I remember many-a-year riding (and sleeping) in the back of the Chevy to visit my grandparents. It took 2 days of non-stop driving from L.A. to Chicago on good ole Route 66.
OMG! We must’ve grown up in the same neighborhood! He would put the suitcases down on the floor, and cover them, and the three of us could sleep. He also tied a can of spaghetti or Spam to the engine, and we would have a hot dinner. LOL.
My dad would also put the suitcases on the back seat floor…
Then he’d put a crib mattress over them, which just fit the whole space between the front and rear seat backs.
The three of us slept and played on that mattress whenever we went on a trip… when I was four, my sister and brother were two and one.
We went all the way from California to Ohio that way when I was six, moving to Cleveland, and back and forth every summer to visit the SF Bay area.
…
My mother didn’t drive, so the trip took 4 days. Dad would never look for a motel for the night before driving at least 500 miles, and we always left the next morning before dawn.
By the time we were 8, 6 and 5, that arrangement was uncomfortable…
But I think it wasn’t until I was ten, from California to New York, on our way to move to Libya, that we rode without the mattress, sitting up like regular people.
My father grumbled at losing the floor storage in the back seat.
…
Even earlier, first it was me, then my sister, as babies and toddlers, who were put down to nap on the ledge of the rear window, at the top of the back seat.
Nighthawks, thanks for censoring the digital salute. Do Bassets have a middle finger?
In Paperback Writer I hear drums, but Ringo appears idle. I heard that Paul is writing a book about the story behind Beatles songs, maybe there will be an explanation then.
When I see Ray Charles I can’t help but think of my late big brother. He introduced our family to the blues in the mid-60s, when we would vacation down the shore every summer, and there was a turntable built into the huge console TV (with a small screen) in the middle of the house. Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Big Bill. Even my mother got into it.
In the beginning you see the others motionless, too, while you hear them all..
Ringo is just making it obvious… playing Mr.Cool, and not acting.
…
Maybe they just grabbed their guitars to film the video in the park, and didn’t bother grabbing his drum set… and it’s probably harder to fake playing drums.
I don’t see any amps or cords, either…. dunno if they had cordless
guitars yet but where’s all the big stuff?
Serious question.
I can generally get a clip to start where I want it to, but I haven’t found a way to “clip the clip,” as it were.
I wanted to stop this one at 2:31 when “Born to be Wild” fades out, but I can’t do it.
Can anyone give me a step-by-step?
Using nighthawks’ line from a while back…. “to quote Denzel W. , talk to me like I’m a three year old.”
get your kicks on

Do NOT push the button!
Good thing Claude isn’t around.

My dad built a bench that fit in front of the back seat so they could put down blankets for us to sleep on while they were driving.

I think nobody’s really playing…
They’re all lip-syncing.

Hey, SOMEBODY had to do it…

What operating system.
What browser.
Which versions.
No problems here (ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit; Firefox 88.0)
Some older videos didn’t have that check box… I don’t know whether all do now.
If not, you do the same thing manually.
YIKES the code is way more complicated now cos it sets up iframe…
I don’t know whether you can eliminate all that.
Testing:

I just spent a while telling you the way I used to know when we could post videos on GoComics, using “Share”, then “Embed.”
But I tested it and the “embed” code is much more complicated now. I tried to eliminate the automatic iFrame it adds, and my stop time didn’t work.
If you want to see it anyway as a basis for messing with it yourself… there’s probably a way to make it work.
People might find that annoying so I haven’t tried it here.
Also you have to remember to click “open in a new window” .
This is from back when we could post videos on GoComics.
I had dozed off so I’m not at my best. LOL
…
If you want to try it… go to Share and use the code from where it says embed , instead of from the address bar.
It will have a box to check, so you can fill in where you want it to start playing… in seconds
…
if you’ve already moved the slider to the beginning of your clip, that time will be tentatively filled in.
The embed code will now have a spot where it says ?start=X where X is the <strong>start time in seconds.</strong>
To add an ending, immediately after that number, type an ampersand and end=Y, where Y is the stop time in seconds.
…
Example… 2.31 in seconds is 120+31, or 151,
So if you want it to start, say, 10 seconds in, and stop at 2.31, it will now say, immediately at the end with no spaces “?start=10&end=151”.
Don’t copy those or any other quotation marks you see.
They’re just for defining the code (strings).
Some videos don’t have that “start” feature, and you have to type it manually.

I’m happy to say I never had the opportunity to stuff a sloth…
Is that Jeremy from Zits?
could be they’re related…?
nope, just his bud
The guy or the sloth?
Many thanks to Nighthawks for posting the Bates/Psycho House poster for me on Tuesday’s page!!
(I was a bit under the weather yesterday, but almost back to normal today.)
so, if you’re not under the weather anymore, are you now over the weather?
You betcha!!!
Yeah, I think I’m pretty much over it! Fingers tightly crossed…
Glad you weathered it so well!
hagfish
Yeah! Now those things are a lot more disgusting than a baby sloth!
But it’s delicious.

Yes; we’ve eaten it.
WOW!!!
chicken and waffles
I guess every dog feels the call of the wild … one way or another.
Cleo’s no different… wait…. what am I saying?
Cleo is always different.

Good morning Biker phans!
Harness the Ta-Tas!
Y’all have a perky day. (((((HuGz!)))))
Hey! – I got rid of those a few days ago!
It is not about brassieres, It is about breast reconstruction.
So. Save the Tatas?
The girls look like breast cancer survivors. I just celebrated my 10th year surviving it!
Mazel tov.
Thanks, LL!
Glad to hear it! My Mom went 20 years after the mastectomy. (And it was her heart that finally got her)
Well.., does that mean I have 10 more to go.
Only if you have a weak heart.
That was a miniMom!
Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.
Vroom, vroom, VROOM!
Shame on you, Cleo. Those are the people that feed you …… or used to feed you. Nice ride, though.
Have no illusions. Between her tank-driving and her natural inclinations, Cleo is soon to be running that gang.
…over…
