i know a guy who was a bum for 24 years and decided to change his life before he turned 30
so he quit drinking, bought a Starlink subscription + Toyota RAV4, began storm chasing and started contributing to his 401k
he’s still a bum but now he’s 26
My favorite satellite GOES-19 is down so I can’t track the wildfire smoke from my third desktop monitor inside my Northern New Jersey gated community, so I’m blacked out, face down in the driveway. My wife is crying, begging me to come inside and sing Happy Birthday to my son. “Just please reverse the Subaru Crosstrek” I whisper into the concrete.
