    California Workers Arrive at Restaurant to Find It Closed Thanks to Newsom’s $20 Minimum Wage

    If you are dumb enough to pay 9.50 for a 5 Guys little cheeseburger you are dumb enough to leave a 10% tip.

    27 Years Ago Today

    I was working at the AT&T Manufacturing plant on Reno and Council. I had just come inside from taking a smoke break and was sitting at my desk when I heard the boom and it shook just a little. I remember thinking that was thunder but then I remembered it was a clear sky when I was outside just a...

    Will you guys pay for my college debt?

    When I went to OSU in 1973 in state resident tuition was $14/credit hour. You would typically take 15 credit hours per semester so 120 credit hours in 4 years for a degree. Total cost of the tuition would have been $1680. The other cost of going there was room and board and books was way more...

    1970s Prices

    Prices were cheaper but wages were a lot lower too. It's all relative except for the inflation the last 3 years.

    Any Transmission Guys here?

    Pretty sure he is talking about the first gear transmission ratio not the rear end. Some manual transmissions in trucks can have a really low first gear called a granny gear. I would check with Blumenthals and see if they know what might be available for a transmission gear swap.

    Wheel Alignment

    Call John's Auto Center on 23rd and Glade in Bethany and ask if Pete is their alignment guy. If he is not doing them there then try Lonnies Auto Center on 50th and Vermont just east of Meridian and see if he is working there. If hes not at either place then you probably cant go wrong with...

    Any of you guys have this in your house?

    No. The stench of one at a time is enough. I have no idea why anyone would want to double it. We even use separate bathrooms.

    A Couple Of Old Timepieces

    About the Elgin. There is no crystal on it. I don't know if it is supposed to have one on it because it has that cover. I don't think the cover would close if there was a crystal. Did they make watches back then with no crystals? The cover was removed to display it.

    A Couple Of Old Timepieces

    The first one was my Grandfathers pocket watch he carried in the early 1900s. My father had the little grandfather clock thing made to display it in. The second one is a stopwatch that my father used when flying 35 missions on a B17 as a bombardier in 1944 over Europe. The stopwatch still works...

    Anyone Diagnosed With Afib?

    Well I had my Cardioversion today at 1:30. My cardiologist ran the TEE device down my esophagus first to check for blood clots and there were none. He only had to shock me one time to get my heart back into rhythm. I was sedated and out cold the whole time and didn't feel anything. They let me...

    LSU Walks Off the Floor Before National Anthem

    I read they do that before every game to avoid any controversial actions by the players Not excusing it. Just what I heard. Their coach is supposed to be a staunch conservative and doesn't want to see any protests during the Anthem. That said, glad Iowa won.

    Old Seikos

    I have some old Seiko watches from the late 70s early 80s if I remember correctly. Pretty sure I bought then at Service Merchandise in OKC then. I was just wondering if they have any value. I would guess not much since they are not exactly the style of watch people want today.

    Usage-based Auto Insurance

    When I switched to AAA probably 8-10 years ago they had us (me and wife) drive with one of those things plugged into the ALDA port for 30 days then mail them in. Then never again. AAA actually lowered our auto premium a little last year. Same vehicles. Also bundled with HO.

    Educate me on growing tomatoes in Oklahoma.

    I buy well established plants at nurseries over 12 inches tall from bottom of pot to top of plant. Plant them deep (10-12 inches) with some bone meal, calcium and fertilizer. Pinch off the lower leafs that will be below ground. All those little hairs on the stem will grow roots, Once every 2...
