Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

Amazingly, the air freshener tree hanging from the rear view mirror looks completely unharmed…. aren’t those made of paper? How could it not burn?? Or did someone add that after the fact in a misguided attempt to overpower the seared metal/rubber odor???
