Question. I've never used Lyft or Uber or such. Say I want to arrange a ride via Lyft from the airport to my hotel, how far in advance do you set that up? If you set if up and your flight gets delayed can you change it? Or do you set it up after you arrive?
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

You can book a Lyft ride a week in advance, which locks in the price. You can also just call a Lyft when you get there, and I can't imagine you'd have much trouble getting one at the airport.
You can cancel a planned ride, but if the driver is already on the way, you'll be charged a fee.

Special election in TX yesterday State Senate seat in a district that has been D for a long time. The seat is open because the last Senator is headed to prison, guilty of 11 felonies. It's a district where there's been a lot of corruption and machine style party politics. R won the seat last night and now Rs hold 2/3 of the TX Senate.
All depressing, but this is the worst part. Only 5% of eligible voters came out.
Turnout is the only thing that will matter in Nov.

Ugh. Just had to unfriend a dude on fb who was posting about how awful it is when me. Are falsely accused of rape or harassment and lose their jobs. And I was like "yeah, it's unfortunate but so rare that ima spend lots more time worrying about the many women who suffer from harassment and assault and are disbelieved when they come forward" and he was like "oh so you're "shoot them all and let god sort it out?#democrats2018" and I just couldn't. I really wonder if his wife is even reading his fb (I don't know her)

We're doing mandatory overtime this weekend, yippie-skippie. A full shift on Saturday. I'm too crabby for this sort of thing. I've gotten boring, too, because I'm thinking of dumping the overtime into savings this year instead of a cool new electronic device.

Our wings are not tired.
Sorry, meara. I am quick with the unfriend button these days. Zero tolerance. Very rarely I will get into a bit with strangers on comment sections, but come to my senses and disengage. Trying to not waste my energy on changing people and working on getting sane people, like the young people in my life, to vote. Too many of them didn't in 2016.
