I would hope that's a typo!
Any way that you can put a pump in the back yard? The yard is large and must be difficult to manage when it floods.

Velma Dinkley (Diagnosis: Obsessive–Compulsive Personality Disorder)
Not to be confused with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which is a high anxiety disorder that causes bad thoughts and compulsions and what not. No, OCPD is when everything needs to be just so. It has to with order, rules and expectations and this causes anxiety when things are out of a certain expected order. This doesn't mean that Velma expects everything to be in a straight line, just that she expects things to be how she expects them to be. Out of all the gang though, having OCPD and choosing to solve mysteries for a living isn't actually a bad thing.
You see, while it is a disorder, Velma shows that having a certain order to things in life helps you understand what is out of place and is able to provide her with a keen view of the unseen clues. Velma is very adept at solving puzzles and putting together the pieces, due to her expectations of the order of things, and her constant anxiety that something is amiss. Along with Fred, Velma is the primary case solver and leads the Mystery Inc. gang in being the one to pull the "great reveal" at the end of each episode. Her behavior clearly teaches to have a greater understanding of the world through having a less than flexible attitude towards it. It's an interesting conundrum, but if you think about it long enough it makes sense.

I used to have this 1947 M17a Studebaker truck. I ran out of steam restoring it.

Nice project! I like dark green. Good nubby tires, look like they belong on a Jeep.
Thanks!
It was a nice project, like I said, I ran out of steam.
I had fun doing it for a while.
That'd have to some pretty big pump to handle that!
Soooo, what happened to it?Thanks!

Yup. The house I'm building is a 10 minute walk from the Arcachon tidal basin. My architect designed it to be 5.85 meters ASL. The city made her change it to 6 meters ASL. Given what's going on with the climate, I'm very OK with the change. Just adds one more step up to the front door.
I believe I saw that car, or one much like it, at a car show here several years back. I have a thing for old cars; don't know why. I am not a mechanic, don't care about what's under the hood, but there's something about the styling of cars through the ages that I find very interesting.
Build a ramp. Someday you'll be glad ya did.

Well, the fact that you can tell them apart is one thing. For aerodynamic "efficiency", most cars look the same, particularly from the side, from anything over ~50 feet.

I had a ramp before the increase in height. It went from 7.3% to over 9% grade. Doesn't sound like much, but that's steep, so I had to change to stairs.Build a ramp. Someday you'll be glad ya did.
It's all I can hear whenever someone says "Studebaker Hawk."
Yeah, but it'd be "fun" on a skateboard-or a wheelchair...For a moment, anyway.
