“Tiger Woods going to Arizona for sex addiction rehab?”
I love this sort of headline. You will notice ONLY rich men seem to worry about “sex addiction.” One also notes, there are never any rich women going.
This is so bogus. I like[d] sex. I would have done it with lots of women, but I never had enough money to be “attractive.” I’m 70, and would become 25 in the eyes of 20ish something girls if I had $10 million to throw away on bimbos. Money is ALWAYS attractive to women.
If a guy is famous [& even better rich], there will be no end of young and no so young women willing to approach them on their knees.
This is, of course, merely an observation as I’ve never been either famous enough or rich enough to be so lucky as to have a possible “sex addiction.”

The vanquished know war. They see through the empty jingoism of those who use the abstract words of glory, honor, and patriotism to mask the cries of the wounded, the senseless killing, war profiteering, and chest-pounding grief. -Chris Hedges, journalist, author, and war correspondent (b. 1956)

I just received a cheque covering the warranty work done in Canada and later partially undone in the States. Most happy.
I shall be sorry to see Saturn go. Part of the reason Saturn failed was the way GM screwed them over.
If Chevy is smart, but they won’t be, they would pick up the Saturn Sky as a Corvette Light for their line up. it is such a neat looking car.

Amtrak is still in the 20th Century. I was looking into a cross country train trip. However, Amtrak does NOT support Wi-Fi. Laptops would be off the net. They need to deal with this.
