“A car with a stick shift and clutch pedal requires the use of all four limbs, making it difficult to use a cellphone or eat while driving. Lapses in attention are therefore rare, especially in city driving.” https://t.co/sbnOiaRhNp

There’s a unified problem: sprawl, which makes driving cheap & housing expensive. @NatGeo breaks down the bulk of the world—and esp. CA’s—housing issues. Get out of our damn cars, support mass transit connected to job centers, build more housing. https://t.co/jese4rVcPL

Aleksandr Rodchenko: Painting, Drawing, Collage, Design, Photography. Alexander Rodchenko was the most important and versatile member of the Constructivist movement, the progressive artists who created a new art after the Russian Revolution of 1917. This comprehensive book, rich in illustrations and relying extensively on new research from Russia, accompanied the first major retrospective exhibition in the United States of Rodchenko’s work at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1998.
I ran across your post https://rootsimple.wpengine.com/2013/02/the-sundiner-a-groovy-1960s-era-solar-cooker/ about the Sundiner by Carmer Industries.
I am the son of Carl Redmer Sr. whom invented it and holds the patent. I have been looking for one for simple sentimental reasons. I was wondering if you would be interested in selling it.
MY email is on this post.
Hey Carl, I’m very sorry to say that I donated it to a local thrift shop a few years ago. I would have happily sent it to you. Would love to hear more about your dad.
Absolutely true about stick shifts, although with some practice snacking is still possible. It’s also possible to deal with unruly children in the back seat while driving a stick. I know.
We always had standard cars, but living in the boondocks protected us from the major aggravation with a stick shift: stop-and-go traffic. We learned about this while stuck on a highway in Connecticut which was slowed by a traffic accident. By the time we’d crept through the mile-long backup at 2 or 3mph, my husband’s clutch leg was sore and crampy. When the time came to replace that 19-year-old vehicle we bought a Subaru with automatic transmission (don’t think standards are even available on an Outback) primarily for its excellent handling on snowy roads. After the last few winters it’s proved itself a good choice.
