I would rather have a 1966 Lincoln Continental coupe, the "poor man's" Lincoln.

Better yet, a '67 model coupe -- with the first year of the dual master brake cylinder.

In a non-metallic pastel color, like rental cars of the late 1960s, thank you very much.

Nothing wrong with the 1966-67 Lincolns, but I prefer the 1965, as it has the wheelbase stretch of the 1964, which actually gave it some decent interior room for the first time since 1960, and was the first year for front disc brakes, which shaved yards off of high-speed stopping distances.

I found a bloody pile of.... something on the downstairs bathroom floor this morning.

This is the bathroom used exclusively by FIL and three formally feral cats.

As much as I really didn't want to, forensic examination was required to rule out anything untoward going on with (or coming out of) the FIL.

Probing the pile, I noticed a cute little nose and two teeth.

Alrighty then - formally feral cat yakking up bits of a field mouse is an acceptable finding. On with my day.

I find it fascinating how cats (at least my three at home and our "barn" cat here) leave perfectly in-tact little piles of the innards.

I would, but it requires a modem to register and activate during the install.

Why did you get rid of yours?! I still have all of mine! Aren't you worried about the government monitoring all your data!?
