For some reason I was only half paying attention when Pooh stuff was read by my parents as bedtime stories, and has been a lifelong habit, I would have trouble following the plot lines and would gather misimpressions about aspects of the stories. Long story short: I never got over my disappointment when my long-held belief that Christopher Robin was a robin was shattered by reality, lol.
This morning's nature observations created some interesting but odd pictures as I tried with very limited success to hide from these skittish creatures and use the proper magnification for pics that I had to take quickly, often before the camera was focused properly.
I drive a Tahoe. I just spent 2500.00 to have it repaired after it sat for awhile after I had surgery & because it was running really rough when I started it. It was because all that EPA REQUIRED crap gas is made from corn, & builds up in the engine, gets sticky, & freezes things up because there isn't enough detergent in the fuel to keep that from happening. I don't think they should have to pay (if in fact they do) to be listed as TT. I think it's more probable that they have to cover the cost for TT to have their products independantly tested to verify that the product meets their established standard.
I also know that my truck, that I've tried to take very good care of, is running better, & using less gas than it was, even after I had it repaired. Do I know know how many mpg I'm getting? No. Will I try to figure it out?. No. Do I care? No. As long as my truck is running as smoothly as it did the day I bought it I'm happy.

Yep, Ethanol is why there has to be stronger detergents in our gas to begin with.Great catch! Can't remember hearing it before... probably did... <sigh>

Don't u ever tell me wut ta dew, fella! Just cuz it raisez food prices and letz ya gets less miles to da gallon ain't no reezon to... to... hmmm...
Ok, nevermind. :/
The testing cost is actually paid by the companies that make the additives. The additional fees charged by TT, which is an automobile manufacturers association not affiliated in any way with any government agency, are charged to the gasoline companies based on the number of outlets where the gasoline company sells gasoline, er, petrol.
The reason for my objections is that a gasoline company could make gasoline which meets the TT standards, but if they don't pay the piper they don't get the TT label to put on their gas.
What is the bright green, almost neon, lizard that looks like a chameleon but is slower to change colors if at all?
THANKS!!! So Glad I found the PORCH -- he-he! I hope there is not a weight limit and the porch does not collapse from my being here. I have put on over eight pounds since last year after surgery and am working hard at becoming healthy. I was blown away at all the people here and could not believe the pics, music, wonderful people and real bonds of friendship. This is such a good way to start the day for me! Thank you!!!

Just common courtesy, & ECF's rulz that we have to keep in mind of course. The back Porch is about relaxing, sitting on the Porch, enjoying whatever views you like, in whatever seat you find comfy, & with beverage & juice of your choice. And shopping. Lots of shopping.vape Suzette said:

Actually, the "chameleons" we bought at the pet-store when we were kids were anoles. They didn't change color much like a true chameleon would.

My cat is always bringing them in to me...he loves me soooo much ! 
They get into our screen room.
The last 3 I have picked up to toss outside have latched on to my hand !
Freaks the crap out of me and of course they got slung across the room with reaction.
I guess they were too stressed at that moment.

We had one from the pet store. The cat got it, and we rescued it. It lived, but the tail was half bit off. The vet said to use superglue to glue it back on, and it worked! 
That would only be true if the spiders bit the bugs more than they bite me, but since that is not the case... paper towel, shoe, book, magazine, whatever is to hand is my response to spiders in the house.One of the reasons we allow some spiders to reside indoors
outside the house... well not hanging from the screened in area - clear those out about 3 times a year. But, anywhere else outside, I leave them alone.
The "daddy long legs" won't bite, unless you're smaller than it and have more than two legs. While they can have a startle factor, they'd just as soon run from you as not. They're always welcome inside and outside our house. Others, well, yeah, it depends. Some get relocated outside. Some get relocated into another life
Uh, time for a shower?
