I’m all about this. https://t.co/GsLjGzhZkx

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

only knew Emeril as the "BAM" guy growing up,
he's so much more than that

highlights of a Beef Wellington recipe, including all the fellas sharing a laugh about some cream and a knowing look from Emeril as everyone communicates without having to say it, going nuts for wine, and a great ad lib about using a spatula

@AdamRy_n Wonderful read. May Aldon forever be gentle on your mind.

@T_OConnell Thanks Tim. Been following and mimicking trades since your Potbelly posts!
You deserve the retirement and will be sorely missed, appreciate all the gains! 🥲

NEW: Satellite images from @Maxar show multiple Russian military deployments in Belarus, Crimea, and western Russia that reflect an increased level of activity and readiness. The map below shows the locations of the high-resolution imagery.

Dying oil and gas wells are a climate menace.

One company — Diversified Energy — has amassed about 69,000 wells across the U.S.

Our reporters went to some of those sites and found that many were emitting methane. [THREAD] https://t.co/QH3mk7nwed

@outsidemagazine @ZacBookman summiting Everest has intrinsic danger, which you acknowledged by signing a waiver. Don’t know how you’ve decided to sue over this. Sets a bad precedent of chancing high risk over lives. You can always try another season, but you can’t get people back

@MikePosner I spent a month each summer growing up at @ymcacampbelknap on Lake Winnipesaukee in NH. It’d be an ideal spot to stop and share your journey / message and learn about Woodcraft / Native American heritage. No shortage of campfires up there either.

[Ryan TuckΞrman @RTuckerman]

@MikePosner Keep going Mike. It’s been a fun journey to follow. One step at a time!

Last check in was April 19, @UberEats. Now I’m left wondering if they kept up their impressive 3.1666667 burgers a day pace

@UnderArmour second time wearing these guys and the inner heel cleat is nearly gone. Could I get them replaced? Thanks
