I think they know and understand way more than we give them credit for.
They just don’t know how to tell us, because they don’t use human language, though they communicate with each other in different ways.
They sit there in the zoo with resigned expressions, and deep intelligence locked up in their eyes, being sadly accustomed to the idea that we humans are just not going to get it…
So they might as well just play along, and enjoy the free bananas.
This is the cover art chosen for “Transmissions 6” in his TRANSMISSION series of books (there are easily accessed samples of more of the content at the site).
At that time, tires were not as reliable as today. Even I remember the occasional blowout. My folks tell of their trip from Kansas City to Houston during the Depression. They would drive until the four spares were in use,then stop and have a bite while the flats were being repaired.
Keeping in mind that the modern/standard now is for tubeless tires. These ones would be tires requiring inner tubes. And probably more “rubber” in them then than what they have nowadays.
From a Google search: The construction of a military airplane used one-half ton of rubber; a tank needed about one ton and a battleship, 75 tons. Each person in the military required 32 pounds of rubber for footwear, clothing, and equipment. Tires were needed for all kinds of vehicles and aircraft.

Hello Sir/Ma’am. I hope that you are having a good life.

This one i could believe.
It depends on what is in the top.
…IN the top.
Addams Family?
Curtains in the front window seems unwise.
Camper vans have them.
You can close them when you need them, but otherwise they pull or fold completely out of sight.
Obviously they’re not meant to hang in the middle like that when you’re on the road!

This little guy again! Like! 🙂
This is one of the best ones yet!
Careful little guy… Bring metal like a plane doesn’t: mean you can fly.

Here’s the full short.
The car falls apart at just after the 3 minute 11 second mark.
Thank you!
This is amazing. Look at how the car completely disassembles. The wheel and panels all cleanly and smoothly separate. It’s brilliant engineering.
takes one to know one
aw, gee 🙂
“These aren’t the drinks you’re looking for.”
can you find 3 hearts?
I found the top hat.
My comment was made because Nighthawk’s question about the three hearts didn’t appear when I looked at it. I DID find the hearts later.
I got two so far.
Found the three very quickly, I suspect we’ve either seen this one before, or one very much like it.
🤐
Not so quick for me, but I got them.
I really do my best to not do that but my memory is extremely selective.
and apparently ‘remembering which puzzles I post’ isn’t selected
Found them
Stand back Fred! You never know when one of these things is going to go off!
They should head up to the Nighthawks cafe scene above; they look like real live Ewoks.
“Keep your 5 best tires. Sell all others to Uncle Sam!”
I didn’t know about this.
Did that mean if you had more then one vehicle, you were supposed to keep all but one without tires?
I wonder what Uncle Sam paid.
Probably far less than they had cost.
Then did they use your civilian tires for the military, or somehow remake them?

Yes! Yes he does! 😀
Not for children or work.
The full movie is online via YouTube (read Tobor backwards).
I don’t think Claude being beamed aboard the Enterprise and meeting the whole crew is exactly going to make him want to stop pushing those buttons.
He’ll be looking everywhere for more buttons to push!
Like the current Doctor Who.
Is the third video supposed to be a 15 second “placeholder” that says “Choose your video” and then does nothing?
Cos that’s what I see.
The two links showing on it right now are to video tutorials about working on a WordPress blog.
Was displaying that earlier when I first looked in, now showing CW McCall – Convoy
‘Breaker one-nine, this here’s the Rubber Duck, you got a copy on me Pig Pen, c’mon?’
Note to Nighthawks…
Unless something has changed by the time you see this, my emails to you in re puzzles are not going through.
