The Heir thinks the top-most one is the coolest.  (It's simplicity).

It's that time again.  The Heir gets to dream about classiness in cars, this time it's a 1980 Lincoln Coupe.  Of course 1980 he cites as the year in which most of today's problems got started, and it's been 36 years.  But here's a two-door with both opera windows and opera lights.  It could be called jazz lights, or reggae lights, or whatever music the Heir's playing at the time, as he drives leaning back, with his other arm draped over the passenger seat.  Carmen has borrowed it to take it around the block, on more than one occasion (The Heir's got no idea what the deal is with the gift bow in the back, though).

The Heir adds, "In today's soup of endless tabletized dashes, this should serve as one of many inspirations for at least a limited edition of 10,000 production models or so, in a nod to the time when cars used to be cars." (credit: http://www.americandreamcars.com)

The Heir's wondering with what he derides as Proverbial Autism, what others may call high functioning autism, what exactly is the opposite of high funk autism?  Is there even a word for it?  Neurotypical?  Is that even a word?  Neurotypicalism?  What exactly is the operational definition of that in science?  Looks like the Heir might need to do some research, but he might end up running a hundred dead ends here.  Because no one's really thought about it, it seems.  When Prepper Maker emerges in the next couple of years, expect more people to look back and go, now wait a minute.

The Heir Laments Over All These Dead Rockers.  So, yeah, the Heir grieved for David Bowie and Prince, but also added on Glenn Frey, Maurice White and Keith Emerson.  He's also going to miss Billy Paul.  He feels as if these artists have no business dying.  They've been with him his entire life, and they should have only waited till they got to 140.  He's also terrified that North Korea now has the H-Bomb back in January, but they only claimed it, and no-one's talked about it since.  Another pro-sex conviction he has is that you shouldn't worry about fat and cholesterol, if you have enough sex.  The Heir rips on the age of enthusiasm and the *unchecked* power of positive thinking.  He's observed that store chains now make all towns look almost exactly the same.  He doesn't understand why Donald Trump never made an election issue off the standoff in Oregon months ago.  But he does believe that Apple's flip-off to investigators signals that they will always refuse to help investigators on any crime, no matter how many people die, spinning any such cooperation as a slippery slope of some sort.  And that the courts will always side with Apple no matter what, going forward.  It makes the Heir nostalgic for the Tough On Crime campaigns of the early Nineties.

The Heir's mad at Main Team One again.  After going out of their way to get to 500, they lose two in a row to Toronto, *at home*.  As far as the Heir's concerned, it's *even worse* than when Main Team lost 10 in a row and were in the basement AL East.  How will they ever make the World Series for the rest of their existence now?

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

The Heir's glad that Main Team One won this one, winning them the series 2 out of 3.  But as far as he knows, this is one of only two series Main Team has won since opening day.  He's hoping they'll start something big going out onto the road the next couple of weeks.  Hopefully they'll succeed where other New York teams (in most sports) have failed thus far.  Maybe the Rangers will do well, but the Heir doesn't follow hockey.

Another dead rocker.  The Heir went through a Prince phase until his peers started questioning the Heir's masculinity.  Then he stopped.  Also the Heir hasn't forgotten how Bob Geldof went after Prince for not making an appearance at Live Aid.  1985 was not such a great year for Prince, and it took him until Batman in 1989 before he got respect of the world again.  And now, no one remembers how they ripped on him.  Big difference 31 years makes.  Though the Heir is not a Prince person, Prince will still be missed all the same.

For what it's worth, the Heir has turned into Brooklyn's last game of the season.  Until late October.  It would be nice if they won so the Heir can at least give them a one game win trophy.  That might not happen, but the Heir at least wants to hear what Brooklyn's future ex coach has to say,  before calling for the firing of Mikhail Prokorov.  And that's all the Heir has to say at this time.

Another disgraceful game by Brooklyn.  The Heir switches his radio off twice in a row on them.  Now why do good fans follow bad teams?  It's a philosophical question.

Happy Spring, people, on the verge of some snow we might get.  And speaking of spring, the Heir finds hilarity in the following: "Yankees fans! If you have Comcast, you will miss the entire Yankees season on YES."  Seeing how you can catch it on the radio no matter what, the Heir thinks of this as a first world problem.

"Be grateful that some of you at least have safe drinking water."

The Heir's Next Step Toward The Time When The Time Will Come Around.  The Heir's getting there, and he shocked everyone by making an extended appearance at Barbecue Spice Kitchen this past December.  Sonya's mad at him, though, for making a comeback that she feels is too late at this point.  Carmen, on the other hand, tells him that her friends in the trade greatly admire Heir's frugal ways, because they have spendthrifty bad habits.  The Heir was also wondering if there's even one thing that Donald Trump has said that wasn't controversial.  If he did, it would make all the papers.  Everyone except Sonya's giving the Heir care packages off their plates, inspiring the ire of the Chef, who's kind of a table manners cop.  Because Food should be serious, even if it's mellow.  After the newest Star Wars movie came out last year, it reminded the Heir of an even bigger controversy than Han Shot First, and that was Sandpeople They're The Worst.  He's pretty sure Luke says that rather than Sandpeople Or Worse.  The Heir last year during economic troubles was able to buy audio accessories online for no more than $25, saving him $100 or so.  He needed to do that for Music The Third Pillar.  And he's thinking about meeting friends of friends more once he feels up to it.  And he still believes in the importance of living without compromise.  On Audio (Play All): https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/

This year, Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday fall on separate days.  That means the Heir doesn't get to call it Super Fat Tuesday.
