There’s a well-written article in “The Atlantic” about Boeing.  Worth reading if you are interested.  Not sure if it is paywalled or not.

This was from back when Indiana University had the best college swim team in the country.  (It’s where Mark Spitz swam.) And some of these boys are *handsome*!

That looks like the Chicago skyline.  Was this taken from Northwestern University?

I didn't know about this correspondent, or the story, but I just watched the video and it really sucks, and I'm not surprised.  TV News was a public good (some here are old enough to remember that was a law), now it's simply one more way for large companies to make a little more money.  

My dermatologist seems to really enjoy giving me a thorough full-body scan each year.  And, yes, his hand does linger when checking out the front and cupping my dick and balls.  The guy’s no heart-stopping beauty but, tbh, I have to say that I don’t mind the attention.

You mean the Lexus NX350h.
First, use the industry Black Book (not Blue Book) to see what a dealer has paid for the car wholesale.  That's where you start negotiations.
Don't let a salesperson know too much, too quickly- They'll ask if you're leasing, financing or a cash buyer.  Don't set this in stone until you get a price you agree with. 
Never buy the first visit to the dealer.
Always be prepared to get up and walk out.
And if you walk out, make sure you leave with the salesperson's final price quote on the car (drive-out price) and that he has your phone number.
End of the month is always better to buy than early or mid.
Bottom line, you don't really negotiate.  You wait them out until they hit the (realistic) number you want.  If the model isn't a massive seller, you're more likely to win playing the long game if you can stand it.
Note:  Don't try this with a Porsche.  I learned that the hard way.

@Shoedog112 Before talking to the dealer about the value of your trade-in, take the car to a CarMax and have them tell you what they would buy it for.  (It takes less than an hour, and you can make an appointment ahead of time.). That price will be good for 7 days.  Then, when you go to the dealer to finalize the purchase, you will know what you can get for your car and counter their trade-in offer.  Like you, I have never wanted to sell my old car myself, but I hate to leave money on the table and found this to work well for me in the past.

Ideally, you’ll find the person that’s got it and is spreadin’ it around.

I prefer the masseur dressed when I arrive and undressed midway through when I flip over to my back. I can't see anything while I'm face down anyway and the discovery of a naked man is always a good start to a happy ending.
