Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for July 06, 2019

The Love Bug and Mad Magazine. Two items now relegated to the past. We’ll miss you, Alfred.

And Herbie.

Well, yeah – speed limits mean a Ferrari goes the same speed as a Fiat in most real world applications.

Plus, I’m online a lot more than I’m driving.

Wanting a classic “Beetle” is probably a sign of being a geek.

That was quick getting Alfred E. Newman in just as Mad Magazine closes. Coincidence?

And Romie in the foreground.

What, Me Worry? (poor Alfred & Company)

Herbie is not a slow car! From IMDb: Herbie’s last film was ‘Herbie: Fully Loaded’ (2005), playing four different roles: Junk Yard Herbie, Tricked-Out Herbie, Demolition Derby Herbie and NASCAR Herbie. 38 different VW Beetles were used in this production, and Herbie achieved a top speed of 132 MPH during his NASCAR racing scenes.

Salute to Alfred

I love the “drawn out dramas”, Spy VS Spy and “The Lighter Side Of”.

Funny and Clever. However, by today’s definition, I’d say that makes well over 90% of all computer using Americans: Geeks. (I’m in the 10% but just barely!)

To bad the internet in the USA is slower than a VW Beetle. Slowest in the “civilized” world. Thanks to the FCC.

Andromeda is still hanging around I see.

Rather have a DeLorian.

I mourn for MAD; I was with it when it began (“Panic” etc) and grew up and old along with it, but along the way I learned to laugh at the world…
