both my kids say “I hate going to school”
I used to say “I hate going to school”
now I’m an adult and all I want to do is learn. I spend 50% of my day trying to learn about the world

the universe will humble you in a minute’s notice
not 5 minutes after I posted my last note about selling my wife’s car, she calls me, hysterical, because she flooded out our only remaining car in the storm
she managed to pull it into someone’s driveway and got stranded there
I ended up taking a $50 Uber back home, which took 45 minutes.
Once home, I changed clothes, grabbed a headlamp and rain jacket, then rode my son’s mountain bike through 2-3 miles of floodwaters to meet up with my wife
we left the car in the guy’s driveway (with his permission) and walked our asses home, through the flood and rain
STAY HUMBLE
or get rekt
I still live in the same town I grew up in, even the same zip code. My first vehicle was a '79 Bronco, lifted with 33x12.5" tires. I loved that truck and worked my ass off for it.
Ironically, I stalled it out during a summer flood in the '90s, just four houses down from where my wife nearly did the same thing tonight in our Toyota SUV. She says she got disoriented in the downpour and panicked, & headed in the wrong direction. I was just a teenage dumbass when it happened to me.
The trick with the summer floods? Avoid them altogether or wait them out.
In a flood, even the tow trucks aren’t running, much less Uber.
there was nothing to address last night. vehicle was stranded, surrounded by knee & waste deep water until this morning.
Just road the bike back to pick it up the Toyota. She started up, no addressable issues.
just now sold my wife’s 7yr old vehicle to Carvana. What a strange impersonal experience that was, but they offered & paid us $5k more than everyone else we solicited.
it’s raining so hard here that the city is flooded so my wife refuses to come pick me up. The rain let up here by Carvana for about 3min so I sprint about 1/2 mile to a bar & am now drinking Stone IPA’s by myself until the Uber surge rates come down.
hahaha WINNING! 🍻 https://image.nostr.build/8c4bdf434d0772f0cf8e69dc373c503da2a06733a545a3c10e7850f775454f82.jpg
