Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Our wings are not tired.

My car has about 120,000 miles on it now and it's showing its age. It knows it is on the chopping block because the back up camera hadn't been working and suddenly started working again a couple days ago.

Coding and Sleeping

Cool!

My car has 240,000 miles and I've been having thoughts about getting something newer and more economical. Hoping it can go to my son after that. Runs like a clock, but the sound deadening isn't what it used to be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Connie, they told me that I shouldn't drive/operate heavy machinery, drink alcohol or sign legal documents for the next 24 hours. Beyond that, nothing.

Yeah, between the kids working for Tesla and the no gas expense at all thing, that was a tipping point.

We went out to eat tonight and I was the only person in the restaurant wearing orange. At least there were several in my exercise class this morning sporting orange.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Laura, that sounds great! I hope you'll let us know how it works out for you. I've seen a few Teslas around here, but I don't think I know anyone who drives one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sheryl, can you do me a favor? Can you drive my tractor to the bar to cosign a contract for me? Ta ever so.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We went outside and socialized with neighbors (though mostly neighbors' dogs). And then we came back inside because it is fucking hot. Up to 101 today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Got a pedicure, spent a million dollars at the hipster bagel place (although half of the sandwich was actually plenty, so maybe it was a bargain?), just switched my closets and made a bag for Goodwill. Now what? I'm overly caffeinated, I realize. It's not 101, but it feels hot for yardwork. Maybe I'll just do it anyway.

Good news, you guys -- I sat quietly for a while and the feeling passed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was legit concerned!

"Don't do it, Jesse! You'll get so sweaty and feel beat for the rest of the day!"
