Lex Anteinternet: Oh no. . .

Oh no. . .

Rust above the wheel well. And it's only eleven years old.

This is my Dodge 3500. I've had it since it was new and it was (and is) my confirmed plan never to trade it in and to never buy a new truck.

Never.

But the engine on starts now runs sort of weirdly out of time occasionally. I can hear the turbocharger seemingly coming in and out at prolonged highway speed. And now rust.

It was rust that took out my black 1996 Ford F250. . . poor thing. That and the engine having a lot of miles on it and having a really hard time on cold winter mornings.

Uff.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
