I’m not a big fan of their chef’s knife (that metal handle is not comfortable), but their tomato knives are the best ever. Mine’s going on 25 years old now.

Rada’s vegetable peelers are also the best ever, and mine’s also been in heavy use for over twenty years. They’re crazy cheap for how long g they last.

In OP’s case, it belongs to his 70 year old aunt, who is likely retired on a fixed income and can’t afford a $40k new car. In the US, there are very few places were you can easily get along without a car, so if you have a low income, you drive what you can afford. My mom drives a 2005 Toyota that she’ll probably drive for the next 10-15 years.

It makes a difference because the label prostitute is still used as a shorthand that a woman wasn’t a valuable human being. It would make me wonder about the political agenda behind the reporting of the murders (I haven’t read the book, it’s going on my list now).
