He is really saying his wife wouldn't be caught dead in an RV and she
calls the shots. He also hates America so he has to hate traditional
American music. He lives in his urban east coast enclave, oblivious to
the wonders of this country beyond the very narrow corridor he lives
his life in. He has already said if he moves to South Carolina, he
will never venture west of I-95. He might actually meet some real
Americans. Oh the horror!


There you go again, offering up conclusions based on nothing.
Let's see. I've lived in Connecticut, Kansas, Missouri, West Virginia,
Michigan, New York, Florida, Virginia, and Maryland, and traveled
extensively in those regions. I've been to Louisiana three times as a
tourist, been to Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Georgia, North and
South Dakota, Nevada, New Mexico, and a few others. I even mistakenly
was in Mississippi twice.
How many states have you lived in?

I'm not a fan of country or bluegrass music. I used to like bluegrass.
My tastes in music changed. I'm not a fan of RV'ing, either.

Not a lot is understood but what is know is freaking me out.

For example:

it's like a CCD camera or something where images are focused on
the retina, transmitted to the brain via the optic nerves and
we "see".

Doesn't work that way at all.

We are not actually "seeing" anything. What we are visualizing is
the
brain's (specifically the Thalamus section) interpretation of the
electrical impulses it receives via the optical nerves which it
compares to a vast data base of previously acquired and created
visualizations that have been generated, stored and updated since you
first opened
your eyes as an infant. What you "see" is your own, personal
reality and not necessarily what others "see". You "see" a
tree and, unless there's something unique or special about it,
the thalamus just draws from the data previously stored and
adds that to the generated image. The amount of new data
it processes is very small compared to the amount of previously
acquired data it uses to create the visualization.

First time I drove to the store after watching this, I was
thinking about it and started wondering if the car I saw
slowing down ahead of me was really there. :-)




Well, that last thought of yours implies you are eating too many magic
'shrooms. :)



Reminded me of the Nissan Pathfinder I briefly owned. It had the
automatic braking system that would apply the brakes if you were
about to smash into something.

Curious as I was, I decided not to see how well it worked.


I was always afraid it would slam on the brakes when I was pulling a
NASCAR move changing lanes and get me rear ended by a truck.



It must work pretty well. Many car manufacturers have it available as
an option or as standard equipment now-a-days. You don't hear of many
accidents occurring because it activates when it shouldn't.



I think those towing big campers should have to mount a big screen TV on
the outside of the back side of their motel rooms on wheels with cameras
pointing forward on the front of the tow vehicle so that drivers behind
them can see the road ahead. Being behind those behemoths while they bob
and weave and strain to get up hills on the interstate is not a pleasant
experience.


They pay taxes to use the roads just like you do. What's the difference
between being behind one of them or behind a big box or trailer truck?

They are loud but you have to remember that a diesel, unlike a gasoline
engine, does not provide any engine braking when you take your foot
off the gas/fuel pedal. Going down a hill a diesel powered truck will
just keep accelerating and truckers would be replacing expensive brakes
often.



In 'tow/haul' mode, mine will downshift to slow down if I have the cruise control at a slower speed.
Also, going downhill and hitting the brakes will cause it to downshift.


I understand but still, a diesel offers no engine braking like a gas engine.

To 'Airree they are a symbol of wealth and success, therefore worthy
of his scorn and ridicule.


There?s nothing about towing or sleeping in a camper that appeals to me. I
especially wouldn?t tow one to West Virginia to be at a bluegrass venue at
what likely will be a rainy weekend. I wouldn?t go to a bluegrass concert
at Constitution Hall, and I don?t dislike the music. I used to like the
Dillards.

Harry, you need to stop your fixatin on me and my RV. Go talk to the shrink upstairs about this
issue.

If 'Airree owned an RV it would be the finest in the world.


The finest RVs start at 2 mil on up. But I suppose if Fat Harry
owned a Hatteras, the finest RV wouldn't be beyond his
reach.


Two million dollars for an RV to do what? Stay in some bug-ridden
campground with the likes of you or Herring?


Not when you can share your hotel room with roaches, ants,
scorpians, bed bugs, mites, crusty semen, spiders, hiv, and god
knows what else.


Yeah, I'll bet you'd find those where you'd choose to stay.


No sir, you are wrong. I know who and what has been sleeping in my bed.


You and your body full of roaches, ants, scorpions, bedbugs, mites,
spiders, but no semen because your body hasn't produced any in decades.

Cold, rainy two days so I've been holed up doing next to nothing.

Tired of politics and listening to all the political pundits so
I've been watching a PBS series on Amazon Prime video about
how the human brain works.

Not a lot is understood but what is know is freaking me out.

For example:

Sight. We don't often think about how it works but most assume
it's like a CCD camera or something where images are focused on
the retina, transmitted to the brain via the optic nerves and
we "see".

Doesn't work that way at all.

We are not actually "seeing" anything. What we are visualizing is
the
brain's (specifically the Thalamus section) interpretation of the
electrical impulses it receives via the optical nerves which it
compares to a vast data base of previously acquired and created
visualizations that have been generated, stored and updated since you
first opened
your eyes as an infant. What you "see" is your own, personal
reality and not necessarily what others "see". You "see" a
tree and, unless there's something unique or special about it,
the thalamus just draws from the data previously stored and
adds that to the generated image. The amount of new data
it processes is very small compared to the amount of previously
acquired data it uses to create the visualization.

First time I drove to the store after watching this, I was
thinking about it and started wondering if the car I saw
slowing down ahead of me was really there. :-)




Well, that last thought of yours implies you are eating too many magic
'shrooms. :)



Reminded me of the Nissan Pathfinder I briefly owned. It had the
automatic braking system that would apply the brakes if you were
about to smash into something.

Curious as I was, I decided not to see how well it worked.


I was always afraid it would slam on the brakes when I was pulling a
NASCAR move changing lanes and get me rear ended by a truck.



It must work pretty well. Many car manufacturers have it available as
an option or as standard equipment now-a-days. You don't hear of many
accidents occurring because it activates when it shouldn't.



I think those towing big campers should have to mount a big screen TV on
the outside of the back side of their motel rooms on wheels with cameras
pointing forward on the front of the tow vehicle so that drivers behind
them can see the road ahead. Being behind those behemoths while they bob
and weave and strain to get up hills on the interstate is not a pleasant
experience.


They pay taxes to use the roads just like you do. What's the difference
between being behind one of them or behind a big box or trailer truck?

Wow, that's the most childish response I've read in rec.boats, ever.
