good grief, do you remember Sissy Bars? How the hell they got that name I don't know, however, here's an even worse application of them

 Tell me that's not just a moronic thing to put on a kids bike. A sissy bar, also called a "sister bar" and sometimes "passenger backrest" is an addition to the rear of a bicycle or motorcycle that allows the rider or passenger to recline against it while riding. Thanks Steve! Thanks Gary! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sissy_bar

There is a temporary halt to F150 production at Ford, due to a fire at a parts supplier company, it may last a couple weeks

Seems like both plants that make the trucks are going to lay off workers for a bit, but the good news is that they get most of their regular pay during such rare occurances. The two plants that make the F150 are in Dearborn, Michigan and Kansas City, Missouri. https://powernationtv.com/post/ford-is-suspending-production-of-f-150-trucks
