Looking for outdoor furniture covers that actually hold up through multiple seasons, Chicagoland weather.

I feel like I have to buy new ones every single season!

I've watched Back to the Future probably a hundred times. It's my favorite movie ever made, but I caught something on my latest rewatch that I've apparently been missing my whole life.

The Twin Pines Mall scene. Libyans chasing Marty. For years I always saw it the same way: Marty panics, speeds away, accidentally hits 88, boom. 1955.

But this time I actually watched it. There's a while in there when Marty glances down at the speedometer, sees the needle climbing toward 88, and just…holds it. He's got a few seconds. He could brake. He could swerve. He could try literally anything else.

He doesn't. He floors it.

And that completely changed the movie for me. Marty isn't choosing 1955, there's no way he knows what date Doc has loaded in. But he definitely knew two things: 88 mph = time travel, and these guys are about to kill me.

So it's not "oops, I accidentally went back in time."

It's "I'm dead if I stay here, so I'm taking the time machine."
