Harry had a problem with his new car. Ok, it wasn't "New" new, it was new to him. A used car that, on initial inspection at the used car lot, looked very much like it was in excellent condition.
Harry did test drive it and have a mechanic give it a once over to make sure there was nothing major wrong and it passed with flying colors.
It wasn't until a week after he bought it that harry started having a serious problem. One morning he started up and pulled out of his driveway on the way to work and both of the front tires simply fell off.
He ended up having a neighbor give him a ride to work. When he got home he called the mechanic and arranged to have the car towed in to find out why the wheels fell off and hopefully fix it.
The mechanic spent a while looking things over in great detail and came back to tell Harry that it was the strangest thing he'd ever seen. Apparently somewhere in the assembly that keeps the wheels on, in addition to things like lug nuts & such, there was a cotter pin missing on each side. This guaranteed that they'd not stay on for long. It was also something that a pre-buy inspection would never find because you'd have to remove a bunch of stuff to spot it.
Just to be sure, Harry had him check the rear wheels as well.

Jay, a recent newcomer to Nutjob Hills was in the Nutjob Hills Diner the other day talking to some of the people who run most of the businesses in downtown.
He was very curious about whether they were seeing a slowdown in business recently. When everybody assured him that business was great he said that his business had actually dropped off quite a lot ever since he put up a new sign in his window that said "abogado de inmigracion". The response was quick from several who pointed out that his problem was that there's never been much call in these parts for immigration law.
Lenny B. summed it up nicely by saying "That's a big city problem, We're just a small town that most of the world has never heard of."
The first two of probably six launches to get the colonizer ship in orbit and dock several H.O.M.E. modules & an interplanetary drive to it.
I didn't mention this in the video but I've really got to hurry up with this because the launch window to Duna is closing and it'll be just under a Kerbin year before it opens again. Because of this I may do several of the needed launches off camera.

Nutjob Hills is known for having a rather plentiful population of, shall we say unconventional, scientists and researchers. Over the years I've come to the point where I don't often even notice this but once in a while somebody manages to get some serious notice for an outlandish idea
Short spoken Frieda is one such example. She's called "short spoken" because that's exactly what she is. She only speaks when absolutely necessary and then only just enough to express her thoughts.
In a recent town hall meeting the topic of increasing air pollution was under discussion and after hearing several people talk about different ways to solve the problem Frieda got up, went to the mic and said "buy hepa filter". After a few seconds of puzzled looks the city council members began questioning her for more detail. The long and short of it is that she wanted the city to build a gigantic air filer array and use large fans to direct all of the air through it to remove pollutants.
What's more surprising is that the council decided to form a committee to do a feasibility study.
