Vision care, as well as dental and hearing care, is vital when you're young and becomes more and more essential as we age our bodies get older and older.

School fool tried to be cool by dancing on a stool with a sharp, pointy tool until he slipped in his drool and fell into the pool where his classmates were cruel, challenging him to a duel which isn't the same word as dual.

Dual point distributors provide a hotter spark in battery-ignition engines by increasing 'dwell time', either by overlapping the closed time of the points (using one coil to fire all the plugs), or splitting the point duty into two circuits (like the vintage DuCoil and Spalding Flamethrower) using two coils, each one firing half the plugs.

(NOTE: Do NOT trust AI's info on this. I ran the concept through it and got two different explanations. ONE was right. The other one was hopelessly scrambled, obviously drawn from blathering BS posted on the web by 'experts' with no clue)

Machine tools made 'offshore' 30+ years ago were often such faithful clones that their performance and accuracy could often be significantly improved by replacing their bearings with US or German counterparts. which fit perfectly in many cases.

Significant model car kits from my past that were discarded by brother when I went to tech school are now being reproduced for me to collect, build again and enjoy.

Stuff that people do and things that people say sometimes amazes me and sometimes perplexes me, but one thing that I've found is the world keeps spinning around.
