Fuck flying. Well, fuck flying while the feds are conducting security.

The ability to liquidate makes sense too. I was really only considering inflation.

I have never been more happy to get rid of anything than my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It was nothing but constant challenges: the mechanical aspects, the electrical system, and rust. It wasn’t all bad, but I spent far more time during those 6 years driving my 1987 pickup than my 2000 Jeep.

At 2%, you should have financed the whole thing and put your $15,000 to work elsewhere.

It’s hard to put faith in someone who, when speaking about car buying advice, mentions “down payment” twice. Don’t make a down payment! You’re just giving the stealership cash.

Don’t say vacation twice in the same sentence. That’s just weird. Call your leave or your trip something else.

I have no qualms about asking what’s cheap. I will drink enough of the cheap stuff to still guarantee a good tip for an honest answer.

I’m a truck guy. My best wild find was an early 60s Studebaker Champ.

I’ve bought her lots of books over the years! I got her a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas too.

There’s been several I couldn’t get in the last year. Most recently, my wife wanted to read The Minds of Billy Milligan. Despite being from a popular author (Daniel Keyes, who also wrote Flowers for Algernon), it was unavailable as an e-book. I ended up giving her a new paperback copy for Valentine’s Day.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that! I did that last time.

Isn’t everyone? Or at least the socket.

Time is money and letting a machine do all the work is the way to go. Every couple of years I go dump a Tupperware bowl full into a local Coinstar. It counts it and deposits it into my PayPal account.

A little over a year ago, I made a plan to read more. I bought a Kindle Paperwhite. I had a smartphone and a tablet, and I’ve read plenty on both, but I always found myself distracted by Facebook and texts. Also, relying on the phone for daily communication, I had to make sure I plugged it in before falling asleep.

Windows is better, but only because games. But is there much difference between Mac and Linux?

Instead of evolving better teeth, we evolved dentists. #samesame

We have a right to peaceably assemble. We do not have a right to destroy the property of others even if we believe it to symbolize something we disagree with.

Don’t take a car with you. Buy a diesel Land Cruiser when you get there.

It’s the fucking internet. Stop whining about someone duplicating your stupid video game clips.

It smells the same. If you were a non-smoker, you’d know.
