This area has a lot of large stand-alone car washes that are always busy. Back in IL those were a rare sight, but pretty much all of the larger gas station chains had an auto wash on site. Car washing is apparently a big business in SC.
My last wash was months ago, but I did drive my truck in the rain this weekend so at least the pollen got washed off

The thing where someone matches an obscure song to a phrase posted.
The visible pollen is coming, isn't it?

Maybe why it's surprising to me how many there are down here, you would think northern IL would be a much bigger market especially if there were multiple wash bays. All the smaller washes at gas stations almost always had a line of cars during winter.
It's been here for several weeks at least. I wiped a decent amount off of the front brake caliper on my bike last week.

It is still a culture subjugated by Europeans. Why doesn't "Apache", or "Iroquois" have the same panache? Possibly because they were subjugated by someone who is not us.
This is not meant to be aggressive. Only the way it is seen from the inside. By one observer.

Back when I moved to Texas, there was a podcast where one of his teammates said he had it on good authority that Philip Rivers had never run a mile in his life. Not a part of his job description, and I'm sure he's not the only one/
And yes, by contrast even when I was in running shape I needed more than 100 yards to find my stride, nevermind be able to layer in extra speed. And I've never started from blocks. Not a part of my job (ok hobby) description.

The best part about that commercial is not Bo Jackson, it’s Bo Diddley, who never got the recognition he deserves as one of the pioneers of rock and roll.

"Mayan" in the magic word. Tack that onto whatever you're talking about and it becomes the "sustainable" word of yore.

The previous series was hosted by Stanley Tucci and was titled Searching for Italy. There were 14 episodes, each in a different part of Italy. We enjoyed it and when the Mexico series was announced, we were on board.

I have 2 rides in mind which exceed those numbers but I don't know if I feel up to it. Like I might wuss out. I guess I have 3 weeks to get ready.

I remember when I was in Ithaca that the self-wash places would be extremely busy anytime the temp was > freezing. I also remember there being no cars more than about 10 years, unless they came from out of state. New York State ate cars.
