You know I'm more than willing to "Look out for Bikers" when driving.
I do think though, at some point they need to take responsibility when they drive like idiots.

A guy in a large nice SUV pulls up next to me a grocery store parking lot, beckons me to come to the door of his car and reaches over his young son to insist on shaking my hand.
He then apologizes and says he's on vacation from Dubai and unfortunately he's lost his wallet and all of his money...

How often do you think producers for jazz bands have to sit down the bandmates and say:
"You can't be all things to all people You have to make a choice.
Do you want to make music for self-important white college kids or for people who are trapped in an elevator?
It's time to pick a path."

At Comic-Con in ABQ this weekend, volunteers were allowed to pick out a Hot Wheels from a bin full of hundreds.
One of the volunteers hoping to make an informed decision called out multiple times: "Does anyone know anything about cars?"
The silence while expected...was also telling.

Our kids decided to binge watch HumansVsHamsters this morning which entertained everyone except our 5 year old.
While he would dance ecstatically whenever the rodents won, he was repeatedly reduced to a blubbering mess whenever the hamsters came up short.
Curse you humans, curse you!

Things I learned from TV
Often, I find myself walking through my yard absent-mindedly and end up tripping on a big old pile of junk gold that I keep convincing myself I'll use for that project that I never started and I think it's finally time to admit I never will.
Apparently you can recycle it?

Did anyone else use to get free payphone calls when they were a kid by unscrewing the microphone from the bottom of the handset and shorting out the contacts with a coin?

Frugal Life Tip:
If you use the McDonald's app and pace your stops exactly 15 minutes apart you can pick up a steak egg and cheese bagel and a large coffee for only $2
Healthier Life Tip:
Ignore the frugal tip and just buy an apple and a bottle water and just glare at them forlornly all morning

Here's my Winter Wonderland version for my friends and family stuck in the north:
Accidents, it's the season,
Icy roads, are the reason.
We slip and we slide,
Soon we'll collide,
Driving in a winter f*d up land.

Life Pro Tip:
If you get offered a call back when on hold with a service provider I recommend screaming at the top of your lungs when they ask you to say your name for the call back.
It is so worth it to get the forgotten call 30 min later asking "...is 'AAAaaaGGGGgggHHHHHHHHH' available?"

In our home, banana bread is never planned, it is always the byproduct of finding over-ripened bananas in the pantry.
I'm not sure what the moral of this revelation is but the end results are delicious.

You know, the problem with modern Tibetan throat singing is that nowadays every song is some sad retreaded trope about beer and guns and pickup trucks and women in tight blue jeans.

By dint of the fact that they include sleigh bells:
I'm pretty sure that "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
and
"I wanna be your dog" my Iggy Pop
can be considered Christmas music...right?

Fun fact: Clarke probably made that observation immediately upon seeing the reactions of coworkers after he improved an Excel spreadsheet simply by using conditional formatting for the first time.
