Trunk Update
I got home last night as the sun was setting, and I decided to use what little light there was to see if I could figure out what was wrong. I spotted a small electrical switch in the latch mechanism. I wondered what it was for, so I flipped it to the other setting. I hit the button on my remote, and the latch opened! I closed the trunk, and hit the button again. The trunk opened! Yay! Was a simple thing. I’m really not sure why there is even a switch for such a thing. I’m not sure why anyone would want to turn this feature off unless they were totally paranoid. Perhaps this is why the seat releases are in the trunk. It allows you to throw valuables into the trunk, flip the switch, and no one can get into the trunk without a key. I suppose this could be useful, but I don’t think I’ll ever use that feature (on purpose.)
Presidential Race
A friend of mine on another message board started up a conversation about the 2008 presidential elections. Yeah. I know. It’s only March 2007, but I guess this is about the time that this shit starts to roll downhill. His post listed 24 people that have declared that they are running, or have expressed interest in running. I’m not sure how many of them are contenders, how many are serious, and how many are trying to just raise social issues by wasting everyone’s money and time.
I didn’t even look at the names on the list. I just counted them, and dismissed the entire list. I’m not going to spend time learning about 24 different people when only 2-4 of them will make it to the big dance, and, honestly, only 2 of them will really matter.
I’ve got a few vague opinions about a few of them, and very strong opinions against Hillary Clinton (but that’s another post.) I’m going to wait until next year when the herd has been culled before I spend time learning their platforms, opinions, ideas, goals, background, and other goodies.
