Stupid question of the day:

Should I buy a new battery from the Toyota dealership?

I know I shouldn't. That's the stupid question part.

I would never buy a part from a dealership
I just assume the mark up is higher then your regular parts store
Something like a battery is so generic it can be purchased anywhere
Go to a regular automotive parts store
A regular parts store will often switch out a battery for you

That's the stupid question part. I usually just buy a new car at this point. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

4 of us, all hunters btw, were able to prove that men in fact do not 'rule the world'

In camp we were there with no electricity, no internet, no TV, no regular telephone, but there was cell phone coverage, the hardest to get away from. I suppose it might be hard for some to understand the "no X" being part of getting away from everything and how that is nice.

It was clear from the start that the cell phone system was going to allow wives to call husbands any time they wanted to. You can't tell me that this technology would not have been thrown out the window early on if men ruled the world

Seems simple to me. You 4 make a pact that you will all turn your phones off at the site and, if anyone asks later, "sorry, no coverage up there".
Not unreasonable. I have no coverage in parts of several houses I'm in, and 2 completely, both in town.

Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has

I have no phone other than a throw
away for emergency that's never
turned on. Never sent a text in my
life, haven't heard or answered a
ringing phone in 20 years. I hate
talking on the phone, so I don't
do it. If I have to make an outgoing
call, I use Google Talk, but you can't
call me on it.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
