I notice more and more people around here cheating at that game lately.

I’m in sw Fla right now. Seems in this state yellow means speed up, even if you run a red! From what I gather, if you’re first at a red light, count to 3 after it turns green then look both ways before going. If you just hit the gas on green, you’re gonna get t boned!

I like rallying but lights and stop signs scare me.

It's like this around here also, eastern Mass. Pretty common to see people blow though just-turned red lights at 40mph.I’m in sw Fla right now.

Sometimes if I've got the speed and not too far, I'll push a yellow light a bit. The thing that makes me crazy is looking in the rear view mirror and saying, "Good grief, 5 more cars came through AFTER me!!!"I’m in sw Fla right now.

Years ago I worked in Boston. I would often take a walk at lunch as I was pretty close to a park by the Charles. One day on my walk still on the city streets I saw three cars at a major intersection run the red light. The fourth car stopped. The driver behind him leaned on his horn and leaned out his window, yelling out “what the fu(+ are you doing!” I was amazed that he was mad that the driver in front of him stopped at a red light.

I think you're right. I'm going to suggest a Starfire I from late '66 to mid '67 since I don't see s second pickup, do see a neck position PU and it looks like a straight bridge with no suck switch.

Tried to find another clip with better shot, but no joy. Headstock was just blurry enough I wasn't sure if it could be another Epiphone Ravioli.
Er, Rivoli.

I didn't notice a pickguard, the bridge really looked like the "straight harp" that Guild used before they switched to the harp in 1967 and the PU looked more like a Bisonic than something with a chrome cover. Similar observations rule out Gibson EB2. IMO.
The headstock was not clear enough to be definitive but it was clear enough that it could have been a Guild.

So far, with three notable exceptions, nothing of any interest has happened yet today.
Exceptions:
1. Taking the trash out to the garbage can, I inadvertently startled two beautiful Northern Flickers that were exploring my garden. Not my pic BTW.
2. I ran out of coffee beans for my grinder in the kitchen, an event that set off a frantic search of the basement pantry/cold-room where I found a 2 lb package of a very tasty espresso blend from a boutique coffee shop/roaster. A friend had given it to me for Christmas. Life is good again for the moment.
3. And ... of course .... I visited this site.

The opening line of the Police song When the World is Running Down,You Make the Best of What’s Still Around.
“Turn on my VCR, same one I've had for years
James Brown on the T.A.M.I. Show, same tape I've had for years”
For many years, I had no earthly idea what they meant by T.A.M.I. Show, So here it is. JB and the Flames just destroyed! And The Rolling Stones were watching backstage scared completely #%&$less of having to follow THAT performance!

The first thing I'm going to do when I retire, is sleep as long as the cats will let me.
So, up at 5:30!

If they only knew then what they know now.
Then there was Ilya Kuryakin hosting "The Big T.N.T.Show":
