Daily update post:

Today is the 80th day of the war. It's been 80 days since Israelis all learned that we're not safe from Palestinian terrorists even in our own homes. It's been 80 days since most Jews worldwide have come under attack, of one type or another, following the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. It's been 80 days since over 100 Israeli hostages have slept in their own beds. It's been 80 days of having to explain that we didn't start or want this war. It's been 80 days of looking at our loved ones, and knowing that on Oct 7, it could have been them. It's been 80 days of knowing that we'll have to keep losing Israelis, and mourning our people, if we want to rid the world (Israelis and Palestinians alike) of the threat of Hamas.

And indeed, two more Israeli soldiers were killed yesterday, while no less than 14 fuenrals for young soldiers, most of them around 19 or 20 years old, were held all across the country. One of the funerals had to be held low key, with almost no attendance, because the kibbutz this young soldier, Gal Hershko, belongs to is in the north, and the community members are evacuated, due to Hezbollah rockets being fired at the area. It would be too risky for them to be at that cemetery. The eulogies for Gal were held at a gym, close to where the evacuated members of the community are staying.

Israel is letting into Gaza 80,000 vaccines for children, to help with the health situation there.

The Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya has experienced a serious issue with its computers system since yesterday, it's possibly another cyber attack, like the unsuccessful one on the Ziv Hospital (the one that's now known to have been carried out jointly by Hezbollah and Iran). The GMC has had to shut down its computers, and has initiated a special protocol that exists for such situations, saying no medical service has so far been stopped. Let's hope that this is resolved quickly, and doesn't end up costing any human life.

Ukrainian-born Israeli gymnast, Olympic gold medalist and world champion Artem Dolgopyat has decided to auction the world championship gold medal that he won on Oct 7, and donate the money to the Israelis from the communities which were massacred on that day. Winning this medal was his stated dream after taking gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But when asked about this, he replied, ""What is the status of a world champion worth if my country hurts? The state of Israel comes first for me."

This is CCTV footage, showing a fragment of a rocket that hit an Israeli supermarket, after it was successfully intercepted by Iron Dome (for all the people who think Israel should just be okay with rockets being fired at it, because we have this defense system):

What I also find interesting is that this was shared by al-Arabiya, a Saudi news channel. One of the theories about the timing of Hamas' massacre, is that it was meant to provoke an Israeli reaction so fierce, that the Arab world would have to take a stand against Israel, and the possibility of peace talks between the Israelis and Saudis would come to an end. If that was the intention, al-Arabiya posting footage that explains to the Arab world, the Israeli POV, is an indication that maybe those peace talks still have a chance.

This is 30 years old Israel Chana.

On the morning of Oct 7, he was coming back from celebrating his 30th birthday with his family, friends, ad the girlfriend he told his mom he wanted to propose to. After the rocket attacks started, the terrorists got to his neighborhood. Israel worked as a security guard. He grabbed his pistol, 15 bullets, and went out to fight the terrorists. He saved his neighborhood, but was killed himself.

May his memory be a blessing.

My cousin recently came by the house with the ‘72 GMC pickup truck that he’d found at a storage yard auction. Turns out the previous owner put it there, presumably intending to get around to finishing it, and then stopped paying the bills for whatever reason. Over the years, the indebted truck began to sublet its space to a group of rodents, and then eventually the yard owner decided he would rather be renting that space to someone who could pay.

The hammer decided that my cousin would get it for five hundred smackaroos (an audaciously large number; he works in technology) and then, after a couple bug bombs in the interior, he drove it home. Everything was decrepit and poorly-maintained, with a variety of parts-store wiring hijinks on full display inside the cabin. One valve cover – and only one – had been replaced with some gaudy chrome bullshit, which wasn’t even bolted down properly and was seeping oil. There was no way any reasonable mechanic would rate the vaguely banana-shaped frame, which gave the truck a depressing lopsided angle to the cab, as “extant,” let alone street-legal. I was in love.

Of course, he wouldn’t let me have it that easily. In my family, we were raised to do things the hard way, and that didn’t include cutting deals for slack-assed cousins who already have a shitload of unfinished, non-running Mopars stuffing their yard and neighbourhood and never call Grandma Switch to talk about spaghetti sauce anymore. We decided that we would instead call upon our other family tradition, the Christmas Day heads-up, no-prep drag race for pinks.

I hustled out whatever I could get to run. This time, my fearsome steed was a ‘70 Scamp with half of its grille missing, and the other half hole-sawed to make room for a 63-millimeter ball-bearing turbocharger that probably used to live on a Komatsu heavy excavator. Somewhere inside the engine bay was the world’s angriest four-cylinder engine, whose make and model I could no longer remember after having driven over the shattered crankshaft of so many on my way to a thirteen-second quarter mile and subsequent ejection from the venue because I couldn’t bother to even put in a chintzy bolt-in roll cage.

You might think that a stock ‘72 GMC pickup (horsepower: not much) does not have a snowball’s chance in Hell against the screaming ferocity of Chryco’s finest feature-lightened sedan for the impoverished. And you’d be right, especially after I had a friend slink over to his truck in the parking lot and cut two of the spark plug wires. Sure, my cousin’d blame the packrats in the yard, and maybe even his own lack of attention to the vehicle’s integrity, but ultimately the truck would stay within the family, ensconced within a protective radius of broken cars in my back forty. I was feeling pretty good about the whole thing, betraying a family member for a small monetary gain and all.

Friends: hubris has its cost. You might remember earlier that I mentioned this took place on Christmas Day. Well, it turns out that when you spin a little bit on ice, and rev the whatever-it-is engine to the moon as a result, all that spicy air from the turbocharger really wants to escape out the oilpan. On the plus side, the momentum from the horsepower generated up until that explosion, and the reduced friction from my 17-year-old all-seasons drinking up the oil cascading from the shattered wreckage of the engine, carried me at least an eighth of a mile to victory. At least until the violently misfiring truck passed me at a snail’s pace, slowly plodding its way to the end of the block.

My cousin even gave me a ride home after, which he went to special pains to point out was actually my gift for this year. Nothing like family.

1993 GMC Typhoon on C4 Corvette Wheels Is Our Bring a Trailer Pick of the Day

Car and Driver Back before performance-oriented SUVs were even a thing, General Motors busted out its crystal ball in the early ’90s with the original hi-po ute, the GMC Typhoon. There’s currently a 1993 model listed on the Bring a Trailer auction site—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos. While the Typhoon in question is not museum quality, it is a piece of history I could thrash…

2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 Is Our Bring a Trailer Auction Pick of the Day
