Better than the toy puppy I bought for one of my pseudo nephews when he was a toddler suddenly barking in the back seat as I was driving a carful of friends on the 240 expressway late at night. Being startled by sudden noise (including the back seat passengers shrieking) while driving at 70+mph in highway traffic is not good for one's nerves.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Volans what do you mean about mail being scanned in? Are you somehow able to see your mail before you get it?? Is this magic?
It’s great. Now I don’t bother to check my mail in 2 places.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't like seeing "Held at Post Office, At Customer Request" on the tracking page for a package. That's certainly not a request that I made. The last thing I want to do is stand in line at the PO when I know that one reason delivery is so messed up is that they have a number of staff out with Covid.

What is even happening?
Speaking of LBD, you all probably already know about this, but I did not (unless I previously wiped it from my mind).

What is even happening?
I feel like I need to do some penance for that LBD vid.
I only see TikTok vids when they get big enough that someone imports them from Twitter. This morning, I learned about "Korean Dad" (or possibly "Your Korean Dad") Nick Cho, co-founder of San Francisco’s Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters.
I saw a compilation of Cho's videos from Now This: [link]
Then I read about him on Radio.com: [link]
My faith in humanity just ticked up a notch. The feeling is so unfamiliar as of late, that it startled me.

Remember in school if teacher's were 10 minutes late, we ditched class? Or was that just us?
I think it should be the same with remote work. If it takes more than half an hour to get connected you should get a free day.

We always claimed there was a 10 minute rule in high school, but we never got the opportunity to put it into practice.
