Oh, I forgot to write down my thoughts on the #Seahawks game last night:
1. Good complementary football
2. Cris Collinsworth's bias of #Chiefs Patrick Mahomes is wild
3. The Swifties are out of control
4. Ty Okada is a beast
5. Nick Emmanwori, animal
6. Felt like Walker was his old self when he played in Seattle.
7. DL amazing at stopping the run; secondary locked down.
8. Sam Darnold played his best game this season so far, confident
9. Emanuel Wilson proving people wrong
10. Anthony Bradford was/is the glue of the OL
11. Abraham Lucas best game, same as everyone else
12. Michael Dickson is an amazing punter
13. The lack of penalties was great because ref John Hussey is a tough one
14. Best game from Derick Hall
15. Tryice Knight played with heart
16. JSN is JSN
17. Tory Horton played well, and so did Rashid Shaheed.
18. Offensive playcalling was scuffed at times.
19. The defense sometimes was caught off guard or slacked off to get players off the field.
20. The Sam Darnold and JSN connection is such a beautiful thing to see.
@Allegiant I was charged a $50 overweight bag fee at PDX today after receiving three different readings on three scales: 57 lbs, 57.5 lbs, and 59 lbs. I asked for an accurate measurement and was told to pay or remove 7.5 lbs. Inconsistent scales shouldn't determine customer fees
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@Delta has been really disappointing today. Flight delayed, missed connection, rebooked to the next day and airplane not waiting, put in THE sketchiest hotel ever, and arriving late to my destination by a day 😊 not how to treat any customer, let alone gold/platinum medallion!
