The Bachelor Declaration Of The Concept Of Prepper Maker.  We've been waiting weeks to let people know about Prepper Maker, but it's been going on with the Bachelor since before then.  It's the *other* maker movement not content with today's high tech status quo.  It's about self sufficiency, and saving and preserving cultural meaning through the creation of simpler tech crafts.  Listen in for more.  And while you do so, you'll hear reminders that once Bill DiBlasio is made into a one-term Mayor, his Vision Zero Initiative will go out with him, and people will drive dangerously once more in New York City.  The Heir's convinced of the closeted hypocrisies of those politicians who favor the "bathroom laws" in the south, and he's not all that sympathetic for the Verizon strikers from earlier this year.  He also believes that the war on drugs wasn't about discrimination, but about making it safe for people to get help for their drug problems at a time 20-30 years ago when drug dealers practically seized control of the country.  It's apparent to him that there's a Zikaphobia going on, when there too few cases to get worried about, compared to heart disease and cancer.  He's concerned for the potential for indiscriminate spraying.  On audio (click Play All): https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/

"If you really, really need a tabletized dash, why can't it be inconspicuous under where the radio is here?"-Heir

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)
