Thanks. When I read the title of the thread I was expecting the one from 12 years ago.

In most places it's legal for restaurants to restrict restrooms to customers only, with an exception for medical necessity.
Even in California, if I'm reading it correctly.

but I still don't want to subject my neighbors to noise of gas powered
Thoughtful of you! Back in the '70s we were next to a field that guys would ride their dirt bikes in. Half of their riding seemed to be sitting on their mounts, talking, and revving the engines, "neeeiiing-NEEEEINNNNG-NEEEEEINNGGGGG-neeeinnnggg" over and over.

It was funny, when the stalls were full, some would use a urinal!
The Veterans Hall in Petaluma converted a men's room into a ladies room to comply with some regulation. Left the urinals in. At big square dances there my ex would use them. She'd figured out how to sort sit on it to urinate. Quite a trick with her square dance outfits.

In Santa Rosa, California.
Thanks to the excellent painting work of Anton Daineko and his assistant Andrei, and the preliminary design work by Father Patrick and Father Moses, our church is now blessed with two of the four evangelists painted in the pendentives.

I also wondered about that. And I also decided that that was a typo and was supposed to be lady. I presume the Marshal was just double checking.
My brain just processed it as "lady" because I'm familiar with the episode. "Twilight Zone" and "Robert Redford" conjured up images from it in my head.

I already have old age mental problems, I don't need any artificial sources.
I AM NOT CRAZY! YOU JUST TAKE THAT BACK!
We know that you aren't crazy. Just somewhat reality challenged.

Couldn't get any sound
2 minutes ago, Alpo said:Not only was there no sound, but you couldn't slide that up and watch anything underneath it. It was just the one audioless video
Go back to it, and when you start it hit the button to increase volume. I don't know why, but sometimes I have to do that even when I know that my sound is on. Heck, sometimes when I hit Watch Again I have to uppen the sound to get it to play.

There was one Dutch family – we had te use their barn. It was too cold to sleep outside. We took over part of the family’s house – the ground floor and the barn. We used the barn to put our vehicles in so they couldn’t be spotted from the air. The mobile baths started catching up to us, and our mail, they brough in a mobile bakery. I had to go back with the jeep and pick up rations so I got to know the guy in the bakery. Cigarettes and whatnot changed hands, and I came away with three loaves of fresh bread. They were still warm. This Dutch family, they had three children – very young ones. I walked into the kitchen and I handed the lady of the house a hot loaf of bread. She broke down and cried. The kids gathered around her, they did’t know what it was. White bread..All Armstrong, 14th Canadian Hussars. Nijmegen, January 1945
Picture: Janine Vilain of Dunkirk and other children enjoying Canadian bread and sugar rations.

In 1962, John Ford, one of Hollywood's most iconic directors, made a startling admission that turned the usual narrative on its head. Ford, whose name is synonymous with epic westerns and unforgettable cinema, was often associated with the legendary John Wayne. Yet, in a candid moment, Ford revealed a surprising truth: it was not Wayne who was his favorite actor, but Woody Strode.“Hell, people think John Wayne is my favorite actor, but, in fact, it’s Woody Strode. Woody’s the real deal: a decathlete, a pro football player, and a wrestler. He’s part Cherokee, part Blackfoot, a real American," Ford said.This statement, coming from one of the most revered directors of his time, speaks volumes. It shines a light on an unsung hero whose life was as extraordinary as the roles he played on screen.Woody Strode was not your typical actor. Born in Los Angeles in 1914, his athletic prowess was evident long before he graced the silver screen. Strode was a formidable decathlete, a professional football player, and even a wrestler. He was the first Black football player for the Los Angeles Rams in 1946, breaking barriers in a sport that was often closed to people of his race. But it wasn’t just his athleticism that set him apart; it was his resilience and the complexity of his identity. Strode, who was part Cherokee and part Blackfoot, carried with him a deep connection to his heritage.In Hollywood, however, Strode faced the harsh realities of racial prejudice. At a time when roles for Black actors were often limited to stereotypes, Strode’s talents and his striking presence forced filmmakers to look beyond the usual portrayals. He became known for his strength, dignity, and quiet intensity, traits that made him stand out even in small roles. Though Strode’s film career would never match the level of fame achieved by stars like John Wayne, his contributions were undeniable. He was a trailblazer, opening doors for future Black actors, including Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier, who would come to define a new era of cinematic storytelling.Strode's rugged features, towering presence, and effortless charisma allowed him to play roles that were far more nuanced than the typical hero or villain. Perhaps his most memorable performance came in Ford's *The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance*, where he played the stoic and silent character of Pompey, a man of strength and honor who defied the prejudices of his time.Despite the industry’s limitations, Strode never settled for anything less than respect. His influence quietly reverberated through Hollywood’s evolving landscape, carving a path for future generations of actors to follow.Woody Strode may have never achieved the fame of some of his contemporaries, but in John Ford's eyes, he was the "real deal." And sometimes, that’s all that matters.

1668 Eight All Weather Brougham by Rollston
If I couldn't use Google Lens I'd call it an open driver limousine. Or 1930s exposed driver limousine.
