The same could be said of my 1984 733i, but I acquired it only after it had 270,000 miles and it is still my favorite car of any I’ve owned.

He introduced an amendment to only have them in school zones, then voted against it when he says they could be put everywhere, then says he realizes they could get drivers to slow down in school zones but now worries what will happen everywhere else? 🥴

lol. From Rick Atkinson’s “An Army at Dawn”
There was folderol aplenty, despite Eisenhower’s wishes, and it all rested on the commander-in-chief’s squared shoulders. Many of the distractions were fatuous. A rumor in Arab neighborhoods that Eisenhower was a Jew sent by the Jew Roosevelt to establish a Jewish state in North Africa required a leaflet campaign stressing the general’s German Protestant ancestry. The War Department tried to inflate his dignity by urging reporters not to refer to him as “Ike,” and thus ensured that the nickname would stick forever. Ever eager to see his own name in headlines, Clark gave an interview full of breezy predictions about the imminent fall of Tunis and Bizerte; Eisenhower had killed the story just before leaving Gibraltar. Draconian censorship was soon imposed, with correspondents advised that no dispatches would be allowed that made people at home feel unhappy. Equally rigorous censorship of letters home inspired one soldier to write his parents: After leaving where we were before we left for here, not knowing we were coming here from there, we couldn’t tell whether we had arrived here or not. Nevertheless, we now are here and not there. The weather here is just as it always is at this season. The people here are just like they look. On this page a censor scribbled simply, “Amen.”

My dad would make “Gunsmoke” references all the time. He’s been ln dead for more than a quarter century.
From the Hollywood Reporter: “They drew those guns so fast, they looked like Matt Dillon,” the president said of the moment Secret Service agents apprehended the suspect who attempted to sprint past them. The president’s remark sparked some confusion online with some users on X wondering why Trump called out actor Matt Dillon as other users insisted he was referring to Gunsmoke character U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon, played by James Arness.
