I also recommend seeing a dermatologist if you can. I had something similar on my arms, and it wound up being an autoimmune thing that needed steroid cream to clear up.

Base it off the equivalent DC salary. Cost of living up here is so much higher than the Carolinas.

I bought a much more fuel-efficient car around the same time gas prices dipped, so I my fuel savings really just went towards having a car payment again. It is nice to not burst into tears every time I fill up, though.

Those goddamn, disgusting canals. The IA we worked with were always trying to get us to eat the fish, too.

“Fightfighting tank?” I like it. Fight fights with fights.

When I was a rent-a-cop, everyone in my introductory training (the whole day of it) was either a veteran or an old lady. It kind of makes sense to have an old lady as a security guard. Get caught shoplifting, and she’s going to make you go out back and cut your own switch.

I guess your employer has a strict no horseplay policy, huh?

I never knew I needed an old, Swedish postal vehicle, but I do.

You see tough, I see adorable. And I want it.

Of course the South is happy. We've got deep-fried food and sunshine.

"I was in Iraq in 2007 and our mission was convoy security. This particular mission I was the lead gun truck and we escorting KBR fuel trucks from Al-Taqaddum Airbase in Anbar Province to Camp Victory in Baghdad. My truck was an M1117 Armored Security Vehicle with a mine roller on the front.

You say that, but then you learn about things like peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.

Yeah, but they're 'Murrican disasters waiting to happen.

You can't tell me what to do. You're not my real dad!

I think the reason I kinda like it is exactly because it is so unnecessary.

Yes, and?

Yeah. MD drivers are the ones driving in two lanes at once.

My dad has an old, leather belt of my grandpa's with a Chevy seatbelt buckle for the buckle. It's also got his nickname across the back, except instead of "Junior," it says "Junor."

This is actually kind of awesome. A terrible idea, but awesome.

Wrecking it was an act of mercy.
