    … we read quickly past the word "facts" Sorry, pardigmsearch.
    
    here is a fact: Not all cars run well on 91 octane gas. Depends on your motor. Find out if you have a high octane burning engine or not. Some don't and do better on less octane burning fuel. I read that in an auto mechanics book …
    Also I learned from this book that a good mechanic is one who will prevent your death by doing a perfect job on your car.
    People are so concerned about being gouged by auto mechanics, but maybe we should appreciate them more and not begrudge them what we pay them. Our lives are in their hands.
    On the other hand they do tend take advantage of the ignorant.

                   I just watched Zoolander 2. Its the end of the world, I guess. What a junky movie. What is it about human nature that we get worse and worse? and in the name of what? freedom? hilarity? daringness? some sort of twisted sense of greatness? some sort of audaciousness?
                   
                   If there is any decency left, it is in small tidbits as presented in that movie and it did end happily ever after, true to a Hollywood ending. But to get there do we really need to be introduced to the concept of orgy-love (a group of misfits including Kiefer Sutherland(!)) and multiple pregnancies therein caused by one of the main characters, (Hansel)? We really need to be introduced to the concept of ripping out the heart of a sacrificial child for the purpose of obtaining everlasting youth? And this poor kid was told of the sexual details regarding threesome activities between his mother and father, Derick Zoolander and Hansel and was told that he was a mistake. We really need to see gruesome acts of violence which lead to no bleeding, no consequences? What a ridiculous movie and a wretched one for the youth. It was stock full of celebrities. Why would they take part in such a movie? Justin Bieber who was mercilessly machined gunned down in the opening scene, Sting, Katy Perry and others.
                   
                   Here is a fact to enlighten you:
                   No one should waste their time seeing this movie. (Some laughs from SNL crew members (including Kristen Wigg) but really not worth it.) My rating: A Dud.

                           You are very kind and also very funny. I enjoy your hubs a lot.

                            @ Kathryn, 1:51 a.m., Thursday, cst, I am very tired
                            Uhh, some quiet meditation to start. Maybe a bowl of bran flakes with a half grapefruit.
                            Thank you most-sincerely for your sweet compliment on my hubs. I mean it. No strings. Just a kind thank you to another person I shall call "friend" from this moment forward.
                            You may visit HubLand anytime . ..FREE. No tickets to buy. No customs to worry about. Not that you would have anything to worry about.
                            I am headed to ZZZZs for a while. I worked on birdhouses most all of Wednesday afternoon and it is humid where I live in Northwest Alabama.
                            Talk soon. Deal?

                                  Good. When you arrive, we can meet at an outside café and enjoy Colombian coffee, regular for me, and yours is up to you and we can compare hub ideas. I have two right now. Looking forward to seeing you and I've never met a real dog sitter before. Say if you are not following me, would you be so minded to do that for me? I would appreciate it.

    Embrace the past for what it was, good or bad, and look to the future as the opportunity to experience the best your life has to offer. Never look back in anger or regret.

       Victoria, it is now 8:34 p.m., Thursday June 2, and I have been going wide-open most all day. In short, I am spent. I am so spent that I understand every segment of your sweet post.
       Thanks.
       Peace.
