Housekeeping: Memorial Day, 2023 Edition

by Tim Healey

Published: May 26th, 2023

As per usual when faced with a holiday weekend, we are going to be off.

I don't like to say we're "celebrating" Memorial Day, so much as we are honoring those who died serving our country.

As is often the case when we're off, you might see some scheduled content popping up, and if news breaks we'll cover it. But otherwise, we're taking time off til Tuesday. Back to the grind next week.

Be safe, don't drink and drive, and come back strong next week. We'll see you then.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  I deleted my reply which was in response to a reply made by Redapple2 which I noticed that specific response from him is now gone. Since that remark is no longer here then the response is not relevant thus I deleted all my prior responses. Remember vets who have now passed and thank them for their service.

  All of that was unnecessary.

  It was necessary because the response to my remark was after the other remark I responded to was deleted. Without the other remark my remark was out of context and no longer applied.

  Redapple, I appreciate the distinction, but I want to reiterate my sentiment. Any one of our veterans could easily have been one of those that we are remembering today, and I am grateful to all of them for risking their lives in the service of our nation's safety.
