1.) Your C.B. radio lothario persona will be called Heart Breaker Breaker.

2.) You are stuck behind a chucklenuts in a pickup truck going 42 in 55, as if he is incapable of understanding anyone else might have things to do. Odds both those bumperstickers say “Trump”: 83%.

3.) Canadians calculate metric distances with a sled rule.

4.) I’m no instructor or educator but I’m a pretty good facilitator… because I have learned from some of the best. I’ll never be the rainmaker I wanted to be because no one can make rain but… I can be a pretty good cloud-seeder as I learned from some of the best.

5.) Often I regret, I doubt but… right now, I feel like I’m doing exactly what I need to be doing in exactly the place I’m supposed to do it, if 15 years later & the long away around to get there. If I hadn’t stumbled so many times, I wouldn’t have learned how to be this now.

6.) Worst part about morning radio, though, is the constant insincere performative laughter at all their own tired jokes. Its somehow worse than a canned laugh track or even SNL actors breaking character. It insults our intelligence.

7.) Predicting the end of the world then actively trying to get everyone to all kill each other, that’s just cheating. That is the “taking steroids” of doomsayers.

8.) I like to think we made the moon lander look like a giant mechanical spider as a bluff to scare off other species. Like “dont even mess with Earth’s moon, Earth will sic giant mechanical spiders on you.”
