I don’t understand the “summon by loud honk” move that cars do outside my neighbors’ homes. “HONK! I’m here to pick you up!” We have cell phones. Some of them smart. Use the texting feature. “I’m here” could be a helpful message. Stop wrecking my life with your honks.

I want to buy an electric bicycle, and to live close enough to work to use it as my only transportation. Work is 60 miles away.

A car flew by me on the highway tonight. I daydreamed of it hitting debris, over correcting, and just missing the guardrails to plunge into the Missouri river below.

Someone contaminated the party, and two days later half the party got sick. I shat water off and on for 24 hours and managed not to puke. It’s embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as it would be to pass it onto someone else.

The “text and die” campaign is a failure. Drivers can’t stop murdering on the roadways. I suggest a different slogan: “Text at the stoplight, accelerate late, and feel the fury of a dozen eyes in the six cars trapped behind you.”

Flame at the hands of man. Conquer species, conquer the world, then drink and blow stuff up for fun. Man’s evolution.

“Do you mean you couldn’t care less?” “No. I could care less. Give me more info. I’m only going to continue to care less and less to the point that I couldn’t possibly care less.”

I subscribed to a variety of newsletters at checkout through the years. Hoping to score big savings from a variety of online vendors, I allowed constant assault on my inbox. I needed to ween myself off e-newsletters. Upon unsubscription, most online merchants politely complied. The remaining merchants complied and bid adieu, but warned it might…
