Hey, apologies for not getting back to you earlier. A bit of a seismic life shake up just took place on my end.

Asleep and intoxicated while black, contempt of cop while black, and attempted fleeing while black equals one more dead black person notch for the cops on their collective gunblets!

I was late too, but that sounds like a decent way to eff with people using a lame company and a probably over-eager and desperate sales rep!

This is the graduate level course of Quantum Butter Spreading On Shitty Dry American Toast that comes after the pre-reqs of The Advanced Thermodynamics of Water Boiling.

“Life Alert, help us! Our rude Senior Travels tour guide was so sick of our questions that he left us stranded on the edge of the Grand Canyon! I’m rolling and I cannot stop!”

Ha! looking at that wall o’ text, I think it’s more semi-coherent rambling with a few salient points than a tutorial, but anyway. Brevity is clearly not my strong point, but I’ll try to keep it a slightly more contained here.

Ok, here’s a LONG, LONG, but VERY basic primer that I hope helps a bit.

Vent warning followed by deep appreciation:

This is great! It’s so nice to hear some good news for once! I remember at some point in the relatively distant past (these brutal Trumpish years have thrown off time and space concepts) that you were sounding a bit stressed, so this is a vastly improved and happier sounding Fox! Awesome!

S’up, Sim! I feel ya doing something professionally and not being into in personally. I worked at a fairly large coffee roaster and despite working there, I am one of those weirdos who doesn’t drink it and I still never found my love for coffee. Not that I didn’t drink it there, as that was part of the job. I would…

Oh damn, trapped on a flight and flying too hard! At least it sounds like you were able to handle it well. I love my old timey Vapor Doc vaporizer. I always know how it will hit and it really makes even a small bit last for a very long time. And then the leftovers can be used for butter.

Hey, I remember having a discussion with you about vaping a good while back. Did you ever end up trying out some sort of vape system and if you did, did you like it?

That’s what I’ve always called them and I have no reason to change now. So, yeah...

Well, we already know from multiple criminal and terroristic events that they are willing to kill and die for their clown, so nothing is safe when these nutjobs are out loose. And you gotta love the delusion of those people on that CNN piece. ‘will apply the Constitution and not try to change it through judicial…

My late dad retired as a captain or one of those long, seamen filled tubes. Probably why I correctly or incorrectly call most of those types of sandwiches ‘subs’.

At home, I do a fair amount of #2 grilled cheese or just a basic ham sandwich. If I go out, it’s usually a #6, the sub/italian. Oh, I still do the occasional eggs in a hole, or whatever they’re called, thingie. I’ve been making a ton of burrito-type of devices, but I think that’s maybe a different thing, or not? 

Guilty (but not a dad or hipster-just older and sorta lame).

A buddy of mine bought a freezer and started buying half a cow with some of his other hard-core carnivor friends. He said it was something like 200 to 300+ lbs., depending on the cow and about half of it was ground beef. It was either pro-wrapped in freezer paper or in vacuum sealed bags. As a big beef eater, he says…

His lobby buddies were always, ‘Dude, you look sooo baked...’

The biggest thing that could really turn the tide is if and when the Rs finally figure out that their useful idiot is no longer useful and the Rats flee the Trumptanic and swim to shore for their lives.
