Or earlier. My 2001 is ebony.

It’s looking good!Holy happy horse poopie, the B-16 bigsby is a shaging 50’s engineering marvel, like the shaging Edsel…

I like the Who, but, and I don’t know how else to describe it, I feel worn out after a few songs. I don’t have that reaction to GnR, the Stones, Marvin Gaye, Kyuss, Sleep, or much of anything else.I may. Not a big Who guy, but I really like that album.
We lived in northern Wisconsin before moving to the mid-Atlantic area. I think Baltimore may be more humid. It’s either hot and humid or cold and humid.No thanks - being from the mid-west, I had my fill of hot energy-sucking humidity.

She's tough. That would be like breathing water.Last time my wife and I were in Mexico it was high 90s and high humidity. She was fine with it. I was less fine with it.
I don't see the problem. You obviously haven't seen many of my posts.For heavens sake I'm botching up this quoting lark like there's no tomorrow! Yes, def a typo, should have been '13

Didn't one become a professional weather person?I had a reunion with my college hippie friends. I was 40-50 pages behind, so I just time traveled a few days into the more recent past.
