They used the "Chicken Tax" to remove light trucks on the 80s, not emissions issues.

Ford used to skirt the law by having Transits made in Europe shipped to the US as passenger vehicles. Once in the states they would recycle the seats and replace the rear windows with panels.

Most of these cars start as non-running junkers. Racers can sell parts off the car and add to the budget but must keep track of it all.

The big investment is time. Looking for cheap parts, making the car reliable, etc.

I started after seeing this post. Thought about it before bud never looked into. Easy enough to update locations along my regular travel

Thank you for pointing out Five Calls. I've been feeling guilty about not attending protests but I'm just not built for them. I read this post today at work and saved it. I made three calls after work and will make two more.

Basically. When I go to the dispensary the flower is listed as eighth, quarter, or ounce. Everything else is in grams.

In California cannabis is usually sold as ounces or fractions of an ounce.

I've worked in the business previously. Back of house always worked with grams but the customer was usually presented with oz.

Since it mentioned grams I assumed it was cocaine.

I thought I recalled this happening locally so I did some searching. Apparently this happens often with all types of animals. The oxygen mask used here is designed for animals.

My veterinarian had an office cat. It would come into the waiting room and sit on my cat's carrier to exert dominance.

Appears it is not the entire postal service, just the inspectors.

The postal inspectors are federal police and have a lot of power.

"Of course, it’s one thing for a deer to suddenly become two deers. That’s just more venison for everybody."

That's not how it works.

 

I know it is not Oakland, but it involves California and humans correcting past environmental mistakes.

 

The Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) is a non-profit that fights for our civil liberties in an electronic age. It is also the non-profit I have given the most donations over the years.
