I have never not enjoyed a movie that Tom Cruise has been in, which is something I can’t say about very many actors.

I was a big fan of Tex Critter’s Pizza Jamboree way back when

On long road trips, my brother and I would simply lay down. We took turns to see who got the bench and who had to bend their knees over the transmission tunnel laying on the floorboards.

Amen. Jack in the Box has like 4 times the number of menu items it actually needs. (though once they messed up and gave me one of those chicken pita things...it wasn’t bad, but I’m never going to order one on purpose)

The article doesn’t say, but I wonder how this regulation applies to child custody? Because I cannot imagine that would fly in the USA if it purported to prohibit kids from going to their regularly scheduled stay at the other parent’s house. In my situation, for example, although there is joint legal and physical…

It was a different time, when cars needed to refuel more frequently because of poor gas mileage, and trips took longer in general because of lower speed limits on these two-lane highways compared to interstates. And you were essentially forced to stop for the night because very few places were open 24 hours, unlike…

It’s sort of a weird state of being to believe that a) you absolutely MUST HAVE powerful weapons in order to stand up against the tyranny of the federal government; but also b) American troops would never ever fire on their fellow (white) Americans.

I have no doubt it will all eventually get eaten.

Several weeks ago, my girlfriend went out and panic-bought about $200 worth of pork products. All of it is still sitting in the deep freezer. Maybe this weekend, if it ever stops raining, we’ll have some sort of porkstravaganza.

A fun fact, relevant to no one but me: my first date was to see Top Gun in the theater.

Honestly this pandemic has me sleeping more than ever before. Prior, I was a night owl, rarely in bed before midnight during the week and getting 6ish hours a night of sleep, usually up until at least 2 on the weekends. Now? I’m ready for bed at 10:30, hardly ever up past 11, and I’m getting a solid 7-8 hours.

Oh, I think the bars will be packed the moment they are allowed to be. A lot of pent-up energy is going to override common sense.

I daydream about something utterly mundane, like grocery shopping or getting a haircut, trying to envision as many specific details as possible. I usually only get down an aisle or two before I drift away.

My auto lender last month was practically urging me to take a deferment. “Are you SURE you aren’t experiencing any negative effects from COVID?”

I wonder if poor people have ever tried being...less poor? It really helps you avoid financial jams.

You are not. I don’t eat crunchy bacon.

I had a 1985 Grand Prix that I drove for several years before offloading it and its non-opening passenger door and failing compression for a few hundred bucks. My brother had a 1987 Bonneville that got totaled in an accident with a semitrailer only months after he acquired it...he promptly converted the insurance…

Our next door neighbor growing up owned a Chevy dealership. He always drove a shiny new Corvette.

For all of my greeting card needs, I now buy blank cards and write a personal note. It’s at least slightly more sincere than Hallmark’s treacle, and much more appreciated. 

I’ve also seen some restaurants that are decent at taking orders online...but don’t have a tip line when it comes to checkout/paying by credit card. You’re relying on me to have cash (which I usually don’t).
