If it works it works.
I went to rent a trailer one time and had one of those drop ball mounts. Went to hook up and there was way too much drop, it as so much that you could just barely get the hitch onto the ball. Guy said that he didn't want to rent it to me like that. I asked him for a wrench, took the ball off, pulled out the mount and put it back "upside down," put the ball back on and PRESTO! trailer matched up perfectly level. Guy looked at it, "Huh! I never thought of doing that!"

Leeks Stuffed with Apricots
Ingredients:
3-4 large leeks (each leek yields 4-5 units)
For the Filling:
Leek leftovers, chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
1 red chili, chopped
1 tsp (5 g) salt
1 cup (about 20 g) mint leaves
2 tbsp (30 ml) maple or date syrup
3 tbsp (45 ml) Olive oil
4 apricots, cubed
½ cup (100 g) rice (uncooked)
For the Sauce:
30 g (2 tbsp) soy sauce
30 g (2 tbsp) maple or date syrup
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp (5 g) salt
1 tsp (2 g) black pepper
45 ml (3 tbsp) olive oil
250 ml (1 cup) water
Method:
- Leeks: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Trim the green tops and roots. Score and peel the leaves carefully to avoid tearing.
- Wash and blanch the leaves in boiling water for about a minute, then set aside to cool.
- Filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl.
- Assemble:Lay a leek leaf flat, place a spoonful of filling at one end, fold into a triangle, and continue folding along the leaf.
- Arrange the stuffed triangles in a baking dish.
- Sauce:Whisk together all sauce ingredients.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C on turbo mode.
- Pour the sauce over the leeks, cover with damp parchment and foil, and bake for 75 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 220°C, remove the cover, add more water if needed, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden.

During one of Reagan’s visits to the UK, Ron and Her Majesty were in Hyde Park, London, in a formal carriage pulled by 6 matching white horses. Very formal, very regal, very grand. The guards on horseback, marching soldiers in full regalia - the whole 9 yards.
One of the 2 rear horses suddenly lets out a ghastly green fart - the vapors overwhelming the carriage driver, and the soldiers nearby, and of course Liz and Ron. After they recover, and realizing just how extraordinarily bad this was, the Queen just had to say something. So she said “You know, Mr President, there are things even the Queen of England cannot control!”.
He responded, “Ma’am, until you said something, I thought that was one of the horses…”
If that indeed did happen, which I very much doubt, I can see Her Majesty laughing uproariously at it!

Bakersfield Earthquake, 1952
A view from the entrance of a railroad tunnel (designated "Tunnel No. 3") showing
bent rails between two tunnels near a zone of intense fracturing along the
White Wolf fault. (Photo: Southern Pacific Railroad)Inside Tunnel No. 3. A close-up not only of bent rails, but of an unusual
phenomenon -- the rail is continuous underneath the tunnel wall, indicating
that the wall lifted up enough for the rail to slide underneath.

Go to google search.
Search just the word "askew."
It is one of many google Easter eggs.

I haven’t seen curb feelers on anything in a long time.
I see them on lowriders sometimes. Or, more correctly, cars that get lumped into the lowrider class because of the paint and fancy wheels.
