America big, America great. America have a lot of problems. A lot of good things and a lot of bad things.

We have so much wealth and resources, it just needs distributed much more fairly.

I’m using Visible unlimited for $30 a month. As soon as I signed up Verizon bought them, but it’s been fun for a couple years now.

And every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me.

-The White Stripes

And the band members were in their 20s when they wrote this song. Old souls.

I think people just want something to do and some encouraging people around them.

I didn’t buy it, but I was at Cooter’s Garage near Luray VA this spring and on the wall was a big cool detailed map with a bunch of motorcycle routes and bars, restaurants, and attractions to see all over WV, VA, and OH. I asked if they had it for sale and the lady said, no, but there was a little smaller version available with the brochures. So I got a folded-up one that’s still neat.

Sunny and 80F (26C) with low humidity.

Not that I know of. Let smaller automakers make EVs and we might get something like that.

But with the federal government mandating that all cars must have automatic braking after a certain date in the future I guess we’re never going to get away from tons of sensors and computers in cars.

A good shower head with better pressure and spray pattern. The one I got was Oxygenics, hopefully they are still good.

If you see a guy walking down a neighborhood street dressed like a letter carrier you can probably assume he is a letter carrier.

But maybe he is a stripper on his way to a party.

Yes it’s ok to generalize. That is how humans quickly cope with an overwhelming amount of information. But you always need to be flexible and willing to recognize that not everyone fits the generalization.

It can. But it’s not guaranteed.

How long until you see shapes?

Not sure I like this because it assumes it is her business to decide whether you’re doing the job.

The Breeders “Drivin’ on 9” was a cover of song by an obscure band called Ed’s Redeeming Qualities. The Breeders version is IMO sweet and meloncholy but the original is rather weird.

Metallica might have been more influenced by the Thin Lizzy version. But the song is older than The Dubliners.

Subterranean Homesick Blues

There seem to be a lot of exceptions for medic-related jobs.

Yeah the hours the medical field demands seems ridiculous. I have a friend working 18 hour shifts as a transport driver. Why is that considered a good idea?

I believe there is extraterrestrial life, unless God exists. Then who knows?

I think UFOs have natural explainations, are mistakes or hoaxes, or are human technology.

I seriously doubt aliens have traveled here only to play peek-a-boo in the skies. I could sooner believe UFOs were interdimensional anomalies than aliens who traveled from another planet in the universe via space.
