I got pulled out of line and interviewed after they scanned my carry on bag. What rang there bell was my paperback book. I guess the title and cover picture was suspicious.

You skipped over self-employed business owners. Six figures can be had if you know what your doing. My first business was a convenience store with full service gas pumps, located in a rural area with very little competition. Earned low six figures the first year, and that was back in 1984. 

When available: Guanciale grease>duck fat>bacon grease. It’s all good!

I’ve been to that Hardee’s many times. It’d be a shame to see it go. They’ve been there so long, the grease has just the right amount of aging to it. Delicious burgers!

Don’t forget the fart cans too. They’re everywhere. Central Pa is a hotbed of this crap.

Placement is key for the impulse sales game. One of our regional grocery chains has a nice display of candy bars by the self checkout. But, they’re not properly placed. They sit up high, just above and next to the machine that spits out your receipt. That’s too late to make it an impulse buy. Our local Lowes, Home…

Yep, I agree. My first two cars were towed to the house. Dad had me hand him whatever cash I could afford, he’d find a junker for me cheap. Then my auto mechanic Dad would teach me how to rebuild the engine, brakes, whatever. Took months till I’d saved enough cash from my two jobs to buy all the parts they needed. I…

I rarely visit fast food places, but when I do it’s always at the walk up counter vrs drive thru. When ordering, I always ask them to give me just ONE napkin and ONE ketchup, save them some bucks on this stuff, right? But every time the mindless cashier instead throws a handful of both in the bag. If I give the extras…

Loved him in West Wing. 

This is nothing new.

I feel very blessed for my five grand kids, and am happy they can travel in a safe and well made 7 passenger Toyota Sienna.

Nope, not much fun to be had here. But.... this might attract a Hollywood supplier of vehicles for the movie industry. This would be a great  addition to their inventory of 70's cars.

I agree with many of the positive comments here regarding the Aftershokz Aeropex. Had mine for about 3 months now and love them. Picked them up on sale at Best Buy. Easy to use and although the sound isn’t high fidelity, they work quite well for my needs. Working in the yard, hiking, anytime I want to hear my music…

This is my daily life, every day. And I haven’t run 10' since I was a kid. Must be another symptom of old age.

Or a stand up comic. 

Very good point. Bought my first of many cheap junkers when I turned 16, back in 1972. The first three I had to tow home and then rebuild, that’s all I could afford back then. Here’s the list of cars I’d driven until my first new car, a 1980 Honda Civic. What a difference in quality, ride, economy and reliability. I…

Similar history here, but we’d sometimes go high brow with Mateus. Often used that in our water pipes. 

“Best of Bread” 8-track in my van. Someone broke in and stole the tape player. That or the time my girlfriend found some other girl’s headband in the car.

Yep, The darkest moods find the darkest corners.
