

KL, when you say, "we're supposed to be learning facts and hone our ability to think freely", the "learning facts" portion is what the standardized tests are trying to measure, and the "hone our ability to think freely" is part of what I've heard many refer to as "soft skills", which typically...

KL, are you kidding? Do you not recall all the Bush/Republican-pushed "No Child Left Behind" craze, forcing schools to 'teach to the test' simply to maintian funding? (I actually prefer to call it "No Child Gets Ahead", as it forced schools to concentrate only on the low learners to make sure...

Yes, it is a theory--but please remember, in the scientific community, "theory" means something completely different than it does in the common venacular. In the scientific community, "theory" means: "a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be...

Gavin--Yes, your perception of the right-oriented position matches mine--lots and lots of standardized tests, and judge every kid's, every teacher's, and every school's successfulness off those tests, even if many of those tests are effectively tree-climbing tests for fish. I don't agree on...

Love it! Thanks for posting! I'll admit, I'm rather suprised, and, to a certain degree, impressed, that such a left-oriented cartoon as this one, being posted on this site, hasn't been ripped to shreds.

Is that a Ford Mustang? Looks more like a Ford Pinto! :banana: And with the westerns he's done, I'm surprised there's no Ford Ranger!

Interesting--they must have changed the photo. When I first posted it, there was a Ford in the image...

My sister lives out in Maryland. Neither she nor I can quite figure the people there out. A couple weeks ago they closed school one day, as they were anticipating snow. They got exactly what was predicted--a mere half inch, which didn't start falling until around 2pm. Another time, they...

That's ludicrous. Conservatives get just as upset when they can't control something. Get off of your "better-than-thou" high horse already.
