Hominem te esse memento. Memento mori!

I’m pushing 50, my wife and I are comfortably upper-middle class, I have 3 kids, and I just started contract delivery driving. Why? Because kids learn to drive, kids go to college, and I love vacations. (1)

@NorthernAnon_ @JackPosobiec @bofrench That’s been going on for over three decades (ask me how I know). Think you’re going to change it now? Good luck.

Huge Thanks to @MackHelms6083 for my first official offer to central Methodist!

@BowTiedTrance Even a poorly-cropped meme will work.

Two quotes rolling around my head today:

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
— Bruce Lee

A leader who can’t be criticized is a leader who will fail.
— Dwight D. Eisenhower, maybe

@jenvanlaar Took my local dealer 19 days to fix 2 @Ford recalls… despite scheduling 2 weeks in advance. 1st two weeks, 0 updates. Same car now at another shop getting transmission replaced. Ford knew the build was bad and fixed the issue for replacements, didn’t recall. $7500 repair.

@SpillTheMemes UberEats delivery driver earnings: $2.50+tip.

This shit right here. It borders on predatory, scaring seniors into thinking they’re losing insurance so you can sell your inflated, crappy warranties to them and siphon off their social security/pensions. Shame on you HomeSafe #scam

@RobProvince Give the emotions a few minutes to boil over, drop an f bomb or two shouting in the car, take a deep breath, say a prayer, and then get to work. Or go fishing.

@catturd2 Pork butt currently smoking, ribs and chicken pieces to come. T-Bones on the griddle later to finish off the smorgasbord.

The hardest part of delivering for @Doordash is not swiping @FiveGuys fries.

The DoorDash hidden tip “feature” is like a roulette wheel. Occasionally you’ll hit big, but more often you lose your shirt. 50 cents on a $2 order for a half hour delivery. Nothing like being shown in high relief how much your service is valued.

I really enjoy @grok (free version) for sorting thoughts and asking questions. It’s become @Google for me. However, it would be nice to have a little notification before the conversation threads are purged. “Surprise! Everything’s gone!” is not ideal.

@RandyEBarnett Every time I see this story, I hear Jerry Clower’s voice in my head. Thanks for triggering a memory!

@MerlinB_FX @dieworkwear Personally, my “hop over” would be the equivalent of a drive from the middle of Hungary to Southern Latvia if I went to the closest border crossing. I don’t think you quite get the scale

@CynicalPublius Portland Head Lighthouse. Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Taken ten years ago, one-handed with an iPhone while driving my youngest around in a stroller.

@markgogo Sure. You’re not likely to notice a difference in your timeline if you follow me. Or, I’m particularly entertained by the long-form posts of @RamboVanHalen, you might like that better.

[Fred Gottman @fgottman]

@RamboVanHalen I wonder if that repost was done ironically…

@Jamie_Burkart @carney I was thinking about this exact clip. Maybe my second favorite monologue in any movie ever. (The Indianapolis from Jaws being #1, of course, and slightly ahead of Nicholson’s screed from A Few Good Men).
